Transfer student Ava Richards begins her first week at the prestigious Bishop Gray Academy and she has her eyes set on The List. An edgy roommate, a chaotic work-study buddy, an it-girl frenemy, and a brush with a cute boy on campus would be a lot even without falling in with a secret society, don’t you think?

Warning: This episode includes some seriously risky behavior, including sexual situations, drug use, and some bad decisions.
