The episode in brief

Mary Ellen, editor of Bridgewood's school newspaper, doesn't give Moesha a chance to write for the paper. So without much ado, Moesha installs a rival paper called ""The Blurb."" But she gets so wrapped up in writing her paper that she neglects plans to celebrate Andell's 30th birthday party.
