They even changed the school's mascot from "The Blue Devil" to "The woodchucks". Marianne was the one to come up with that idea because she thought the mascot made the school seem like Satan Worshipers. Marianne hears Olive talking to Rhiannon (Olive's friend) about how she had sex with a guy named George. Without knowing that Olive had just lied Marianne spreads the rumor around at school, making everyone thinking Olive is a slut. Olive confronts Marianne but she says that there is a "higher power" that will judge Olive. Later she has a meeting with her club where she talks about Olive being a problem amd that she has to save her. She says that it's so hard to follow Jesus words about loving everyone, even the prostitutes and homosexuals because they keep doing "it" over and over again. After that Olive sees Marianne crying and goes to comfort her. Marianne and Olive then becomes "friends" cause Marianne thought she had finally come through to Olive. Their friendship doesn't last long though, because Micah lies to his mom that he got clamydia from Olive Penderghast, which Marianne gets furious about. Believing that Olive gave Micah clamydia Marianne collects her club and Rhiannon together and then protest about getting Olive expelled. In the end Marianne learns that all of the rumors surrounding Olive isn't true. She then gives up on trying to "save" Olive.
