What are the groups and what functions do they serve? Are there negative influences from any of the groups (dysfunctions)? There is Freak group- They like to do a lot of illegal and rebellious things
There is the Geek group-  No negative influences.

Who has power in the episode? How or why do they have power? How do they use it?  People kind of wanna be like them. They use it negatively.

What are the important symbols in the episode? Note that the symbols might be an object, but also might be an idea, an event or something else. How do the characters act based on the symbols they find important? This is symbolic interactionism. You can connect it to Max Weber.
Lyndsey rebels from her parents and hangs out with the “Freaks”. She disagrees with how some people lives so decides to live the way she wants too.
Can you relate any of these theories to your own life? How can the things you do be interpreted through one of these theories? For example why do you wear what you wear or why are you going to college or why do you stress yourself out to get "good" grades?

Yes. Everything you do shows how you live your life and how you look at life.
