When Maya leads a rebellion in class, Riley joins in to try to be like her - much to her father, Cory's, dismay.

In an attempt to get the students in his class to stop texting and communicate in person, Cory gives them a homework assignment that teaches them how to communicate face to face, ultimately sparking a real connection between Riley and Lucas.

Riley, Maya, Farkle and Lucas start their freshmen year and quickly learn their place as smaller fish in a much bigger lake.
