Ep 2. Lainey's All That

Lainey's All That takes viewers back to William Penn Academy, where Lainey tries to relive her glory days as an all-star student at the school. When Lainey discovers that Mayda de Waal, a student who seems to embody everything Lainey despises, is attempting to join the A/V club, she knows she has to stop her before it's too late.

Lainey's efforts to prevent Mayda from joining the A/V club are complicated by the fact that she is technically no longer a student at William Penn Academy. Lainey is now a music teacher, but old habits die hard, and Lainey can't resist meddling in the student's affairs, especially when she thinks it'll lead to her own success.

Lainey's plan to stop Mayda involves a trap, and her former student's signature look: a backwards hat and cargo shorts. Lainey gives Principal Glascott a pep talk to get him on her side, and together they hatch a plan to catch Mayda breaking school rules, using her appearance as a sign of rebellion.

Lainey's plan seems to be going off without a hitch -- until Mayda surprises everyone and proves that she is more than just a stereotype. As the episode unfolds, Lainey realizes that she has been too quick to judge Mayda, and that her assumptions about the student have caused her to miss out on an opportunity to connect with a talented young woman.

Amidst all the drama, the show also explores the budding romance between Lainey and Principal Glascott. The two share a kiss at the end of the episode, suggesting that there may be more drama to come in their relationship.

Overall, Lainey's All That is a fun and engaging episode of Schooled that showcases the show's strengths. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the humor is smart and on-point. The episode also touches on important themes of stereotypes, judgment, and the importance of not jumping to conclusions.
