SYNOPSIS: Elliot’s contest-winning short story was based on an incident Brooke told him about—in confidence. Brooke is furious. Jesse thinks the dumb quarterback in the story was based on him. He’s mad. Iris thinks the story sounds an awful lot like the time someone broke into her locker and ruined her coat. She’s suspicious. Kevin thinks the story is an awful lot like his entry. He’s upset. Lily thinks the story is making fun of something embarrassing that happened to her. She’s offended. As Elliot tries to pacify everyone without giving away Brooke’s secret, he digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole, inventing a different “inspiration” for his story to counter each accusation.
