Season Four

The fourth season of Moriah Blake saw the return of the main characters to school after summer vacation. Much of the season focused on preparations being made for the Variety Show of 2012. The season ended with the departure of three major characters.

Storylines
• In the end of Season Three, Principal Johns presented his ideas for improving Moriah Blake as a school. Early on in Season Four, it is revealed that some of his ideas had put the school dangerously overbudget. Principal Johns and Bradford presented their situation to the school board, and gained some sympathy, but were still in a dire situation. Johns finally had the idea to put on a variety show after Christmas vacation. This idea was put into action, and the event finally occurred in the season finale. At the very end, it is revealed that the variety show barely broke even, and the school is going to be shut down.

• Season Four begins with Scott departing from his suit-wearing "rich guy" ways and turning his back on who he considered his friends. This was a reaction to the depression he felt in the Season Three finale. However, in Green Light, Scott attends a school-funded screening of The Great Gatsby, after which he begins wearing suits again and reintegrates himself into his friend group.

• Over the course of the season, Emily Greene is dumped by Scott, and eventually becomes depressed. She tries to patch up her friendship with Irene, but is refused. She relapses with Scott, but very soon afterwards, leaves Olympia permanently. She is not seen again until Season Eight.

• Austin Pratt—who is dating Ashley—slowly becomes creepier and creepier, and Ashley begins disliking his company. Finally, in American Pie, he attempts to rape her, but is attacked by Dave. This leads to his incarceration and Ashley's eventual move to California.

• In Last Sail of the Season, it is revealed that Patrick's mother is completely broke, and will be sending her daughter Patricia—Patrick's twin—to live in Olympia.
