Raven: Raven's Home was filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Can you guys believe these are the last eggs

I'll ever eat as an eighth-grader?

Yeah, the next time I eat strawberries,

it will be as valedictorian.

The next time I drink juice, it could be as Ramon's girlfriend.

And the next time I eat Hula-Loops, I'll...

Oh wait, nothing will be different.

-Oh! -Please, please, no autographs, please!

Yes. We put our pants on one leg at a time

just like everyone else.

Well, not me. I need help.

You look amazing, Mom.

You and Auntie Rae are going to crush it

on Spring-Lake Spotlight.

Oh, I hope so, Levi.

Chris Spring-Lake's stamp of approval could really put

Your Best-Dressed Life on the map.

What?

Well, how will Chris and his crew find our office

I told you, Booker. No peeking.

You know I'm putting the finishing touches

on the Carver Quest Treasure Hunt.

Yeah, I know, that's why I'm peeking.

It's the biggest eighth-grade event of the year.

And I want my team to win!

Well, you're not going to win by cheating.

What? It's not cheating if you just help me.

Look, I want to finish eighth grade out on top

and hit the high school grounds running.

What you up to, shrimp toast?

Top secret Carver Quest business.

I'm going to my room.

Don't follow me!

Can you believe it, Tess?

We are going out as legends at Carver Middle.

I mean, me as valedictorian,

and you as captain of the championship basketball team.

I know, right?

I mean, I always knew I'd be labeled a legend,

just not this early in life.

(gasps) Should I start my autobiography now?

Um, legend?

No, no, no. See, LeBron James is a basketball legend, right?

Mae Jemison, astronaut legend.

You two are just full of yourselves.

You just learned about Mae Jemison last week.

I-- I knew who Mae Jemison was.

Okay, maybe I didn't.

But the point is, she's a legend and you're not.

Booker, our names will always be mentioned

amongst the greats that walked the halls

of Carver Middle School.

How are you gonna be remembered?

You deserve to be the legend I always knew you were.

Hello? Booker, how are you gonna be remembered?

-Booker Baxter-Carter... -(gasps)

...snack legend. Mmm!

♪ ♪

I have to say, Levi, you're so well adjusted.

If my siblings were graduating

and leaving me all alone in middle school,

I'd like to think I'd handle it as well as you are.

What? Booker and Nia aren't leaving me all alone.

They're just, you know, going to high school.

Exactly. They're moving on.

You won't see them in the halls

or have lunch with them.

Not to mention all the new friends they'll be making.

Wow.

I guess I never thought about all that.

(school bell rings)

The treasure hunt starts in five minutes.

Levi, why don't you go hide this last chest

while I go handle the masses in the gym?

Okay, Chris Spring-Lake and his crew will be here any minute!

I know. I know. Which means,

I need to choose my on-screen persona like yesterday.

-Your on-what? -Ooh!

Ooh, maybe I'll be Ms. Divine Atwater.

Mysterious, silent, you know.

What does she know?

What is she hiding?

Why is she even here?

Ooh! Ooh, I know! I'm gonna be...

(drawling): Tammy June Butterfield,

who talks so much no one else can get a word in.

You know? She just keeps talking.

There's a Tammy on every one of these shows.

-Chels. Chels. -She just keeps jaw-jacking.

-(rambling indistinctly) -Tammy! Tammy!

Can you bring Chels back? She's more than enough.

-Yeah. -Okay, thanks.

-They're here. They're here. They're here. -(Chelsea gasps)

Oh!

My, oh my.

You two look triple C.

Hmm?

Cha-cha-ching.

-Oh! -Oh yes. Yes.

A little Spring-Lake lexicon. The focus groups love it.

Now, are you ready to film a TV show?

(drawling): Well, if you're asking Ms. Tammy June Butterfield,

you're rootin'-tootin' right we are!

Nobody's asking, Tammy. All right?

What do you think of our place?

We designed it so it had that friendly television environment.

-Yeah. -I think this space is amazing.

-(both squeal) -It looks perfect.

-I wouldn't change a thing. -Well, there it is!

Okay, people. We're changing everything!

You know the drill. Let's move!

Wait, but hold up. Wait a second. You just said...

Alexandra: All right, eighth-graders,

who's excited for this year's Carver Quest?

(all cheering)

I can't hear you!

(cheering louder)

I said I--

Oh, sorry, I still had my earbuds in.

As you know, you'll break off into teams

and will be given an envelope with a clue

that will lead you to your first treasure chest.

Each team will have their own set of clues.

But you're all competing for the grand prize,

to have your names engraved

on The Wall of Peanut Legends.

I can see it now.

The wall?

No, my name... on the wall.

And I just sent out

your team assignments right now.

(indistinct chatter)

Yo, guys, I'm on the Blue Team.

Yo, and I'm the captain!

-I'm Blue too. -Me too.

-What are you, Ramon? -I'm Green.

Oh, no. Now I'm really blue.

Yo, I'm so pumped!

With your brains, Tess's competitive spirit, my gut instincts,

and whatever these guys bring to the table,

we're going to be legends!

Look, Book, I'm not pressed to win anything today.

I've worked my tail off, and I've made my mark.

Your girl's in chill mode, okurrr.

Yes, Book, that's right.

I can say okurrr now.

Nia, this is my chance to leave my mark.

I need my name on that wall.

It's not fair.

Danisha gets to spend all day with Ramon.

(gasps)

Oh, no, what if he starts liking Danisha?

Over you, Tess? Never.

But, hey, if I were you, I wouldn't trust Danisha.

You know she stole student council election right from under me.

Hey, guys, you know, I hate to sound too much

like Mr. Patel's math class,

but please focus.

Wow, that was a really good Mr. Patel. Have you been practicing?

Focus!

Well, what are you guys waiting for?

Come get your first clue!

Nia, Tess, what do you guys think?

Why is she so close to him?

And why isn't he moving away?

He must like it. How did that happen?

Do you think I should start my valedictorian speech

with an inspirational quote or a joke?

See, I was thinking something like,

"Why do peanuts come in pairs?

Because they're leg-umes."

Welcome to Spring-Lake Spotlight.

We are at Your Best-Dressed Life,

a Chicago business started by Raven Baxter and...

(snaps fingers)

-Chelsea Grayson. -Kelsey Kayson.

That'll work.

Now what can you tell us about Your Best-Dressed Life?

Uh, we are a life-styling company--

Hey!

I know a thing or two about style.

My Spring-Lake spring fashion line.

Too hot for any other season.

Now what makes your ladies' company

different from other styling companies?

Well, as Chelsea was trying to say...

we like to style our clients from the inside out.

Mm!

Let's bring out Meg.

Meg is a recent divorcee who is sad, lonely,

and looking for life-styling.

Oh, I'm not actually sad,

I just want a fresh start.

I won this on the radio.

-Oh! -Good for you.

You are so brave.

Raven, Kelsey,

the Spring-Lake Spotlight is on you and your business.

Let's get Meg on the fast track

to bounce back.

Bounce back from what? I was caller 25.

(indistinct chatter)

Hey, Ramon.

Danisha.

Uh, what's so funny? I like funny.

Uh, Danisha just gave me a preview

of her salutatorian speech.

(chuckles)

Oh! Oh, really? What was so funny about it?

I like funny stuff too.

Oh, I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone.

Um, also, I wouldn't be able to do it justice.

Rule 14, subset A:

No fraternizing with other teams.

Um, I was--

Yeah, I don't care. Come on.

Bye, Tess. See you at the finish line.

You people are moving slow.

At this rate, we'll be here all night.

Ha-ha!

Danisha's speech must have been really funny.

I mean, Ramon was all like... (imitating belly laughter)

...and I couldn't even get a... (imitates fake laugh)

And did you see those two huddled up?

Telling secrets?

I was supposed to be the one huddled up, telling secrets.

Well, well, well, well.

Looks like you both have a little beef with Danisha.

Both: Uh, yeah.

Which means you both have a reason

to help me win the Carver Quest.

Tess, Ramon would be so impressed if you won.

That actually... could work.

All right, I'm in.

Yeah, yeah. And Nia, if you won,

you could make jokes about it in your speech,

but Danisha won't be able to.

Oh, my gosh, you're right. you're totally right.

Booker, what are you doing? Let's go solve that clue!

Man, I need a plaque for motivation.

-I like this. -Chelsea: Oh, good!

This really accentuates your posture

while still bringing out your beautiful eyes.

Aww, thanks.

You know who else has beautiful eyes?

(muttering): Hope he doesn't say his eyes, Chels.

Me! And you know why?

Because I'm wearing contacts

from my Spring-Lake Look-See contact collection.

Available online now.

And we can clearly see that Meg needs something truly bold.

Hey, Chris, why don't you let us

handle Meg's clothing makeover.

Well, as we can plainly see,

my new line of women's jackets will be the talk of the town.

Now, next season,

it's about big shoulders.

to push his own brands.

-Uh, yeah. -He thinks he runs this show.

Oh, well, Rae, in his defense,

it is called Spring-Lake Spotlight.

-Yeah, but this is our episode, Chels. -Yeah.

We need to flip the script on Chris Spring-Lake.

What? You got a script?

Oh, come on!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

Here it is! The final clue!

What it's all been leading to, okay.

Basketball legend, academic legend,

whatever these guys do legend...

and Carver Quest legend.

Oh, Tess, that would make us double legends.

Hi. Could you let me have this, please?

Okay, let's look in the box and hurry this along

so I can get back to Ramon.

All right. drumroll please.

(imitating drumroll)

Impossible.

The final clue is gone.

How am I gonna become a legend

if I don't find this final clue?

Maybe the final clue fell out of the treasure chest.

Let's look.

Looks like the Blue Team is in the lead.

Well, we were. But the treasure chest is empty.

Let me see.

How did this happen?

Who else might know where the final clue is?

Well, Levi said he was going to hide it.

He's been working so hard.

So, why don't we split up and look for him?

No, no, no. You guys go wait in the gym.

I know where to find him.
