Alexis is dejected, but she's also hopeful, seeing it as a chance to ask the love of her life, Matt, to help her! But when she realizes that Matt is working with the pretty, fresh, fun Samantha Perry, Alexis can't hide her jealousy. She isn't usually an envious girl, but she can't help it this time.
