1/2.
A New Start
When Erica misses her period after a summer fling, she fears
she may be pregnant. She doesn't want to have a baby, but she
is opposed to abortion. This hour long special explores what
happens when a teenager's code of ethics comes into conflict
with a practical reality. Meanwhile, Joey meets his old nemesis,
Dwayne, who decides to bring back outlawed initiation - especially
for Joey, Snake and Wheels. Simon's new-found celebrity as poster-boy
for Dude Jeans causes trouble for his girlfriend Alexa.
3. Breaking up is Hard to Do
When Michelle's parents split up, she is forced to choose between
them - but neither choice seems right. B.L.T. is the only one
she has to turn to, but her father forbids her to see him.
Someone has begun a hate campaign against Erica. The Zits (formerly
the Zit Remedy) enlist Lucy's help to make a rock video - but
Lucy has her own ideas about how it should be made.
4. Dream On
Arthur develops a huge crush on Caitlin - and it looks like he
might even have a chance, since she doesn't seem to be all
that close to Joey any more. He dreams of romance and candlelight
dinners - how come he always gets interrupted just when he
gets to the good part? It looks like it might finally be Kathleen's
turn for romance, too. And the guy's in at least Grade eleven!
5. Everybody Wants Something
Lucy finally agrees to shoot The Zits' video - if they can all
agree on a script, persuade Clutch to lend them his car, coax
Lucy into shooting it with Clutch around… Life is almost
perfect for Joey - he'll deal with the small problem of Caitlin
just as soon as the video's done. The hate campaign against
Erica escalates, and Erica is determined to find out who is
putting pamphlets and slogans on her locker.
6. Nobody's Perfect
Kathleen's dreams are coming true. Scott is the perfect boyfriend
- considerate, affectionate, even gives her flowers. She can
forgive him if he's kind of hot tempered - he's got a lot of
troubles at home, and really, she deserves it when he gets
upset with her. Liz encourages Spike to go out with a boy for
the first time since Emma was born, and she's so nervous she
almost blows it.
7. Just Friends
Heather thinks Wheels is really cute, and figures if she throws
a party, gets the lights low, and Wheels alone, everything
will fall into place. Melanie, Kathleen and Diana welcome Maya
into their gang, but when they decide to go to a movie, they're
pretty sure Maya won't mind if she's not invited, since they
don't think her wheelchair can get into the theatre. Lucy visits
L.D. in hospital where she is undergoing tests.
8. Little White Lies
Diana is determined to grow up, but her older brother, left with
the task of bringing her up after their father died, is so
old-fashioned. And Yick, the object of her affections, is going
to be at Melanie's party. How will Diana's brother ever know
she went? Joey, Snake and Wheels decide it's time they expanded
their horizons a little and attend a strip show. But, as always
with The Zits, things don't go quite the way they were planned.
9/10. Sixteen
Michelle finds her father impossible to live with, but now that
she's sixteen she can legally move out, if only she had the
money. Of course, there is that family ring she got for her
birthday. Spike is nervous about how fond Patrick is becoming
of her - she just doesn't want to get hurt. Joey and Snake
are excited about starting driving lessons.
11. All in Good Cause
Caitlin and Claude want to do something to protest against a
factory involved in nuclear missiles. The peace group they
belong to advises them to cool it, but they can't just stand
by and let it go on. The Grade Nine classes are competing to
raise money for Unicef, but the way it's going, it looks like
Arthur, Yick and the gang are going to lose and have to be
the slaves of 9B for a week. Arthur's got enough trouble now
battling the image of a nerd without being a slave too.
12. Natural Attractions
When Erica starts seeing a new boy, it frightens Heather. One
abortion was bad enough, but what if she goes too far again?
Heather has to come to terms with her own guilt at having supported
Erica. Alison says she's giving up on her campaign to win Snake,
but when he invites Alison's best friend Amy to the dance,
the claws come out. Scooter suddenly notices that his pal Tessa
is (gasp!) a girl!
13. Testing 1...2...3
Joey's school problems have not let up, and now that he's in
high school, he's finding it more difficult than ever to keep
up. The tests indicate a learning disability, and Joey figures
if he's going to be some kind of moron, he might as well drop
out. Caitlin is terrified about her upcoming court appearance,
and Claude is no help at all. Yankou gets hold of last year's
science exam.
14. It Creeps!
Lucy becomes director and writer of her first film: a feminist
horror flick starring the Zits, Simon and Caitlin, with Alexa,
Tim and Heather as crew. But the film that's playing in Lucy's
mind is a far cry from the one that's unfolding in the empty
Saturday morning corridors of the school. Spike is nervous
when Shane starts hanging around the school watching her.
15. Stressed Out
Caitlin is devastated when Ms Avery is reassigned to be a roving
teacher and decides she'd rather quit teaching altogether.
Michelle, determined to prove to her father that she can cope
on her own, working and going to school, starts taking caffeine
pills to extend her study time. Snake is suffering from a mysterious
ailment that won't seem to go away. |
