Fish Hooks

Network: Disney Channel
Running time: 30 min (2 episodes)

Episode name: Queen Bea

Targeted age group: tweens

Plot: It’s the Student Council Dance and the council is thinking of naming Bea the Queen. The only requirements the council has for the position is that the queen needs to be mature, sophisticated, and not embarrassing. Just then her parents offer to chaperone the dance. Bea asked Milo and Oscar to help her with her parent’s situation. Milo and Oscar plan a fake dance for Bea’s parents to chaperone. Bea is forced to go back and forth between the both places.

Personal Thoughts/Educational Tie Ins: The series deals with typical situations teenagers go through in school. Bea should have just been honest with her parents to save her the trouble of being in two places at once but like every teenager they need to go through the motions in order to realize that they made a mistake and they should have just come forward with the truth.
