Panel 1: Now, why are April and Gerald next to each other? Are they lined up by height? It can't be alphabetical, because Gerald's last name is Forsythe. I can't believe that the students would be allowed to sit wherever they want; if people are going to be called to the stage, they have to be in some kind of order so the principal or whoever knows in what order the names should be read.

Also, that kid on April's right looks like Lawrence.

Panel 2: My first thought was that Becky was having some kind of crisis...

Panel 3: ...but I guess this is supposed to be a huge betrayal of 4-Evah.

Panel 4: Becky just can't ever do the right thing, it seems, not being a Patterson and all. If she'd told April ahead of time that she was doing this, it would be "Becky's all bragging because SHE gets to do a solo."

Panel 5: And what is that supposed to mean, Miss Patterson? ETA: Seriously, what DOES that mean?! Personally, I'm all in favor of Becky getting her moment. I still think Gerald was a first-class donkey excavation for telling her she should be the tambourine babe when they were first establishing the band. Roadside gig or not, she has talent. Anyway, maybe this wasn't her idea; maybe she was chosen for it. It can't always be all about you, April.

So it'll be one of two things. Tomorrow she bombs and Monday will be April consoling her, or tomorrow she'll perform beautifully and Monday will be April saying, "What do you think you were doing?!" Either way, she'll be punished.
