The Paper / int_14c791fb | comment |
Conflicting Loyalty: Although he professes to still be friends with Amanda and promises not to let newspaper drama come between them, Alex sides with Giana, Trevor, Adam, and Dan against her more often than not. Adam is the likeliest of this group to be openly friendly to Amanda and criticize his own faction when they deserve it. | |

Hypocrite Has a Point: Trevor correctly points out that while everyone else is tearing their hair out over a last-minute layout dispute, Amanda doesn't bother stepping in to make an executive decision, even though she has the authority to do so. That said, Trevor himself doesn't contribute much either, despite being the layout editor. | |

Bad Boss | |
The Paper / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Many newspaper staff members view Amanda this way, predicting that she'll be dictatorial and dismissive. She does show some signs of poor leadership during her first few weeks on the job, but it's quite the opposite of what everyone feared: She fails to make necessary executive decisions and spends most of her time focused on her own byline. But she works hard to improve and ends up saving the entire next issue from a critical vice-principal. | |

Mass "Oh, Crap!": The staff works into the evening to complete the first issue of the year. They're just about done when they realize that none of them know how to prepare the final PDF for printing. Alex ends up phoning last year's editor in chief to get instructions. One of the school's vice-principals has the job of reviewing all current issues of the paper just before they go to print. She disputes some conclusions presented in a lead story, which everyone immediately realizes could upend all the work they've done on the entire issue. Amanda and Alix, who wrote the story, defend its integrity and end up saving the day. | |

Trust-Building Blunder: Amanda hosts an ice cream social at her house for the entire staff.

Mrs. Weiss brings the staff to a ropes course for a team-building exercise, which nearly falls apart when Alex and Trevor get into a screaming match. They do patch things up and complete the course—although its overall success is questionable, given that neither Amanda nor Giana was present. | |

Running Away to Cry | |
The Paper / int_c2137007 | comment |
Running Away to Cry: Cassia is so distressed by the other editors' animosity toward Amanda that she has to cry in the bathroom over it. In the same episode, Adam does this after his epic rant about the staff drama, only much more loudly and in the stairwell. | |

The Paper / int_c25f013 | comment |
Reconcile the Bitter Foes: Mrs. Weiss attempts to clear the air between Amanda and the other editors at a staff meeting. Unfortunately, Adam is the only one to admit to the lingering bitterness over Amanda becoming editor-in-chief, while Alex remains silent, Giana denies everything, and Trevor walks away ranting about Amanda. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
The Paper / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The theme of the show, basically. The cast still has to work together to keep the newspaper running, even if they often get distracted by their personal hangups. | |

Ambitious, but Lazy | |
The Paper / int_d96ab695 | comment |
Ambitious, but Lazy: Amanda remarks that Giana "usually doesn't do anything" while everyone else is hard at work on the paper. Indeed, she waits until the last possible minute to write her editor-in-chief application essay. | |

I'm Standing Right Here | |
The Paper / int_d9fe8277 | comment |
I'm Standing Right Here: The show features several instances of cast members openly criticizing or mocking Amanda when she can hear them. Among these: Alex calls a strep-throat-stricken Amanda from a restaurant where he and some of the others are dining. She hears Trevor loudly remarking how much better a time they're having without her. In the same episode, Trevor gives a talking head interview in which he vows not to "have anything to do with" Amanda while she's sitting two desks away. After Amanda calls Alex into the hallway for a tense private conference, he returns to the classroom to brag to his friends about how he nodded along with her without taking her seriously. | |

Unsportsmanlike Gloating: Amanda lets out a happy scream when she sees her new title posted to the doorway of the newspaper room. Nobody else present seems all that pleased to hear it. Alex gets a lot of praise for his first-issue front cover, which prompts him to boast "I'm good at newspaper" and "Don't you wish you could be like me?" | |

With Us or Against Us: Giana tells Alex to "just pick a side": Either he really is friends with Amanda and supports her as editor-in-chief, or he opposes her leadership and is prepared to jettison their friendship on those grounds. He chooses the latter. | |
