When Farkle and Riley dislike what their school yearbook says about them, they decide to change their personalities because they believe students are making fun of their quirky personalities.

Black after she notices in the yearbook that she is nominated as someone who would smile themselves to death. Riley's change deeply affects Maya, who in turn seeks to become her best friend and emulate her. Lucas is not pleased about these changes in his friends, who are letting what others say affect them, and he wants them to change back. Lucas and Maya are voted favorite couple by their classmates, much to their confusion. It is learned here that the entirety of their class views the two as boyfriend and girlfriend, claiming Lucas and Maya are like fire together. Lucas and Maya, however, don't know where the idea came from. Cory's history lesson about Iceland and Greenland, and how people settled in Greenland because of its name, then perished, serves as a reminder to the class not to be misguided by what others say.

She gathers the girls into her bedroom to discuss why this is happening, and makes them realize they are not seeing their potential.
