Class Election, Part 1

Class Election, Part 1 is the twelfth episode of the first season of Fred: The Show.

Synopsis
Fred decides to run against Kevin in the class election and enlists the help of his new friend and campaign manager, Starr. But soon, the elections get dirty with negative attacks.

Plot
The episode begins with Fred being constantly and rudely bumped into at school, which irritates him. He then bumps into a girl named Starr, who's been having a similar experience and singing her own frustrations about it. Due to their shared sentiments on rude people at school and appearing to generally be on a similar wavelength, they introduce themselves to each other and decide to become friends.

They freak each other out after talking at the same time for too long and run away from one another, leading Fred to run into Kevin as he and Diesel were putting up posters. He learns that Kevin's running for class president with Diesel as his campaign manager.

Kevin's campaign speech is initially boring to most of the students. However, when Fred and Starr begin making fun of it, he starts to direct his campaign promises more towards ostracizing Fred and treating him like the school's servant, much to the delight of the other students.

To counter against the "anti-Fredgenda," Starr suggests to Fred that he should run against Kevin and offers to be his campaign manager, to which Fred agrees. He ends up messing up his index cards on the day of his campaign speech, and the other students laugh at his jumbled speech and his unusual costume much to the chagrin of Starr. Fred goes on to do a performance ending in a flip, only for it to be ruined by Kevin getting Diesel to drop a banana peel on the floor-- just in time for Fred to slip on it.

Kevin ends up doing way better on the polls, and Fred suggests to Starr that they should start fighting dirty (vandalizing posters, running attack ads, etc.) just like Kevin. Starr protests against it, saying she would rather lose fair than win ugly, however Fred remains adamant. As a result, she quits as his campaign manager and decides to run against the both of them.

On the day of the debate between the candidates, Starr wins over the students with her singing ability and appears to now be leading the race.

The episode ends with Fred and Kevin discovering that she was also bribing the students with money to vote for her.
