The bullying goes too far and Trish keeps on calling in sick every day to avoid going to school. Trish later tells Ally that she is going to drop out of school. Ally tells Austin and the two make a song which Austin performs at Shredders. However, Trish still refuses to go to school. It is play night and Dez and Carrie figure out the bully is Margo. After Dez and Carrie put a skunk in Margo's face, Trish gets upset with them for getting back at Margo. Trish informs Coach Simmons about the problem and nicely tells Margo to stop. Margo apologizes, revealing that she was jealous of Trish and promises to stop posting hate. The play continues and nobody makes fun of Trish anymore.
