During the first part of the auditions, she emerges on stage and sings a solo part in "Belle" and surprised everybody on how good her voice is. While on break, she goes up to Gina and tells her that she was amazing during the audition, Gina says the same to her, especially for someone who never did theater. Lily explained to her that she did theater before, but not "local theater". She tells Gina that they are the only real contenders in this audition for the lead in which Gina responds that her friends are talented as well. Lily sarcastically replies that she didn't know that this was a friendship circle leaving Gina annoyed. At the second part of the auditions, Lily watches the others' performances as she laughs at them and call them amateurs.

After the auditions, Carlos posted the cast list and Lily finds out that she didn't get a role, she glares at Ashlyn in jealousy and walks out. Miss Jenn then talks to her about how she got an amazing voice and tells her that the reason she didn't get a role was because of her attitude towards the others, Lily leaves in her annoyance.

As the Drama Club celebrates at Salt Lake Slices, Lily stands outside and calls North High, foreshadowing that she'll be leaving East High soon.

The Field Trip[]

Lily sees Gina and E.J. in the hallway and texted her clubmates that East High is in their school. Lily and the others found the others in their costume shop. They were accusing them of stealing their Beast mask but explained that they are a different league from East High to be stealing from them. Lily challenges them to a dance-off to a Beauty and the Beast song chosen at random. East High refused at first but later agreed after Lily provoked them by insulting Miss Jenn and Ashlyn.

Before the dance-off started, Lily talked to Ricky and "complimented" him on how he's handling his girlfriend Nini stabbing him on his back. Ricky asked her what she was talking about and Lily told him that the lyrics of Nini's Rose song sounded like she wants some space from Ricky. She then suggested that he should date her instead.

Lily walks up to the stage to choose the song at random they'll be performing and asks her clubmates to open the curtain, revealing their Beauty and the Beast set to East High. She smirks after seeing Ricky and Nini quarrel.

During the performance, Ashlyn almost fell but was caught by Antoine and decided to stop the dance-off. As East High leaves, Lily goes up to them and tell them they won the dance-off, they disagreed and insisted they'll just settle their score with them in the Menkies, telling her that they have Nini's Rose Song. Lily chuckles and reveals to them that they can't perform the song in the musical because they'll get disqualified if they do. Nini said that they should still do it and take the risk, but Carlos didn't want to take that risk and let North High win, Ricky agreed and said that maybe the song doesn't really fit in the musical. Nini walks out and the others followed as Lily looks at them leaving.
