High School Musical: The Musical: The Series S03E05 - There are a lot of secrets floating around

After EJ agrees to create more drama for the documentary, Carlos comes up with a plan to give juice the director wants. Each one in the cast is assigned an alter ego for them to improvise and create conflicts in the rehearsal. To impress Channing, they have to slap, cry and be judgy in front of the camera. At the end of the day, Channing is satisfied with their performance. However, the fictional conflicts have turned into real ones. Maddox starts yelling at Jet complaining what he did to her back then. This is when the cast finds out they are siblings not lovers. Jet runs away from Maddox again. Ricky later asks him to express his feelings through songs if he can't find the right words. Maddox thought Ashlyn had feelings for Val like she did before, but Ashlyn tells her that she has a boyfriend. Carlos asks Kourtney to be less anxious, but she thought Gina exposed her anxiety issues with others, so she freaks out. Gina has been mad at EJ ever since she finds out that he confided in Val but kept things from her. EJ has been jealous about Gina bonded with Ricky. When Gina and Ricky sing a duet in the rehearsal, it seems they are really lovers. Ricky later admits to Carlos that he started catching feeling for Gina. The conversation has been recorded secretly by Channing.

Dramas are juicy, but when there's an excess of them, the situation may become out of control.
