At a school assembly celebrating Lori Fuller and Reanna Barber's direct acceptance to Peaktop U, someone shouts, "I refuse to stand with a cheater." Lori then accuses Reanna of copying her essay and demands a full investigation, producing a screenshot of an online post that matched this year's essay prompt word for word. She tells staff Reanna sat beside her during the test, kept peeking, and copied the entire essay, saying it had happened the same way before. Administrators are stunned; Lori's evidence forces the school to decide whether to open a formal probe, leaving the outcome unresolved.
