Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh, God!
- Ugh.
- Keep your head down.
Do your community service
like the judge said.
You really are all kinds of trouble.
You have no idea.
Marigolds draw the eye,
which will make us a shoo-in
for next season's cup.
- We need money, Alice.
- I don't get it.
Without your job, we can't
afford to keep this place.
I want both of you to be
really honest with each other.
Did you do something to my dog?
I'm gonna go stay with my parents.
- Alice.
- She's just a friend.
Nobody looks at their friend like that.
I thought we were just having fun.
You really are a pig.
So what does that make you?
There's something I need to tell you.

Bloomfield Hills broke into

- How do you know?
- 'Cause the only thing missing
is our landscape design.
Bloomfield Hills, riding dirty.
It's like Watergate,
only way more important.
It's still cheating.
They should be disqualified.
Well, they won't be.
What'd the cops say?
That nothing of value was stolen.
Except all our secrets to win the cup.

Marilyn's making them take fingerprints,

Thanks.

A minivan almost mowed down
a third grader last week.
Before we move on to the carnival,
our special events chair
has an announcement.
Morning, everyone.
As many of you are probably aware,
I've been going through
a difficult time.
And it's been suggested
that I take a step back.
So I started thinking,
who would be a better leader
to represent Morningside Prep?
And the first name that
obviously came to mind
was Dana.
[APPLAUSE]
Dana's well-organized, has bomb style,
and is one of the school's
most generous donors.
Terrific. Let's take a vote on Dana.
But then I remembered
she also got caught shoplifting
those lip liners from Sephora.
[GASPS]
And I thought, mm, is that the person
we really want to put in
charge of the gift bags?
Well, next, I immediately
thought of Katie.
- [APPLAUSE]
- Everyone loves Katie, right?
No one's more fun at the parent mixers,
and she makes those
amazing snickerdoodles.
She broke our record at the bake sale.
She also forgot her kid at the mall
because she was so high on happy pills.
But do we really want the person
who "borrows" from our medicine cabinet
to be in charge of fundraising?
I really don't think
this is appropriate.
- Or what about you, Gillian?
- Please don't.
I think you'd make an
amazing special events chair.
Well, I certainly don't think
anyone could question my character.
But they might question, how is it
the head of Grosse Pointe's
animal shelter rescued
a purebred, best-in-show bichon frise?
- What's your point?
- My point
is that we've all done
things we're not proud of.
We have all made mistakes.
Isn't that the example
we should be setting
for our kids, not this
impossible standard
that no one can live up to?
