 After getting busted at the Chugalug bar, the girls all take the time to talk with each other behind bars while waiting for Mrs. Garrett to bail them out. Since they re minors, the law decides to go lenient on them, but the headmaster insists that they be put on probation for their actions, which includes working in the cafeteria. The girls have a rough time trying to work out their internal issues, especially Blair and Jo, who still don t see eye to eye with each other. When an ugly mêlée erupts between Jo and two other snobbish students, Blair steps in to back her up. It is here that Jo must learn who she is on the inside with Mrs. Garrett s guidance as she begins to ponder whether or not she really belongs in a prestigious school, where the students look down on her because of her upbringing.
