Lifetime's My Daughter's Psycho Friend

Here's the synopsis from the Lifetime's website: When Sierra moves to Los Angeles with her family and goes to a new school, she encounters the devious and psychotic Lexi and her posse of friends. Soon afterwards at a party, a teenager dies as a result of a Lexi prank. When Lexi tries to frame Sierra for the kid’s death, Sierra fights back, putting her own life in danger. Taylor Blackwell, Avery Pohl, Cerina Vincent star. (2020).

Lexi's pranks are downright devious and  manipulative. They are not your everyday garden variety pranks; they can get you in major trouble. One time she send the police to where Sierra lives now but a boy named Scotty  used to lived. It was a swatting,  but he and his parents were terrified so they moved. Kaitlyn and Lexi thought it was funny, but it terrified Scotty's family.

When Sierra is with the girls at a party at Lexi's for the first time, she sees them put some kind of drug in their classmate's beer but didn't know what was going on. She is only invited to the party because she and Kaitlyn are new neighbors.Then the drugged classmate walks straight into the swimming pool and drowns. All Lexi could do is think of  covering her tracks, not of the boy. /She shows no empathy for the dead kid. But Kaitlyn is saying that they murder a kid. But then  Lexi said Kaitlyn could've stopped her. Her mother found out she is having a party. Lexi and her mother--they don't respect each other. Police do the usual questioning and such. Lexi's mother said she doesn't want any responsibility for her actions.  Afterwards there is a little fight in the hall at school over the death at the party but Lance ended by rescuing Sierra. Lance is Sierra's potential bf and the dead kid's friend. There is a fire alarm set off (prob'ly by Lexi) to plant the drug that she bought in Sierra's locker.  She is the one who tips off the school who then suspends her upon further investigation. Kaitlyn wants to make a pact with Lexi and Sierra but it turns out to be a trap. A trap to lure her out to her death. Lexi wants to kill her to shut up when she finds out that Sierra was recording her confession about drugging the other classmate. She almost did try to kill her by putting her her car and drugs her with the drug and pushes her car into the lake. But Sierra  woke up and pushes her way out of the watery grave, rescue by her parents with only a concussion. Lexi goes home and finds her mother getting ready to throw her out of the house so she throws her off the stairs. She tries to throw Kaitlyn off the stairs at school but the football team saves her. She breaks into Sierra's family's house, shoots her dad in the arm, tries to find Sierra herself but falls out the window. She is caught and sent to the slammer Meanwhile, Sierra is free of  Lexi

Actress AveryKristen Pohl did a go job as Lexi. I loathe her so much from beginning to end. The ending was super cliff-hanger-ish. It shows the queen bee of the prison ward about to pounce on Lexi. I figure she'll get a taste of her own medicine very soon because the last scene wee saw her in she had her 'neck broken. I can imagine the taunting and the hate amongst her fellow inmates.There should be a squeal or a TV show version of this movie about the underbelly of women's prison. Are there clique in prison? If so, are they the same as outside?
