Jimmy denies this, but Davis attacks Jimmy with his slingshot which prompts Jimmy to chase him." "Gary is hassling Petey. Jimmy enters the room. Gary first gets Jimmy angry when he requests that he "leave the thinking up to him", and then gets Jimmy angry at Petey by claiming that Petey said Jimmy was dumb.

Algie explains to Jimmy that he has some library books that need to be returned, but he's scared to go to his locker to get them because of the Bullies.

He declines to go himself, as he is busy 'planning'." "Jimmy wanders into the Girls' Dorm to overhear an argument between Beatrice and Mandy. Mandy has stolen Beatrice's lab notes, and easily pushes her around when Beatrice tries to take them back. With no one else around, Beatrice begs for Jimmy's help.

Tad says he was waiting for Jimmy and explains their idea of egging Mr. Hattrick's house for nearly getting Mr. Galloway fired.

"Jimmy is surprised to find the Boys' Dorm empty except for Pete, who's watching television by himself. Pete is very despondent about Gary's betrayal.

She spots Jimmy and launches into a speech about the holiday season pageant she's putting on, and how the whole thing is about to be ruined because one of her percussionists has appendicitis.

Pete is there and Jimmy greets him, but later ignores him. He asks Algie what the next step in their plan to take the Jocks down is.

This last bit he amends to say that they will rule, Earnest being "Merlin to Jimmy's King Arthur". Finally, Earnest explains that he needs Jimmy to go get the Mascot outfit from Constantinos. Since Constantinos is unlikely to give the outfit to Jimmy, Jimmy has to figure out a way to take it from him." "Jimmy sees Mandy sitting at the back of the bleachers in the gym by herself, apparently very upset and he sits down next to her. Unexpectedly, she pours her heart out to him. The pictures that Jimmy took for Earnest earlier in the mission Paparazzi have been blown up into posters and placed around campus and town. Mandy is horribly upset, thinking that now everyone will think she's a slut, and that she'll probably get expelled. When she says that she "probably deserves it", though, Jimmy is moved to pity and agrees to do something about it." "Earnest is reading a men's magazine, reciting an imaginary conversation he'd have with the centerfold to himself. Jimmy, carrying the Mascot costume, enters the Observatory quietly and listens, laughing under his breath. Just as Earnest has the centerfold say "Take me to the hay barn", Jimmy interrupts him.

Jimmy sees him and tells him to put the bottle down and reminds him that he promised Ms. Philips to stop drinking.

Jimmy offers to go try and find proof that Hattrick is doing this."

"Greasers leader Johnny Vincent has disappeared, Lola and Norton are arguing and they both blame each other - right up until Jimmy walks by, at which point they turn on him. Lola is at her most manipulative, swinging between anger, tears, and flirting so rapidly it's clear that none of it is sincere, all while being unwilling or unable to give Jimmy any useful information. Norton, however, says he heard that someone saw a couple of Asylum Orderlies drive up to Johnny's house." "As Jimmy is walking through the small residential area in Blue Skies Industrial District, he sees a girl named Zoe. She tells Jimmy she used to go to Bullworth.

They both immediately think of Russell." "After Russell has smashed through the gate, he somehow manages to get up relatively unscathed. The police turn up, however, and he runs off. Zoe arrives and agrees to help Jimmy find Edgar Munsen, the leader of the Townies."

"Zoe is waiting for Jimmy outside her house in Blue Skies Industrial Park, but she's agitated and not happy to see him. She breaks the news that a full-scale riot has broken out in Bullworth Academy. Zoe goes to get the Townies together, while Jimmy has to track down Russell."
