Briefly
Repunzil enters a sweepstakes.
Thoughts
The letter Repunzil receives is a reference to Publisher's Clearing House. It's clear to most viewers that she's not going to win money and she's acting irresponsibly.
Detailed Summary
Cold Open: Repunzil gets an entry to a sweepstakes.
Repunzil begins spending the money from the sweepstakes. Betty Anne tries to break the news to her gently by pointing out it's just an entry form. August explains the statistical likelihood of her winning the money is low. Tommy tells her she will not will the sweepstakes. Feeling unsupported, she accepts the friendship of the Populars. Tina immediately mocks the Off-Beats by saying they will get money and the Off-Beats won't. The Off-Beats attempt to talk to Repunzil and tell her the Populars are using her. Repunzil chooses to remain with the Populars because she feels they support her. But their friendship is conditional on her winning the sweepstakes and she doesn't. In the end, the Off-Beats are there for her when the Populars shove her in a mailbox.
