Finally got to this story.

Another wonderful leap from the pen of MJ.

I haven't seen Grease 2, but it didn't matter. I knew enough from Grease to get the Pink Lady refs etc. and the story lost nothing from any gaps in my knowledge.

I could really see the scenes with Sam as Michael showing all the right moves on the bike. As usual, it was very visually written. A tense and exciting read.
 
I kind of liked it. But I felt it was kind of lacking and off-course in some areas.

I've seen "Grease 2" and it's a very good movie. So, I honestly have to say that the author could have written the story the way that it is, but should have had the elements from the movie in it:

I.E. Rydell High School is in California, some of the scenes in the story were out of order according to the movie.

Too much to explain here, but I do commend the author for trying to give "Grease 2" fans a new perspective on their favorite movie.

Rating: 2
 
This was an action-filled episode, and Sam certainly had his work cut out for him in this leap. Great job! I'm looking forward to the season finale.
