Strange Days at Blake Holsey High (2002)

S03E11 Friction

Vaughn confronts Corinne, telling her he spotted her on the Pearadyne security footage, chatting with his mother. When she insists she never met the woman, his suspicion boils over into anger. Meanwhile, Z lectures the science club on friction, using two metal blocks to show how intense pressure can weld surfaces together. As the meeting wraps, Corinne bolts for the door, with a distrustful Vaughn right behind her. The others notice the blocks have fused—even though they were separated. Realizing the danger, they race after the pair, but it's too late. Vaughn grabs Corinne's wrist, and they're stuck, bound together. To break free, they'll have to unite and uncover the truth about Corinne's wormhole encounter.
