Analysis |
| |
Quinn vs. Sandi
This episode is the first to feature the underlying theme of a power struggle between Quinn and Sandi. At the Fashion Club meeting at the mall, they argue and Sandi says that "maybe Quinn should be president," only for Quinn to sarcastically reply that "I could never replace you, Sandi." This forshadows various power struggles and the need to be more popular than the other that occur throughout the rest of the series.
