Hector secretly nominates Taylor for School Captain, unwittingly igniting her passion for politics.

Taylor finds herself determined to win, all the while trying to ignore her fathers petty annual Christmas Lights rivalry with Brittanys father.

Taylor is struck dumb when she arrives home from school with her friends to find her mother creating a nude sculpture of herself. To make matters worse, her class will attend the public unveiling at Sculpture by the Beach but Taylors effort to upstage the reveal makes a bigger splash than she intended

With a school dance coming up, Taylor starts to query her image and identity. She fears that her refusal to conform to fashion rules will ruin her social life. To improve her life, Taylor decides to change her name.

Its Taylors first day in year 7 at her new high school, and shes confident that it will be everything she dreamed it would be. But her enthusiasm quickly dissolves as everything that can go wrong does go wrong. She misses the bus, loses Hector and, when she eventually makes it to school, she smells like rotten fish - thanks to her mothers super home-mix de-stress aromatherapy ointment.

Its work experience time and Taylor is thrilled to be granted a position with the local radio station, working as a DJ. But her hopes fade as she is assigned to Mystic Marjs psychic talk-back segment. Worse, she is forced to get in touch with her own inner psychic when Mystic Marj accidentally locks herself in the toilets, leaving Taylor to deal with a switchboard full of needy callers, going by the pseudonym of "Claire Voyant". However, Taylor receives a Valentines Day card from a secret admirer (who is actually Hector).

Don and Glenda leave Layla, Taylor and Hector home alone. But when Layla is dumped by her most recent heart-throb, she starts sobbing uncontrollably. Its a domino effect as the oven catches on fire, Hectors half-built model melts and the TV breaks. Taylor and Hector have to dry Laylas tears and save the day, while maintaining their composure enough to complete their school project.

Taylor thinks all her prayers have been answered when she is allowed to move in with Brittanys family for a few days. But she quickly realises the Flune family is a well-oiled machine, with strict house rules.
