Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Orange Collection season 1, episode 7, titled "Rumors / Photo Days," follows Ned and his friends as they navigate the tricky social dynamics of James K. Polk Middle School.
In the first half of the episode, "Rumors," Ned and his friends set out to debunk a vicious rumor that is spreading throughout the school. The rumor involves an unpopular student named Loomer, who is said to have a secret crush on Moze - one of Ned's best friends. Ned and his crew know that the rumor isn't true, but they also know that in middle school, rumors can quickly take on a life of their own. To combat the rumor, Ned and his friends must find a way to prove that Loomer doesn't have a crush on Moze, without causing any unnecessary drama. Along the way, they learn about the power of words and the importance of standing up for what's right, even when it's not easy.
The second half of the episode, "Photo Days," revolves around the annual school photo day. Ned is determined to make this year's photo the best one yet, but he soon realizes that getting everyone to cooperate is easier said than done. Gordy - the school photographer - is notoriously difficult to work with, and the students are more interested in goofing around than posing for the camera. To make matters worse, Moze is unhappy with her outfit and can't seem to find anything to wear. Ned must use all of his wits and charm to get everyone in the right mindset for the photo, and to help Moze find an outfit that she feels confident in.
