Drug Festival is the 8th episode of the first season of Class Clown.

Summary: Having dealt with Maggie's abuse, Riki finally turns on her own best friend, starting with Maggie for mistreating her with hurtful comments. Meanwhile, Gabby attempts at reconciliation are hindered by drug-induced blackouts after taking acid drug.

The gang are invited to Willow's birthday party at her mansion, and every one is bored. In her own attempt to pass the time, Gabby decides to use 'magic' acid drugs, to the curiosity of Athan. As the acid start to take effect on Gabby, she begins having hallucinations and eventually have constant blackouts. Athan tries to help Gabby by staying by her side and taking care of her, but Gabby continues to perceive herself where she confronts Tanner (her former crush). Gabby eventually snaps out of the hallucinations after Athan helps him downstairs to drink some water.

Maggie and Crackerjack tries to pass the time by playing 'Truth Or Dare'. But Maggie are unable to keep herself entertained and takes her frustrations out on Riki. Having dealt with her abuse for years, Riki finally turns on her, starting with Maggie for mistreating her with hurtful comments. Tired of her outburst, Crackerjack tries to tell Riki that she is simply taking her own problems out on everyone else, but Riki brings up Crackerjack's past and tells him that he is a sinner and always attempting to make love with her. Riki also informs Crackerjack that when the party is over, she is considering never seeing him again. Crackerjack is reduced to tears and profusely apologizes to Riki. Riki then confronts Maggie who, unable to comprehend her insults, thinks that Riki's argument is amusing until she calls her a "selfish, shriveled and unkind bitch". Within moments, Crackerjack and Maggie turn their abusive criticisms on each other. Maggie then runs out of the building crying, leaving Riki and Gabby to discuss what just happened.

Despite Gabby complimenting her for standing up for herself, Riki concludes that Maggie cannot survive the world without a "scapegoat" to absorb its dysfunction, and that her enduring Maggie's antagonism helps keep them together. She then decides to apologize to Maggie and explain that she was taking her own problems out on herself, restoring Maggie's affections.
