Title From: Stand and Deliver (1988)
Brenda is introduced to the alternative scene and feels like she finds her voice, which doesn't sit well with Kelly. Andrea encourages Brandon to run for student council, but her approach is challenged by Kelly who seizes the opportunity to put the moves on Brandon.
Tropes
- All Elections Are Serious Business: Everyone gets caught up in Brandon's campaign, except for Brenda and Dylan, the former of whom has her own thing going on. Kelly even asks Brenda not to dress a certain way because it could 'hurt Brandon's chances'. On the other end of the spectrum, Andrea abandons Brandon's bid because she feels he sells out his morals.
- Shout-Out:
- Trilby by way of its infamous character when Andrea refers to Kelly as the Svengali behind Brandon's election campaign.
- Twin Peaks gets a nod for Brenda's new fashion, which Kelly derisively refers to as 'hippie witch'.Brenda: It's not hippie witch, it's Twin Peaks and it's very in, but it doesn't matter.
- The Svengali: Andrea refers to Kelly as this after the latter's successful moral corruption of Brandon's campaign.
