Episode synopsis
The school is staging a musical called Teen Land. Pod 4 and the rest of the school tries out. Amelia is chosen as the lead, with Birch as her understudy. Zeke, a member of Amelia's pod, doesn't like the way she treats him and plots with Liam so that Birch can play the part. They lock her in the bathroom, but she pretends that there is a rat in the bathroom and when they come in to get it, she locks them in. But because Birch is doing so well, Mr. Towes blocks her from coming back. When the whole thing is over, Amelia is very angry with Zeke for helping Pod 4 and chases him through the night.
About My Life Me
My Life Me centers around Birch, a shy high school girl with a penchant for the manga/anime subculture. Birch loves anime and manga, and spends much of her time knee-deep in these media. Navigating high school is no less easy even if you have an idea of what you want to do with your life, which in the case of Birch, is to become a professional comics artist. But alas, all the confusions, distractions, and unwieldy personal relationships of modern teendom keep getting in the way. Add to this her school’s ridiculous new learning structure — The Pod Program — which forces kids to partner into groups; and you have Birch’s perfectly and wonderfully mismatched youth
