Speaking of deception, what's the deal with REACH? Dawn Steiger has already joined the group, which promises to work for peace and understanding, but Nancy suspects REACH has a different goal and she's out to get the story.

Stephanie has her hands full, too, trying to get her father's attention. Money can't buy love, but who knows what a credit card can do? Nancy, meanwhile, has found a cause-- animal rights-- and a cause for concern. But the movement may be headed in the wrong direction, leading Nancy into a trap!
