Season 1 Episode 8
“Push Comes to Shove”
Cash is being bullied by Andrew Collins, a popular guy at school. Reba insists he stand up for himself. Upon learning that June wants to play the clarinet, but can’t because the school’s music program is to be dropped due to cutbacks, Reba joins the school’s music fundraising committee and goes the meeting with Kim. At the meeting, June tells Reba that she thought Reba was there for Cash. Reba and Kim then find Cash nearby and learn from the principal that Cash shoved Andrew Collins. The principal says this is “pure violence” and Cash now has one strike in his school record. Reba tries to defend Cash, who was just defending himself by pushing Andrew. The principal still deems it as violence and says Cash should’ve reported that he was bullied. The exchange gets heated and Cash must pull Reba away. An unexpected fallout from the incident is that a girl now likes Cash, and views him as a tough guy. Cash plays it up to its fullest, until a much larger classmate makes him back down. At home, Kim tells Reba that she is not wanted at the committee anymore, due to the altercation with the principal. Reba then makes some cookies for the committee to get back in their good graces, deciding it would be a great fundraising idea. Lillie Mae learns Reba used her “special butter” (containing marijuana), as Geoffrey is dizzy and acting odd after eating a cookie. She warns Reba, who takes everybody’s cookies away from them. This makes Reba look bad to everyone, but she tricks them into feeling sorry for her.
