Summary:  High school student Carrie Anson suffers from low self-esteem and engages in various stunts in order to draw attention to herself. She believes that if other students perceive her as wild and crazy, than perhaps they will like her. Andrea and Rick suggest that Carrie should run for student body president. Inwardly, they hope that the position might improve her esteem issues. They assign a boy named Gregg to work as her campaign manager. Carrie feels that Gregg doesn't like her however and she continues with her wild stunts. She steals Rick's boat from the marrina and takes it out to sea. Unfortunately, the boat malfunctions and Isis needs to call upon the assistance of another super-hero, Captain Marvel, to help tow Carrie back to shore. Isis convinces Carrie that people really do like her, and that she doesn't need to engage in dangerous stunts in order to have friends.
