Plot[]
The students are forced to seek shelter at East High during a heavy storm, which causes a power outage at the school. Rehearsals continue and Carlos and Gina bicker over who can best choreograph "Be Our Guest". They eventually realize their similarities and agree to reach a compromise. Nini returns to East High to say goodbye to the drama club and finds out that E. J. was rejected from Duke University. Mr. Mazzara comforts E. J. by telling the story about his rejection from Caltech. Miss Jenn offers to drive Nini to the bus stop, but the pair get stuck in snow from the storm. Nini confesses to Miss Jenn that her time at the performing arts school has been less than ideal; she has been feeling stifled and unfulfilled. Miss Jenn reassures Nini that dreams can change, like when she gave up her dream of performing on Broadway for teaching. Nini bids farewell to Ricky at the bus stop and struggles to leave again. Miss Jenn is pleasantly surprised to find that Nini has not boarded the bus, and that she will be permanently returning to East High.[1]
