Mary Lou was Lady Macbeth, Patty was Ophelia, and Cathanne was the chorus girl. Cathanne had tried to convince Glenda to switch ideas with her, but wouldn't tell Glenda what her idea even was. Glenda decided Cathanne was just using her and kept her dance hall queen for herself.

Mr. Hartley was the judge. He made a brief appearance with his date, Nina, and that made Cathanne very jealous. She also had a huge crush on the English teacher. After a long decision Mr. Hartley decided Glenda and Cathanne's costumes were so great that it was a tie.

When the winners were announced Cathanne ran up to him, she threw her arms around him and kissed him dead on the lips in front of the whole class!
