Finally, Margo arrives, and she makes quite an entrance. She's been made over: stylish new glasses, a new hairstyle and a whole new attitude. She looks fantastic! There's just one problem: Margo isn't Margo. She's a different person, and only Delta seems to realize it.

As Delta frantically tries to convince her friends that this Margo is a fake, she finds herself locked in a battle of wits with the imposter. Delta knows that something terrible has happened to the real Margo, and she desperately needs to outsmart the new Margo in order to keep the same thing from happening to her.

Get ready for a jaw-dropper of an ending!
