Mine's probably episode three (Under Siege). That's the one with Sam's editorial on the school football team (and cheerleaders) and their budget. Sam gets to be the influential journalist with a cause, her editorial shakes things up, there's plenty of skullduggery and back-stabbing, Nicole does her villain thing, Brooke's trapped in the mess (as usual) and her feud with Sam really gets off the ground nicely. Best of all, we get to see Carly portray Sam's grief when Nicole (helped by a slip of the tongue on Sam's part) frames Mr. Grant, Sam's number one supporter. Carly's great on grief. She makes it real, ensuring that Sam's feelings mean something to the audience. Somehow, to me, the episode's kinda classic Popular. Well, what's your favorite episode?
