On their first day at West Bev, Annie and Dixon encounter Ethan (Dustin Milligan), the star lacrosse player she met a few summers ago; Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord), the spoiled rich girl whose sole focus is her Sweet Sixteen party; Silver (Jessica Stroup), the free-spirited girl who later gossips about Annie on her blog, and Navid (Michael Steger), editor of Blaze News.
When Naomi fails to complete an assignment, English teacher Ryan Matthews (Ryan Eggold) and guidance counselor Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garthbring the problem to Harry, who quickly realizes that keeping secrets about his past is going to be impossible.
Dixon impresses his peers when he tries out for the lacrosse team, but has to deal with jealous teammates who will stop at nothing to sabotage him. Annie misses the deadline to audition for the spring musical but sparks fly when she meets the leading actor Ty (Adam Gregory), one of the most popular students on campus. Ty impresses Annie by flying her to San Francisco for dinner in his private jet, but Annie fails to mention her plans to her parents. Special guest star Shannen Doherty reprises her role as Brenda Walsh.
