Main Plot
Spinner's day starts out with Darcy apologizing to him about the reason they broke up, but still thinking it was for the best. In Media Immersion, Ms. Sauvé talks to class about their career aptitude tests. Spinner is very unsatisfied with his results: Clown, Police Officer & Lumberjack. Jimmy and Ashley were, however, both pleased with their top result as future lawyers. At his locker, Spinner pulls out a poem and reads it to Jimmy and Ashley about his breakup with Darcy. Jimmy decides that Spinner needs to get out of the funk he's in, and start having some fun. He goes over to Ellie and Marco's house after school.

In the hallway after the game, Alex confronts Serena and asks her way she's treating her this way. After Serena makes a nasty comment to her, Alex shoves her and Ms. Hatzilakos sees and sends Alex to her office.
After school, Alex offers baby carrots to Serena as a peace treaty, but Serena denies. Alex tells her that she got a week's worth detention and asks her if she's satisfied.

Serena walks away leaving Alex upset.
