Andrea persuades Brandon to run for class president. Kelly seizes control of the campaign and encourages Brandon to capitalize on his looks and image. She even agrees to a date with David in exchange for his help producing a campaign video. Brandon decides that he isn't the best man for the job after talking with his bright and dedicated opponent. Brenda, feeling neglected by family and friends, begins hanging out at a coffeehouse. Sky, a performance artist, convinces Brenda to drop out of high school and get her GED so that she can "experience life." Brenda moves out of the Walsh house to apartment-sit for Sky. She learns that life as an artist is not as romantic as it seems, as Sky's utilities are turned off and her furniture is repossessed. Music: "Hippychick" by Soho

An overall watchable, though not particularly memorable, episode. Brenda's "comedy" is painfully unfunny.
(Her outfits, on the other hand -- particularly as enhanced by such classic songs as "Hippychick" in the non-DVD version -- are quite amusing. I think the even-more-classic "Betty Boo, just doin' the do..." was also one of this episode's original songs!)
