The Drummonds visit Edna Garrett at Eastland School during the Harvest Queen competition hoping she will come back to work for them, but she is enjoying her time helping the girls. Visiting the girls, Steven Bradley, the new headmaster, extends curfew for the students for the night which frustrates Emily Mahoney one of the teachers. Meanwhile, the girls endorse Cindy Webster to run against Blair for Harvest Queen. Blair soon makes a comment about her not being feminine enough and even tries to insinuate that she's a lesbian.
