Here.

Yours is broken, too.

Pity.

Miss Woods, you and your sister

seem to share a great deal.

She's my best friend.

You also share a pair of bracelets?

Yours being slightly more pink?

Yes, ma'am.

But recently I've misplaced it.

- Mr. Golden found it in his Iocked office.

- That's it!

The same Iocked office

where the answers to your tests

were stored in his computer.

The same answers that we found

taped beneath your desk.

Oh, Izzy.

It was all my fault. I was the one...

Unfortunately, I have no other option

than to pronounce the two of you...

Wait!

Sorry. I couldn't stop her.

Excuse me. This does not concern you yet.

It does.

Not as a sister, but as a student.

And every student at Pac Prep

has certain rights.

"No student may be expelled

without a fair hearing

"before a jury of their peers."

Something called the...

"Student Jurors Council."

She's right. I double-checked.

You had some spare time

while you were blocking the door?

It's right here in black and white.

"No matter how guilty

the accused may seem,

"they do have a right

to defend themselves."

Very well, Miss Woods.

If it's a public spectacle you want,

a public spectacle you will get.

Annie, we are so sorry.

Everyone knows about Chris and Izzy.

- What?

- Well, I guess not everyone.

Just never would have believed

they'd cheat to make you Iook bad.

It is so gross how a guy can break up BFFs.

Even sister BFFs.

Annie, wait!

If you need to talk,

we're here for you.

Please stop!

Annie, you don't think we did this, do you?

Let's just say I've heard enough!

Expulsion?

Did you do this so we'd have

to move back to England?

- I didn't do it, Dad.

- Then tell me what happened.

There's nothing to tell.

I studied my backside off,

and I scored well on that test!

But since even my own sister

doesn't believe me,

I know I'm in massive trouble.

Annie?

Annie, say something.

I don't speak to Benedict Arnolds.

Do you know who he is, Izzy,

or do I need to print up

a crib sheet for you?

That was uncalled for, don't you think?

She's never scored higher than me.

She studied hard for that test, Annie.

And she had

the best history tutor in the world. You.

Are you certain there might not be

a Iittle bit of jealousy

involved here, perhaps?

She stole my score! And the boy I fancy!

Enough!

Look, I know this move

has been difficult for the both of you,

but I don't buy Izzy doing

either of those things,

and I don't think you do, either.

Izzy is your sister, your built-in best mate.

Talk to her.

Before it's too Iate.

Do you swear you didn't do it?

I swear on my BCBG dress.

The one I found on sale with a pink...

Halter neck.

Yeah, that one.

I've never Iied to you, Annie.

I will never Iie to you, ever.

Chris, I swear I never...

We don't have to talk about it.

Tiffany thought I was you,

and told me I was a troll

for making out with Chris

behind the bleachers.

I know now.

It's fine.

It's not fine because it's not true!

I'm not with Chris! That never happened!

Oh, my gosh.

Tiffany was completely tricking us.

She must've known I was me,

pretended I was you

to drive a wedge right between us.

What a cow!

But we might be bigger cows

for Ietting her come between us.

Almost.

Annie, I can't fight Higgins without you.

You won't have to.

I'm with you.

Always.

You sort of owe Chris an apology, too.

Oh, I know. I feel so daft.

Make you a deal.

You get me off the hook, and I'll make sure

Chris finally asks you out.

Did you cheat?

Absolutely not.

Then I'm really sorry I thought you did.

For a girl who's right so often,

you sure have been wrong a Iot Iately.

But not anymore.

Thanks, everyone, for sticking by us.

Nobody at school is even talking to us.

We're not Iike that.

If you say you didn't cheat, we believe you.

Even I believed they were guilty

until they told me the rest of the story.

Okay. We have until Friday

to prove your innocence.

Everybody know what to do?

- Ready?

- Break!

Sony, G, are you ready

To kick out the jams?

We're gonna go rock steady

A purchase, a porcupine

A peanut pomegranate

Damn it, yes

'Cause that's how we send it

Down, down

Right through the hoop

Got the chief on the horn

I got a scoop here

Extra, extra

Read all about it

BTK's top billing

So shout it

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

We need to see how easy it is

to gain access to your backpack, Chris.

Seems quite secure.

There's only one other student

that I know of with that same backpack.

Tiffany.

Tomorrow, then.

Bag, Charles.

Izzy, do you remember

our matching Claire Dejune

designer snappy purses?

They also came with a Iittle key.

And when you Iost yours...

We used yours to open mine.

One key opened both purses.

Snappy purse?

So, have you got anything, Vivek?

You'll be happy to know we found nothing.

But we did find a red smudge

and we think it could be blood.

Since we're not discussing a homicide...

I admit we're a bit Iight on evidence

if all we've got is a smudge mark.

But sometimes a great barrister

can make the best of what Iittle there is.

Barrister? How could a dude

from Starbucks be any help to us?

- A Iawyer.

- Oh!

Which we don't have.

I was talking about you, Izzy.

There isn't a better barrister

in the whole world,

especially once you've been prepped by me

and my crack Iegal team.

Oh, yeah. AII right.

Yeah. Yeah.

AII rise.

I now call the Student Jurors Council

hearing into session.

You may be seated.

This is the case of Pacific Prep

versus Woods and Lopez.

The crime, trespassing,

breaking and entering, cheating.

Are the accused present?

We are, Headmistress Higgins.

And who shall be

defending you, Miss Woods?

I, Isabelle Woods, will be representing

both Mr. Lopez and myself, ma'am,

with co-counsel and advice from my sister,

Miss Annabelle Woods.

And for the prosecution?

Tiffany Donohugh and Justin Whitley,

with the aid of our Iegal assistant

Ashley Meadows.

We will humbly represent

the student body of Pacific Prep.

Hey, don't get too comfortable.

This won't take Iong.

The prosecution calls Mr. Golden.

Yes, this is the key I found

broken off in the Iock.

Can you tell me if this half matches?

Why, yes.

As far as you know, Mr. Golden,

how many triple-zero keys

are in existence?

Just the one.

And who does this key belong to?

It belongs to Chris Lopez.

Mr. Golden, can you tell me what this is?

This is the cheat sheet

with the answers to my history test on it.

And where did you find it?

I found it taped underneath

the desk of Isabelle Woods.

Can you point her out, please?

Yes. She's the twin with the ponytail.

Mr. Golden, was there

anything else unusual

about your office on the day in question?

Well, the bracelet.

This bracelet?

And you found this where?

On the floor of my office.

Seems Iike I've seen

this bracelet somewhere before.

Annie Woods, you have one

just Iike this, don't you?

And Izzy Woods, you...

It's mine.

That's odd. Hmm.
