Episode 1: We're Gonna Rule the School
We follow four outcasts on their first day of junior year at Rydell High. There’s Jane, a brainiac good student who wants to run for student council but is fighting tawdry rumors about her; Olivia, who is still fighting off a scandal from last year; Cynthia, who just wants to be one of the boys; and Nancy, a fashion maven who is growing apart from her childhood friends. The four unlikely friends will shake up the social order of Rydell High.

Episode 7: Cruisin' for Bruisin'
This one’s for the boys. Richie is torn up over Jane, but rather than deal with it, he escapes with the T-Birds on a once-in-a-lifetime excursion that promises girls, games, and glory. But when things go sideways, each of the T-Birds will have to confront the things they’re running from. Back in Rydell, a conversation makes Buddy wonder if everything he knows about himself is actually true.

With the school in a blackout, the future of the Pink Ladies seems more uncertain than ever.
