Brenda feels out of touch with her surroundings and decides to drop out of school and house-sit for her new and mature friend, Sky. She later finds out the adult world isn't the best place to be. Meanwhile, Brandon runs for junior class president and enlists Andrea and Kelly's help for his campaign.

Brandon interviews Roger Azarian, the school's tennis star, and when he reads his dark and twisted screenplay, Brandon worries that the events in it might come true. Meanwhile, everyone is thrilled by their SAT results except for Donna, who got low SAT scores and begins acting out, unaware that she has a learning disability.
