Synopsis: At Hargrove University on Halloween
night, Arielle Agbayani has a plan to deal with her friend Maribeth’s problem—she
was assaulted by Elliot Carmichael, a rich kid whose family makes sure he never
has to pay for his misdeeds. Arielle dons a Captain America-inspired costume
and heads to the party at Elliot’s frat house. She sneaks into his room where
she recovers Maribeth’s stolen phone and spots Elliot’s as well. Elliot catches
her and attacks her with a lacrosse stick; she knees him in the groin and
flees. He calls to his friends to stop the girl dressed like Captain America
and then discovers that all of Maribeth’s friend are wearing Cap-related
costumes. Arielle reports to Maribeth that she was successful and plans to post
the incriminating evidence from the phones on the news. The friends celebrate.
