It's the first day of seventh grade and Addie's looking forward to unveiling her new and improved image. In order to become popular at school, she decides to host a party that Randy usually hosts, but he can't because of an accident.

When Addie finds out that her friends have been telling her little white lies, she takes things too far by drawing up an honesty policy for Zach and Geena. Meanwhile, Ben attempts to avoid doing work wherever possible.

Addie isn't at all worried about looking her best on school picture day until one of the popular girls points out how flat her hair is. Addie tries to improve her hairstyle, but only manages to make things worse.

Addie's mum starts a mother-daughter book club as a way for her and Addie to spend quality time together. However, Addie is filled with boredom from the book club and tries to escape by crawling through the dog door.

Addie gets upset when Geena tells her that she and Jake are just pals and nothing more, so Addie gets all dolled up and starts reading glossy magazines to impress Jake, but that ends up just making everything worse.

Addie wants to become popular at school and maybe even famous, so she auditions for an all-girl band and gets in. However, she soon realises that being in a band isn't exactly what she thought it would be like.
