Pearl starts to feel uncomfortable around Carly and Freddie and decides to leave to get some air. When Freddie asks where Pearl is, Carly tries to cover for her, but is forced to tell Freddie the truth that Pearl left the party. Freddie questions and Carly comes clean that she was the one who changed the theme to a murder mystery party because she knew that Freddie would hate the theme Pearl thought of.
