Chyna and her ANT (Advanced Natural Talent) friends find out about a school party being hosted by Lexi Reed, one of the big kids. Everything starts to fall apart when Chyna's father finds out she snook out. Chyna, Fletcher, and Olive ruin Lexi's party, causing everyone to turn on Chyna. However, she makes things better by singing 'Dynamite'. When Chyna's father catches them at the party, he almost pulls Chyna out of the ANT program, but she levels it down to three weeks of grounding.
