Sweet Valley High revs up for the big basketball game with their arch rival, Pali High. It just happens that Jessica's ex-boyfriend, Christian, is their star player which incites problems amongst the gang. Renata is driving Todd crazy with her frivolous ways, and she misinterprets Todd's attempt at a break-up with her as him wanting to throw her a party. Desperate to be on the cheerleading squad so she can be near Todd for the big game, Renata "accidentally" punches one of the cheerleaders in the nose, which increases her chances of making the squad. Sweet Valley celebrates their victory, but the joint dance between the two schools may not be as celebratory - bitter Pali High students have spray-painted Todd's car.
