With ten main characters to follow, each with their own point of view (and ways of expressing it on social media), the storylines of Credo will ebb and flow with the natural dramas of high school life.

Just as often as we watch characters’ lives intersecting, coupling and clashing, other characters arcs will stray off on tangents unrelated to a larger story, simply providing their friends and the audience with entertainment for entertainment’s sake.

Here are  just a few of the hundreds of dramas, both massive and minute, that will fill the lives of the Credo class.

Sander’s ongoing flirtation with Imani turns sour when she’s caught on someone’s TikTok videos holding hands with an upperclassman.

So he gets drunk for the first time with David, kisses Harmoni, but doesn’t remember it. She does.

This sets off a series of YouTube videos, tweets, TikToks and Instagram stories from everyone involved documenting their anger, resentment, and sadness over broken hearts and betrayal.

Someone finds the notebook Sander keeps for his therapist, in which he confesses his insatiable masturbation habit.

After initially being embarrassed (and talking his mom down from getting the student who did it expelled) he embraces the whole thing, discussing techniques on Twitter, and, with the help of Joffery, making a video and song called “Spankin’ Mr. Franklin.”

After what feels like years of trying to ignore the comments being left on her Instagram pictures, she gets inspired by Credo’s discussion of Neitzshe’s concepts of stoicism and of accepting fate and decides she can’t ignore them any longer.

So she starts posting separate photos on her Instagram feed containing some of the worst insults she’s gotten, along with the names of the people who wrote them.

Grace’s secret TikTok account is discovered by David. On it, she films herself in a swimsuit and a mask, violently destroying things with a sledgehammer. She denies it at first but then owns up to it.

It leads to a breakdown in Credo where Grace confesses that her perfect life needs an outlet of imperfection, that she needs a secret life of ugliness to maintain her sense of control. 

Erin posts a dance called “Slut” in which she dresses in an outfit and wig that closely resembles Harmoni. This comes on the heels of Harmoni singing on a slow, sultry song that Joffery wrote.

This causes Joffery to reevaluate his relationship with both Erin (is she just using him?), as well as Harmoni (is she the one who truly gets him?)

Erin films herself lip-synching along to a song by Megan Thee Stallion that includes the N word. Needless to say, shit blows up.

Melange brings it up in Credo as not just offensive, but as yet another form of cultural appropriation. Her main argument: why can’t white people just leave black culture alone without trying to steal it, water it down, and then overuse and oversimplify it to the point where it loses any power. To top it all off, it all turns personal when Melange infers that Erin is stealing and watering down her boyfriend Joffery as well.

One day, Joffery discovers that some of the instrumental tracks he’s posted to SoundCloud have been remixed to add lyrics that are both romantic, funny, and uniquely personal.

While it’s obvious that this is someone at Cabot Lodge, (and that this person is female) he can’t pin down who it is exactly.

 After Melange calls out Joffery for not embracing his blackness, and selling out to people like Erin, she challenges him to “do something for the cause.”

Inspired by his father’s time in prison for a low level drug offense, he decides to embark on something he calls “Funky Drummer For Incarcerated Brothers” on Instagram Live, repeating the drum beat from James Brown’s “Funky Drummer” the same number of times as there are black men in federal prison.

While discussing Freud’s Id, Ego, and Super-Ego in Credo class, the normally quiet Timothy’s reveals the existence of his somewhat secret Tumblr blog, Last One Pic’d.

In it, he explores the complexities of coming to terms with his own sexuality, and how accepting it goes against every survival instinct, and yet not accepting it is a betrayal to his true self. Needless to say, he is immediately both embraced by some while also becoming a target for bullies.

As Credo class debates whether there is a universal right and wrong that can be agreed on, Timothy decides to try to engage all the cyberbullies he faces on his social media platforms by just agreeing with them. Only one can be right, so why not them?

By agreeing that he’s a freak, that he should kill himself, that he is going to hell, he ends up opening up a dialogue, changing some minds, while simultaneously realizing the world is seriously f’d up. 

Holly writes a short story for an English class about the fragile and fraught beginnings of a first love.

It falls into the hands of Erin, who posts it on her FB page, thinking it's beautiful.

But it has the opposite effect, with people making fun of Holly, and speculating who it's about.

Amused and fascinated by the Credo discussion of Freud and his book “Interpretation of Dreams,” Melange teams with Holly to create Lego versions of the book’s dream interpretations on Instagram, along with new, more current dreams, including some that may involve other members of the class.

After reading Ayn Rand, Rhys realizes he’s not an asshole, he is an Objectivist, with his own happiness being the moral purpose of his life.

So for a Credo assignment, he photo-documents “A Week in The Life of An Objectivist” for Instagram, doing all the things that make him happy.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world doesn’t conform to the same rules, and so the week isn’t as glorious as he envisioned. 

Rhys compiles a collection of his poems and short stories to self-publish a book on Amazon.

Not only does it get some good press and attract positive reviews from “real” authors, it also includes a few pieces that piss off certain members of his Credo class, inspiring claims of racism, class-ism, and just plain jealousy.

As part of Credo’s discussion of the Nature of Man, Harmoni uses a GoPro camera to capture the true nature of man in the form of men harassing her as she walks down the street then posting it to TikTok.

She vows to continue the experiment until she can walk for 10 minutes without hearing anything terrible.

Needless to say, this doesn’t happen anytime soon. 

To say that Harmoni is advanced for her age, both physically and sexually, is an understatement. Having experienced the underbelly of being such a sexual magnet, she wants to pass along her knowledge, and warnings, to girls just entering puberty.

She does so through a Twitter account called “Facts4FutureFoxes,” which is a modern, no nonsense advice column about everything from periods to dealing with boys obsessed with porn.

After realizing that some of his football teammates have been bullying Timothy, calling him faggot and filling his locker with dildos, he partners with a couple like-minded jocks to start holding hands with each other around campus.

Pretty soon, a huge number of dudes around campus are walking around, holding hands, posting pictures of themselves on Instagram with the hashtag, #sofuckingwhat.

For the big Shuttlesworth Spring Formal dance, David decides he wants to invite a celebrity.

So he uses the voting feature on IG Stories to narrow down the field down to… Sharon Stone.

When his campaign to get her to go with him picks up some attention on social media, he’s left the night of the dance waiting. Will she come?

Melange writes and stars in an adaptation of the play “The Crucible” that re-envisions the witches as Black Lives Matter activists. 

Somehow a reporter from the NY Post catches wind of it, and then conservative media starts calling it out as reverse racist, sparking a month-long focus in Credo about race in the US.

Timothy and MeLange decide to pair up to create a Choose Your Own Adventure story on Instagram Stories to showcase what different races have to deal with during their everyday lives.

Timothy draws the story while MeLange creates the stories based on where people vote for the story to go next.

BUT THEN...
