Super Special #9 - Starring the Baby-sitters Club!

Plot
All the Stoneybrook schools are putting on a play, Peter Pan. Jessi sees a flyer for it and decides she is the only person qualified, in all of the schools, to be Peter Pan. She is so confident she goes to the school newspaper and offers to write a insider article about it, since she will be playing the lead. She asks everyone to give her notes from their experience, so...we get a Super Special.

Highlights

• Jessi, however, does not get to be Peter Pan. Kristy does. Jessi is a freaking pouty baby about it the entire book. She gets cast as an Indian....or Lost Boy? Something like that. But she rejects the role. She does help choreograph dances for the little kids, but crosses her name off the program because she is literally the most bitter giant baby ever. Then, at the very last minute, Pete Black,  who is playing the dog and the crocodile, breaks his nose so Jessi gets to fill in. 
• Kristy is Peter Pan, and she has problems learning her lines, but then she is amazing. 
• Dawn is Wendy, and she wants to change all Wendy's lines to be more #metoo, but she gets denied. She gets her life together and is amazing. 
• Stacey and Sam are still dating, and they get cast as Mr. and Mrs. Darling. Sam makes a big show of teasing her, and it ends up it's because his friends give him a hard time for dating a younger girl and he wants them to see how much fun they have together. Finally they talk about it, they get their lives together and they are amazing. 
• Mallory is on the costume team, but she is too embarrassed to measure any of the boys so she is basically worthless. Then she becomes even more worthless bc she doesn't think she needs to be doing anything so she starts telling all the little kids what to do. But...
• MaryAnne is hired on (for free) to be the "backstage babysitter" and Mallory starts butting into her job when she gets bored with her real job. MA finally snaps at her, and Mallory finally realizes she actually does need to pay attention and do her job. 
• Claudia is a set designer. She is amazing. 
• Karen, per usual, is a little brat and, even though the director wasn't planning on casting anyone as TinkerBell, Karen gets cast and is amazing. 
• This play was offered to all the Stoneybrook skills, but somehow Kristy and Dawn get the leading roles? No one older auditioned for those? Basically the only high schooler in the play is the guy who plays Captain Hook (who Mallory won't measure even though its her fucking job).
