The Rural Academic Star - Episode 7

On her first day at St. Anne High, a student frets about grades and fears Theo—after a fallout—won't ride with their group. When classmates learn the school is 50 km away and someone will be late, neighbor Melody offers to drive them. Rumors flutter that Melody is Zack's repeatedly rejected crush, but the group accepts the lift; Melody shares her number and leaves a gift. The episode pivots when a man confronts her, snarling, "Everything from the Lynn family and Melody will be mine." It ends with that threat unresolved, placing Melody and the Lynn family in immediate danger.
