Overview
Pip turns the investigation toward Andie’s drug supply by arranging access to a calamity party through Ant. Her friends are baffled by Pip’s sudden interest in partying, but Pip is using the event as a way to reach people connected to Andie’s secret dealing.
When Pip tells Ravi that Andie’s supplier could be capable of murder, the investigation gains a new target. Pip’s decision to go undercover marks a shift from interviews and records into active infiltration.
Summary
At school lunch, Pip tries to act casually with Ant, but Ant, Zach, Cara, and Connor quickly notice that Pip is being unusually friendly. Pip waits for the group’s attention to shift before asking Ant about George, a football friend connected to the crowd that still holds calamity parties.
Pip learns that George is expected to host the next party that weekend while George’s parents are away. Pip asks Ant to get the whole group invited, surprising her friends because a chaotic house party is not normally Pip’s scene.
Ant warns Pip that the party will involve drinking, kissing, vomiting, and mess, but Pip insists that she wants to go. Pip frames the request as a last-year-of-school experience, and Ant agrees to arrange it.
After school, Pip visits Ravi and updates him on the new theory: Andie Bell was secretly selling weed and pills, and the unknown supplier might be a suspect. Ravi questions how they can identify the dealer, and Pip reveals her plan to go undercover.
