The Race For Editor-In-Chief
The Race For Editor-In-Chief
Episode 1
The lead editors of the The Circuit, the student-run newspaper at the largest high school in the country, wage an all-out battle for the coveted top position of editor-in-chief. On the line is the chance to lead the paper's staff of 70 — not to mention a juicy spot on a resume to impress college admissions boards. Each candidate brings something special to the table — Giana’s got a nose for news, Adam is an advertising monster, Alex has his finger on the pulse of the student body, and Amanda is a born leader. The one common element they all share is the unfettered drive to succeed — but only one can emerge victorious. Who will emerge to take their award-winning paper to new heights? Will their individual ambitions tear their friendships apart?

Episode 2
After a bittersweet victory, Amanda is now the "big cheese" - whether The Circuit staffers like it or not. And since Amanda's peers spent the summer avoiding her, it seems like they're leaning more towards "not." But Amanda, after taking their often harsh criticism to heart, is now determined to "kill 'em with kindness." She kicks off the year with a brand new look and an old-fashioned ice cream social to bring the staff together. She vows to lead the paper with grace and democracy. But while the other editors are carefully measuring "ice cream socials" on the lameness scale, Amanda takes aside Alex, her "best friend" and second-in-command, to make a pact. He reluctantly agrees to do what's best for the paper and never let their positions get in the way of their friendship. However, with each new issue, it's uncertain if either of them will be able to keep up their end of the bargain.

With Alex on-board as her "Number Two," Amanda assumes they're ready to be the new face of the paper. But their unified front cracks when Alex comes up with a banging football story that puts his 128-pound frame on the gridiron and sacks Amanda's plans for more serious stories. A misunderstanding between them causes a rift in the Amanda/Alex union, but, not sweating it, Alex looks past their problems and has his eye on a junior editor with all the right stuff! The courtship takes them to a Dave Matthews Band concert where he must decide how to balance his senior year with partying and the strictly business world of the paper under Amanda's regime.

Episode 4
It's deadline time at the paper, and reeling from a kick-ass concert and successful romance, a confident Alex is determined to prove he should have been chosen as top dog over Amanda. And judging by the amount of people who want him to edit their work instead of Amanda, he's not the only one who feels that way. Everything goes smoothly until Adam's quest to break the ad sales record leaves them with more pages than they can possibly fill up with stories — leaving their first deadline of the year in chaos.

A ceasefire is restored just in time for the next deadline, but there's no telling how long it'll last. Fortunately for everyone, Homecoming arrives to relieve some stress. Oh, yeah, and one of the staffers just might win Homecoming King! But not without some good old-fashioned smack-talk from the main competition, who is of course a popular football hero.
Superteen Bonding

Episode 7
Giana's article on a teen genius shakes up the paper's status quo — some love him, some hate him, but competitiveness is as competitiveness does and everyone seems to be comparing themselves to him. Alex challenges Trevor, Dan, and Adam to compete against the superteen in various contests of strength and intellect. Meanwhile, in an effort to quell the underlying tension in class, Mrs. Weiss calls the editors in for a team-bonding retreat. To the surprise of many, Trevor steps up and emerges as a strong leader in his own right.
