The Little Liars devise a plan to humiliate Karen after Imogen shows them an embarrassing video of Karen. Tabby suggests to play it during the double feature at the Orpheum, so no one can record it.

Kelly, impersonating Karen, confesses to Principal Clanton that she was the one that committed the crimes The Liars were punished for, but this was just the twins' plan to get back at Imogen for the video. Karen drops out of the spirit queen race. The girls arrive at the party, and the principal announces Imogen as the spirit queen. Previously, Kelly proposed to get revenge at Imogen by pouring a bucket of red paint on her while she receives her crown.[a] Before the plan is executed, the girls see Karen hiding in the rafters and try to warn Imogen.
