The Prime Video prequel series Elle includes multiple nods to the 1985 film The Breakfast Club in season 1 episode 6. The episode features detention scenes and character archetypes drawn from the John Hughes movie.
In the episode, Elle Woods notices a missing stop sign at a dangerous intersection and starts a petition. She and her friends end up in detention after uncovering evidence of misused school funds.
Each student in detention matches an archetype from The Breakfast Club. The group works together to access the principal's office, including an air-vent sequence and a closing scene with a Simple Minds song.
The series stars Lexi Minetree as Elle Woods. It follows the character in her teenage years in Seattle before the events of Legally Blonde.
