One day while walking down a school hallway, the lights go out and someone starts running after her. She runs into a lit hallway screaming. She later starts to think her understudy – Monica – who wanted to play the lead is the one frightening her.
As she’s being driven home one night, she sees a girl standing on the side of the street, and it’s an exact look-alike of her. She doesn’t pay much attention to it. Apparently, she has problems going up the elevator because she tends to freak out. After she gets home, her mom goes out with “the girls.” However, her mom goes into a car in the back alley and proceeds to have sex (no nudity shown) with a guy. Bad mom! Shocker: Faye’s doppelganger is right up to the car looking inside.
The next day, Faye tells bad mom about her look-alike being seen all over. Bad mom confesses that Faye had a twin who died years ago. Faye starts getting visions. One of the visions is that her acting teacher is also the guy who was having an affair with bad mom. Bad teacher! Faye gets into a fight with Monica because she think Monica is the one impersonating her. Faye tells bad mom she knows about the affair, and she wants bad mom to break up with bad teacher.
