[edit] Episodes
|01-02 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.

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.
|04 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!
|05 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.
|06 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.
|07 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.
|08 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.
|09-10 Sixteen Part One and Two: 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.

|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 a.k.a Season Finale: Caitlin is devastated when Ms Avery is reassigned to be a roving teacher and decides she'd rather quit teaching altogether.
