This week, we deal with the aftermath of a painful and shocking event that rocked Sweet Valley.

Molly, our titular outcast, is being blamed and finds comfort with a shady drug dealer who’s on the lam and who—you guessed it—has a knife.

Will our friends come to their senses and take action to help Molly? Or will they be forever trapped in a Hamletine paralysis?

We’ll deal with grief, fundraising, and Shakespeare in “To Be Being or To Be Not Exactly Being” (Sweet Valley High #41, Outcast).
