* SexinessScore: The Bridgeton Middle School students create an app ranking the most attractive students in school, with each student choosing their top three candidates. This upsets several characters, like Nick (who wanted to be on his crush Gina's list), Jessi (who knows the idea is demeaning but still feels left out), and Devin (the AlphaBitch who ends up very low on the list because of her bad attitude).

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Jessi pumps Andrew for information about the lists that the boys made and then takes the information straight to [[TheGadfly Matthew]], who escalates the drama via the school news and an app written by Caleb.

Also, Lola put Mr. Lizer on her list, which was visible on the app, and he manipulates her into an utterly indecent relationship in the next episode.
