On the final day of the school year....

Sammie sit up in bed, blearily rubbing her eyes as her dad throws open the curtains.

Scott: Sleeping Beauty, rise and shine! Summer hasn't started yet!

Sammie: All right, all right! I get it!

Scott: Any special plans for your last day as a sophomore?

Sammie: Hmm, I wanna say bye to everyone. It'll be my last chance before summer starts.

Scott: Do any of your friends have fun plans for summer vacation?

Sammie: I don't know yet. But I'll ask when we talk.

Sammie's dad grins as he pulls something out from a bag he put on the floor.

Scott: Here, wear this!

Her dad flings a red shirt in the air at Sammie. It flops down over her knee.

Sammie: Dad....

Scott: I know you don't trust your old man's fashion sense, but make an exception, okay?

Sammie hold the top up. It's emblazoned with a tiger's pawprint.

Sammie: I hate to admit it this, but it's perfect....The graduating seniors will get a real kick out of this! First impressions are important, but so are last ones....

Sammie spin around in the mirror and check herself out.

Scott: Was I right, or was I right?

Sammie: You were right. Now this is the right way to send off the seniors. What do you think, Bonnie?

Bonnie peers at Sammie after glugging down her water.

Bonnie: Squeak squeak squeak!

Sammie: Dawwwwwwww, you make me blush! I'm so glad you approve.

As Sammie head out the door, her dad calls out after her.

Scott: Go get 'em, Tiger! Make that last day count!

Sammie: I'll do my darndest!

At school, during homeroom....

Emma pulls Sammie close and kisses her sweetly before she sit down.

Emma: Morning, Sammie! Ready for your last day of sophomore year?

Sammie: Me? Well, I can't believe this is it. The year went by in a blink of an eye! I didn't even realize it'd end so soon.

Emma: Yeah, it still doesn't feel real. I can't believe the seniors will be gone for good, like Ezra and Payton....

Sammie: At least Max and Kara will be leaving, too.

Ms. Maddox: Sammie, please quiet down. The morning announcements are about to begin.

Sammie: Oh, whoops! Sorry!

Sammie turn her attention to the front of the room. Maria and Tucker smile brightly at the camera.

Maria: Good Morning, Berry High!

Tucker: And Hearst!

Maria: This is your final Tiger and Bulldog News to close out the year.

Tucker: On this day in 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the police have to say you have the right to remain silent.

Maria: And of course, our principal has a special message for the school....

The camera pans to Principal Rivera. She gives the camera a stern look.
