The Wannabes
Earth Day
S1 E5:
After viewing a film in class about global warming, Mariah takes it upon herself to save the world, one school at a time. Her maniacal rampage leads to a student protest which brings about attention from Mr. Pesckow who makes improvements at Highlands. Believing her crusade is successful, Mariah is shocked when she draws attention from the media while she works at Mr. Moody's. Unfortunately, the media turns into a slanted expose on the sweet shop, charging Mr. Moody with several eco-violations. Mariah recruits the gang to help Mr. Moody regain his reputation by making eco-friendly changes to his business. Meanwhile, when Mr. Moody shares fan mail with the gang, Sarah feels less gratified since her mail seems mostly from younger kids while Mariah and Shaylen receive fan mail from more mature boys. After several tokens of affection show up for Sarah, she begins to get suspicious about her anonymous admirers. After an over-the-top singing telegram arrives, Sarah gets the rest of The Wannabes to fess up to the gift giving. Moved by their confessions, Mr. Moody reveals that he's been hiding Sarah's fan mail from mature boys. Sarah asks her dad to trust her to make good decision when being pursued. Though he agrees, seconds later he dismisses a fan boy who's shown up for the "Prickly Pear" (aka Sarah).
