Go To

It's a night out for several rivals and former friends, as Spencer is asked by Billy to hang out with Frausto, Billy himself unexpectedly gets to hang out with Principal Carter, Laura spends time with Grace, and Olivia has a movie night with Layla.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Billy, Grace, and especially Laura.
  • Brick Joke: Carter wants to ask Grace out with a poem, but Billy suggests to just use "'Sup?" At the end of the episode, Billy asks Laura out with the same poem that Carter wanted to text.
  • Bully Turned Buddy: Billy seems to have honestly become friends with Carter.
  • Drunk Driver: Laura is behind the wheel while hammered.
  • Gender-Separated Ensemble Episode: The gents and ladies have separate arcs, with Spencer hanging out with Frausto, Jordan, and Asher, Billy with Carter, Laura with Grace, and Olivia with Layla and Carrie.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: The episode focuses on four pairs of rivals or ex-friends who end up hanging out. Barring Olivia and Layla, everyone come out better by the end of it.
  • Hidden Depths: D'Angelo learns that Billy can sing, while Billy learns that D'Angelo can weightlift and play piano.
  • Mood Whiplash: Billy and Carter have a feel-good duet at the auditorium... then Carter punches Billy in the face. And then it's revealed that he did that merely to prove Billy's promise that it will feel good (it did).
  • Spoiler: Olivia is annoyed that Carrie spoils the ending of Us, a movie that she and Layla have been saving up for the night. They still watch the movie anyway.
  • You Remind Me of X: Spencer tells Frausto that his attitude reminds of him when he first came to Beverly Hills.
