The episode begins a few weeks after the last episode with Robyn (Nika Futterman) readying herself to take on ‘Insane Lane’, the most spine-tingling, heart-pounding skating course of all. Peyton (Catherine Taber) watches on, videotaping the event on her phone while Cassandra (Stephanie Anne Mills) and Summer (Hynden Walch) cheer her on. Robyn blitzes through the course with relative ease, making it through tricky courses ‘Ollie Osbourne’, ‘Grinded By The Sun’ and ‘Flipping The Bird’ before entering the ‘Mother Hawker’, the most intense ramp ever devised in a skateboarding rink.
She does several flips on the ramp, all impressive in execution. The others cheer for her, but Cassandra soon notices that she’s going a bit too fast and asks if Robyn could slow down, Robyn doesn’t hear her and keeps skating. Soon the three realize she is running out of control and begin to freak out, calling for her to stop. Robyn finally does hear them just as she’s about to lose control, but by then it’s too late as she flies off the ramp.
Cassandra chases after Robyn, trying to catch her. In the end though, Robyn ends up crashing onto Cassandra and pinning her onto the ground. Robyn celebrates being the ‘world champion of skating’ for a bit until she notices Cassandra lying on the ground and helps her up. Peyton and Summer run up to them in concern, but Robyn assures them that they’re fine. Even more than that, they’re ‘Fa-Sass’.
Robyn gets confused looks from everyone and explains that it’s a cool nickname she came up for her and Cassandra to describe their relationship. Peyton and Summer glance at each other and come up with excuses to head for home. As they do so, Robyn looks away, embarrassed.
That night during dinner, Cassandra asks why Robyn came up with a nickname for them. Robyn isn’t responsive at first, looking at her dinner despondently. Stacy (Tara Strong) notices this and asks Robyn if everything is okay. Robyn quietly tells them that she’s not hungry and heads off to her room for bed. Concerned, John (Donovan Patton)considers talking to her, but Cassandra offers to do so in his place.
Inside Cassandra and Robyn’s room, Robyn can be seen softly crying to herself when she hears the door knocking. She lets her in and Cassandra sees the tears on her face. She comes up to her and asks her what’s wrong. Robyn says she doesn’t get how Peyton and Summer didn’t understand Fa-Sass. Trying to understand, Cassandra asks what a ‘Fa-Sass’ is. Robyn explains that it’s the two of them. The bond they share as a family.
“But they don’t know that.” Cassandra admires Robyn going out of their way to give them their own name, but she’s still new to them and they don’t fully understand their connection yet. Plus, the actual definition of a ‘Fa-Sass’ hasn’t been created yet. She then asks Robyn what a Fa-Sass really means. Robyn cannot answer the question.
Cassandra sits by her, trying to cheer her up, saying that ideas take time to fester and blossom into something great. Fa-Sass may not be perfect now, but she knows that one day the nickname will be trending. It just needs time and some more thought. She also says that it’s a lot better than her first catchphrase, “Everything’s going Cassie.”. Robyn and Cassandra spend the next few seconds trading bad catchphrases for themselves and laugh at them. The two hug each other, Cassandra promising Robyn that she’ll get it one day.
The next day during science class, Mr. Everbuddy (Steven Wright) reminds them that tomorrow is picture day and reminds everyone to wear their absolute best and goes over the dress code. Cassandra smirks, knowing what she and her BFFs are doing today. After class, Cassandra, Peyton and Summer make plans to work on a ‘Picture Day Fashion Show’ and garner clothes from the Groovy Gravy Mall. When Robyn hears of their plans and is asked to come, Robyn tries to pass up the offer saying she’ll just go in her normal wear.
“Uh, Robbie? I’m pretty sure that’s a bad idea.”
Robyn hears Stephanie G (Emile Claire Barlow) next to her and attempts not to be distracted by her. Noticing this, Peyton comes up to her and whispers a few flirty phrases to her. Robyn smiles widely and stands next to her in advance. Cassandra comes up to Stephanie and asks what the problem is, to which Stephanie reveals that one time a girl got caught looking normal and got humiliated by the entire class, even creating a new nickname for her: ‘Blandie Bayley’.
They all shudder the prospect of Robyn becoming the next ‘Blandie Bayley’ as Cassandra makes Robyn’s participation mandatory, much to her reluctance. When the four leave though, Hugh (Vincent Martella) and asks if they bought it. The two break down into a laughing fit and walk off to their class: Stephanie walking into the door before realizing there’s a door knob there.
At the Groovy Gravy Mall, Cassandra, Peyton and Summer are buying everything they can see much to Gideon's displeasure. But before he can tell them to stop, he takes one glance at Peyton glaring at him and explaining the situation and stares at her in awe. Sensing his temptation, Peyton offers him a hundred dollar bill so they can continue their shopping spree. Gideon obliges, letting them do whatever they want in spite of Robyn's inner rage (Sadie (Miranda Cosgrove) ends up taking the hundred dollar bill).
By the time they head out, Cassandra has so many bags she can barely see and has to rely on Summer to tell her where to go. She ends up tripping and bumping into Jupiter (Diego Luna), nearly dropping her bags on the process. Jupiter recovers them and asks if she's planning anything for tonight. She stammers on and on until Peyton comes in explaining they have a fashion show planned at Cass's house. Intrigued, Jupiter offers to come watch. Cassandra breaks into an overexcited cheer, stunning and amusing some of them. When Cassandra sees their reaction, she blushes in embarrassment and welcomes him to come.
That evening: Cassandra, Peyton and Summer all take turns showing off some of their finest picture day fashion wear to the audience Jupiter and Cass's parents. When it's Robyn's turn however, she has cold feet and finds all this stupid. By this point, Stephanie is shown skipping her way home and hears commotion going on from inside the house, she ends up bumping the door and gets in an argument with it, something that takes everyone's attention. Jupiter opens the door and sees Stephanie.
Confused, Stephanie learns about the fashion show to prevent Robyn from becoming a ‘Blandie Bayley'. After being reminded of how she told her story, she cheerfully admits that the story was fake and introduces Robyn to her ‘funny side'. Everyone steps back in anticipation, seemingly awaiting a tirade from Robyn. But instead, she chuckles softly and tells Stephanie she got her good. She then gives her some advice.
“Next time, instead of making up nonsense to my cuz and her friends, maybe you should focus on your own wardrobe problems. No offense, but your midriff looks like it's going to burst in a great explosion and there's no way we can afford getting fired on the second day.”
Stephanie begins to panic and frantically asks Robyn what to do. They both turn to Cassandra for the answer and she says she can give Stephanie the outfit she had planned to give Robyn beforehand and let her wear it for tomorrow. Stephanie agrees to it, causing Robyn to breathe a sigh of relief. A few minutes pass and Stephanie comes out wearing the attire, receiving rave reviews for her look. Stacy and John commend Cassandra and Robyn for their unique way of dealing with her fashion problem calling it a regular ‘Fa-Sass'.
Robyn hears the word and expects everyone to laugh at her, but instead Peyton and Summer compliment the name and call them a great team. Feeling better about herself, Robyn shakes Cassandra's hand, celebrating a job well done. Robyn beams a large smile that fits perfectly well with the school yearbook.
