We head to Chase U. Kelani Jordan and Fallon Henley are presented with honorary degrees from Chase University. Jacey Jayne ruins the special moment. She came to ask the professor if he will reveal why Chase U was in such trouble to begin with and that was all Thea Hail’s fault. Jayne says it because Chase bet on Hail’s match at the Great American Bash against Tiffany Stratton but he threw the towel in because he cared more about Hail than Chase U.
