Plot Progression

2. School Conflict and Expression — A diagnosis turns the school community against Gandhi, forcing a choice about whether to stand by him. A film festival follows a riot, while exclusion from basketball creates another school conflict.
3. Changing Fortunes — Study pressure and a move into Cleopatra's home reshape daily life. Cleopatra gains a dance-show opportunity, and Gandhi's music becomes an unexpected success.
4. Escalating Disruptions — The students' raisin-smoking craze leads adults to devise containment measures. A death caused by litter brings grief, while Gandhi's wrongful imprisonment adds a personal crisis.
5. Prom and Holiday Closure — Prom preparations give way to romantic uncertainty, Gandhi's posse, and a threat to take the clones back. The Snowflake Day episode shifts toward gift-giving and the meaning of the holiday.
