Ep 6. Smell of Victory

Raven Baxter is back for another adventure in the sixth episode of the hit show That's So Raven season 1. In this episode titled "Smell of Victory," Raven finds herself desperate to impress the boy that she likes, Devon. However, when Raven finds out that Devon is a fan of classic movies, she suddenly realizes that she knows nothing about them. To make matters worse, she overhears from Devon's friends that he is planning to attend a classic movie festival with them over the weekend.

Determined to impress Devon, Raven sets out to learn as much as she can about classic films. She spends hours in front of the TV, watching all kinds of movies. She even enlists the help of her best friend Chelsea and her family, who are also big film enthusiasts. However, when Devon quizzes Raven on her newfound knowledge, she fails miserably. Raven is left feeling humiliated and disappointed, but she refuses to give up.

As Raven keeps trying to impress Devon, she stumbles upon a new scent at her father's store, which she believes will win over Devon's heart. Raven becomes convinced that the smell of the new fragrance is the secret weapon that will make Devon fall for her. Determined to get her hands on the perfume, Raven takes on a job at the store to work towards buying it.

However, things don't go as planned for Raven. As she begins working at the store, she realizes she is in over her head. The job proves to be challengingly exhausting, leaving her smelling like products from the store. The scent from her job is overpowering, making it impossible to know whether the fragrance she thinks will please Devon is favorable. Meanwhile, Raven's best friend Chelsea, who is also working at the store, lands herself the starring role in the store's new fragrance campaign. Raven watches with envy as Chelsea's commercials keep boosting sales for the company.

As Raven continues to work at the store, hoping to earn enough money to buy the fragrance that will help her win over Devon, her father becomes increasingly worried about her working long hours and taking on too much responsibility while also trying to keep up with school. Her father encourages her to put her school before anything else, but Raven is too focused on impressing Devon and getting her hands on the perfume that she ignores her father's advice. Raven begins to get frustrated after losing hours of her precious time at the store, failing to please Devon with classic film knowledge or purchase the fragrance.

As the weekend approaches, Raven is desperate to find a way to impress Devon, so she comes up with a new plan. Raven decides to attend the classic movie festival with her friends, pretending to be an expert on the genre. However, things don't go as expected when Raven and her friends realize that the movies they're pretending to know about weren't available to watch. The group squanders time trying to learn about the movies, but they remained uninformed. Raven overhears Devon and his friend at the festival discussing how disappointed they were with the movies and how they should have just stayed in watching other movies.

Feeling defeated, Raven returns to the store to pick up her paycheck, where she tumbles upon a plan that will not only help her to impress Devon but also save the store from faltering sales. Raven manages to come up with a new idea that advertises the actual product rather than a fake campaign strategy. Raven's plan and work promote the brand in the expected way, and with Chelsea's support, the scent becomes the new sensation in town.

After successfully promoting the actual fragrance, Raven meets Devon and tells him the truth about her lack of expertise and her determination to impress him. Although Devon is impressed with her drive, he also lets her down gently, telling her that he already appreciates her for who she is. Raven, feeling proud of herself and relieved, is content with Devon's response and decides to enjoy the classic movie festival with her friends.

In conclusion, the sixth episode of That's So Raven is a light-hearted and entertaining story about first love, the importance of family, and the drive to better oneself. The show is filled with hilarious moments that both kids and adults will enjoy. The episode highlights the significance of one's character and shows how it's more important than pretending to be someone else to gain someone's affection. Overall, the episode is a fun and heartwarming addition to the first season of That's So Raven.
