Plot summary

After an ultra-cool winter vacation, Alicia informs the Pretty Committee that her cousin, Nina Callas, is coming to visit from Spain. Massie has no worries, even though Nina is one year older than her. Good thing too. Nina in the begining is described as popularity poison. Last time Massie saw her, Nina was an LBR (Loser Beyond Repair) with "underprocessed and underconditioned hair" and very bad style.

On the night when Nina arrived, the Riveras held a huge party at their mansion, and Alicia met her future crush, Josh Hotz, who got expelled from another school, Hotchkiss, after pulling the fire alarm before a major test. Massie is scared of seeing Derrick Harrington, or "Derrington" as she nicknames him, because she doesn't know if he still likes her, because he went to a skate camp and thought he might have met someone else. Claire, on the other hand, is openly friendly with Cam. When Nina comes, everybody is stunned. She wore a tight, revealing dress, and tall boots. She also wore a thong and dark makeup. The worst thing of all, she had a z-cup bust, which attracted all of the Pretty Committee's crushes' attention. Josh Hotz asked if all girls in Westchester look like her, but Massie misunderstands and thinks he's talking about herself.

All the girls in the Pretty Committee dislike her immediately, but Nina manages to gain Kristen's and Dylan's loyalty after a while as she claims to have experience with boys which impresses them. Alicia, Massie and Claire still won't be nice to Nina. Massie doesn't like her as she is stealing her limelight as alpha of 7th grade, Claire doesn't like her because if she did Massie might turn against her and also Nina has introduced a bet for who can get a kiss first at the lovestruck dance, and Claire turns down the bet but Kristen and Dylan agree. Alicia doesn't like her as Nina threatens to go after Josh Hotz. Massie is continuously unfriendly so Nina steals Josh, Cam, and Derrington (Derringtons as Nina calls him). The girls at school are soon worshiping her: following her fashion sense and asking her for boy advice! They plot against her to bring her down. They follow Claire's plan, which is called operation toe jam; operation toe jam which ends disastrously. They find out that Nina is lying about her shoe size and wonder if it has anything connected to why her sister is always ringing her, or why things have been going missing in school. Meanwhile, Claire's brother, Todd, has spy gear that they put onto Nina's bag but she drops it in the boy's locker room, which they go into as it is the only lead they have. In the locker room, there is a pink locker with Kristen's bike lock so they can get in to the locker (Kirsten told them her code). This is Josh's locker (found out by Alicia) with his Polo cologne and Ralph Lauren blazer.

Nina is a thief. Not only did she steal the girls' crushes (Derrick Harrington, A.K.A. Derrington; Josh Hotz; Cam Fisher), but she also stole their possessions! Nina put a fake "Spanish soccer spell" on their the boys. Nina said if Josh, Derrington, and Cam have any reaction with the Alicia, Massie, or Claire then they will lose their game! Of course, the boys believe the over-exposed Nina because they are desperate to win.

Alicia is blessed by getting a job hosting a "talk show" over the OCD intercom, while Massie struggles for power against Nina, whom everyone is choosing over Massie, while Dylan gets over a bad bout of the flu for the Lovestruck Dance.

While the Pretty Committee is single for the Lovestruck Dance, that doesn't mean they won't have fun. Dylan and Kristen are up for the match of who could get their first kiss first (in which neither succeed), and they plan to get their guys back - and better yet - destroy Nina.

After the dance, when Nina was sent packing for stealing students' items, the girls and the guys make up, except for Claire and Cam. She kisses Josh Hotz because she is so hurt and vulnerable because Cam ditched her for Nina. Cam sees this, and runs away before she can explain.
