David is the new kid at school, and it doesn't take him long to find his enemy, Chase, a popular, handsome kid on the school's rugby team. Each character sees the other as the antithesis of themselves, but the school is way too small to keep these characters apart forever. Through shared secrets and long hours spent together in detention, David and Chase discover that they can help each other succeed in the upside-down adventure that is high school. With the help of lively musical numbers, the characters soon discover more romantic feelings for one another. But, with secrets leaking out and life going in separate ways, this love story may not be able to hold on forever. This is the wholesome, heart-throbbing, fun-loving musical adventure you won't want to miss. The Chavid Situation: High School is a Total Circus.

Episode 2: Character Development with Veronica Urubio
Belén isn't your average, everyday hero—she's an employee trying to get to her normal job while stuck in traffic. That is, if you consider a graveyard shift as a concierge at a hotel from the 1850s "normal". Join today's episode to follow her character development over the course of a highway car crash, an impromptu hostage situation, and an all-out shootout that makes for a not-so-average situation. Oh, yeah! Did we mention the ghosts?
