When a comet flies over San Fran, Eddie seems to have been stricken with the same psychic powers Raven has. Though his two friends discourage him, Eddie uses his power to see into the future to gain superficial popularity in the school, trying to get the attention of one girl in particular (Hayley Duff, Hilary’s older sister, playing a part very similar to her role in the excellent movie Napoleon Dynamite). When the comet leaves earth, Eddie loses his visions, and soon gets into trouble with a bully who was depending on the teen’s abilities for gambling. Raven and Chelsea save Eddie from being beat up, though, when they dress up as ‘70s funk-talking undercover cops who “inspect marshmallows” (again, rolls eyes).

With the Disney job, she was pleased to be working once again on such a positive, multicultural series. "I just want to represent my people well," she told Essence journalist Heather Keets Wright.
