Leighton and Whitney are invited to join Kappa Beta Rho sorority, as Whitney prepares to join an out-of-school game while Leighton is nudged to date Cory. Meanwhile, Kimberly accompanies Bela to attend an alumni dinner where her idol, Danny Marawitz, will donate to the Catullan.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • The Beard: Leighton consciously dates and has sex with Cory despite being a lesbian.
  • Broken Pedestal: Bela's hero worship towards Danny shatters when he humiliates her in racist and sexist terms in front of the entire dinner.
  • Call-Back: Bela dismisses the "chugga chugga chill out" catchphrase Danny Marawitz's character said in an old comedy series as lame. Then when she calls him out at the end:
    "You're like toxic podcast funny, at best. So, chugga chugga, chugga chugga eat shit."
  • Comically Missing the Point: Jena thinks that Willow is about to bang Whitney when she starts acting defensive about their conversation (actually about the latter's secret relationship with Dalton).
  • Irony: No one at Kappa is interested in Leighton's stereotypical attempts to fit in with the Kappa Beta Rho, but they are smitten with Whitney despite her showing no interest in fitting in.
  • Karmic Jackpot: The Catullan lost donations from Danny Marawitz thanks to Bela calling him out, but they end up receiving half the donation from an alumnus who felt insulted by Danny as well and was waiting for someone to call him out.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bela tears Danny Marawitz a new one for insulting her.
  • Secret-Keeper: Willow is sworn not to out Whitney's relationship with Dalton.
  • So Proud of You: Evangeline visibly smiles after Bela loudly castigates Danny at the end.
