[s4e5] House Party -

Chloe arrives early, sensing Maya’s plan. Instead of causing a scene, she plays the "perfect hostess," handing out drinks and making it impossible for Maya to get Jace alone.

This story follows the cast of a fictional long-running teen drama, The Heights , during the fifth episode of its fourth season.

The Sam/Toby heist goes sideways. Instead of a fire alarm, Toby accidentally triggers the high-tech pool security system. Blaring sirens and strobe lights turn the backyard into a chaotic rave. In the confusion, Sam grabs the jacket, but realizes it’s not his—it’s an identical one belonging to the quarterback’s younger brother, who starts screaming "Thief!"

Halfway through the episode, the "perfect" party starts to fracture. Leo discovers someone has tracked mud onto his mother's $10,000 rug, and his anxiety begins to spiral. He tries to kick everyone out, but no one listens.

Sam and his best friend, Toby , sneak into the guest house where the "jocks" have set up a private poker game. Sam spots his jacket draped over a chair. They devise a plan: Toby will pull the fire alarm—or a very loud decoy—while Sam grabs the goods. The Turning Point

By 10:00 PM, Leo’s mid-century modern house is packed. The bass from the speakers is rattling the expensive crystal in the dining room.

Meanwhile, Maya finally corners Jace in the kitchen. Just as she’s about to confess her feelings, Jace reveals he’s planning to propose to Chloe after graduation. Maya is crushed, but she hides it, handing him a red solo cup and wishing him luck. The Climax
