This is mostly based off of the trailer. Most of this was thought of with the help of @porterrbowen who pointed things out they’d found and noticed and we made theories out of them. Major shoutout to them!!!
Okay.
We see multiple clips of the EHS kids visiting North High (NH). At first I thought Miss Jenn just brought them there to see like as some weird field trip. That was until @porterrbowen noticed something that I never caught.

Ashlyns fit! She’s wearing North High merch and is the only one of the group wearing a backpack. This completely shifted our thoughts about the whole visit. What if Ashlyn went undercover at NH as a student to sneak the others in? Cassie even theorized that maybe she’s acting as-
A student ambassador and the EHS kids are like her tour group of incoming transfers or students.
She sneaks them in and they go to NH’s theater department where they see the BATB costumes. This leads to a sub theory, we’ll call it Theory 1.1.

Theory 1.1: NHs play
I’ve thought for a while now that NH would steal EHS idea and do BATB as well as a way to outshine and outdo them. We know Miss Jens ex is competitive and he seems sneaky af. Maybe Miss Jenn told him their musical or maybe he heard from Lily.

Okay, back to Theory 1:
They see the costumes and they’re confused and shook af. Right as they make the discovery, they get caught by Lily and Antoine. Lily now goes to NH (there’s already a theory I agree with on this. Lily doesn’t get Belle, gets salty, and transfers to NH).

We get the “Hello Wildcats” scene and “Maybe you should stick to the stuff you know” which is directed at Kourt (it’s been a known theory that Kourt gets Belle and you can see her hair in the frame when Lily’s talking, cred: @JacobTh15708446 )
So Lily’s talking trash, no ones having it, and here’s where things get interesting.
Somebody proposes a sing/dance off.

I know, it sounds ridiculous and out of nowhere, but beat with me. It’s going to make sense soon.
We have Ricky going “I’m a little scared right now” with a nervous laugh. I assume the NH kids left at this point and he’s talking to the group bc they just got themselves into an-
We have Ricky going “I’m a little scared right now” with a nervous laugh. I assume the NH kids left at this point and he’s talking to the group bc they just got themselves into an-
impromptu competition. They go to the auditorium and we have Gina saying “Guys, we’re East High!” to Red and EJ as like encouragement before they have to start. Then special effects and lighting on the stage and we have the EHS kids looking amazed.
Lily goes “May the best school win.” This probs right before the comp and right after the EHSkids see how cool the stage looks.
Then we have this wide shot with the EHS kids on one side of the stage and a glimpse of Kourt on the side as the extras NH kids are dancing (all cred to @porterrbowen for seeing this). I assume after NH goes, EH goes.
We have a couple of extra scenes that can fit in different places. The hallway scene where they yell wildcats and Carlos says “We can do this.” This can be after they finish the battle and they’re talking about the overall theater comp or before they enter the theater.
We have the Gina scene where she talks about them having a dance studio. They could’ve seen that while sneaking in, walking past somewhere, or maybe Ash was telling them all the cool stuff they have at the school that she saw. Or...
Gina and EJ are missing when the EHS students first get caught by Lily. Maybe they walk in a moment later bc they were exploring, maybe that’s when Gina sees the dance studio.
The last scene that’s leaving me puzzled is the Lily and Ricky scene. We all know it’s that same day due to the outfits and we all also know Nini is there. I’m assuming it’s right before they do the comp, around the time Gina is giving the mini pep talk to Red and EJ since the-
lights are on in the theater. @_amenoacid pointed out that her lines are Frankenbitten (different clips edited together).
@porterrbowen pointed out to me that the screen is black when she says “looks like your girlfriend.” You cant see her actually say those words and the lines are choppy. Her lips don’t even move at the girlfriend part (I slowed downs the vid and increased the brightness).
What if the “your girlfriend” part isn’t even in this scene or in that specific sentence. Rini is chilling near each other for a lot of the scenes and there doesn’t seem like there’s time for a Rini fight in between any of them. And the wildcats cheer-
Seems to be at the end and they’re smiling and next to each other then. I think the Lily scene is just a misdirect to allude to Rini fighting at that time. Lily may very well still be interested in Ricky, but it doesn’t look like Rini is fighting in this ep imo.
Welp, that’s all for this theory. I’ll be making a thread of all my theories in the future. Just wanted to get this one out since it’s the most detailed and thought out one.
Note: I finished this whole thread, went back to the trailer to screenshot something and...
Nini is out here making everything confusing.
Nini is literally right there when they all see the stage. But then...

Where tf did she go??? You can see every EHS kid on the right except for her.
Side note: this is def the BATB set on NHs stage so that’s how you know they stole their musical idea. They’re probs singing a remix of a BATB song. So there must be a scene where Nini leaves.

But why does she leave/not perform? Is it bc she doesn’t know the choreo? Some underlying problem with Ricky? A personal thing (did she lose her confidence after going to YAC)?
Idk but if she legitimately left NH and Ricky is out there performing on that stage...

So this new info may mean that Lily may actually say the “looks like your girlfriend needs some space” bit. Still doesn’t mean Rini are fighting. The wildcat cheer may not be at the end if Nini actually left the school (maybes she’s backstage idk).
