[edit] Episodes
|01 Kiss Me Steph: When Stephanie begins the new term by running for school president, her best friend Voula offers to be campaign manager. But Voula is aghast when Stephanie begins campaigning on kisses and wild promises. Meanwhile, Stephanie's kid brother, Arthur, joins forces with Yick to avoid Joey's bullying.
|02The Big Dance: Voula is sure she is old enough to go to the dance, but her old world father has other ideas. Angry, she lies to her father and slips out to the dance anyway--how will her father ever find out? But her plan goes awry when she is asked to make the speech that Stephanie, the school president, is too drunk to make.
|03 The Experiment: Yick is convinced Mr. Raditch is picking on him. With Arthur's help, he sets up an experiment, handing in as his own an old paper of Stephanie's. But the results aren't quite what they expected. When Kathleen and Melanie believe the vitamin pills Joey has sold them are really drugs, Joey finds himself in hot water.
|04 The Cover Up: Joey is fascinated by Rick, the school tough guy, but when he goes to Rick's place after school, he finds out that his bruises aren't from street fights, but inflicted by Rick's own father. Rick will kill Joey if he says anything, but Joey can't stand by and let it happen. Caitlin and Susie are intrigued, too. There must be some way to make Rick smile.
|05 The Great Race: The girls' swim team has been challenged to a battle of the sexes swimming race by the boys' soccer team. But when Melanie, the star swimmer, gets her first bra and the boys all tease her, she refuses ever to be seen in a bathing suit again. Yick and Arthur have their own physique problems--it seems like everyone's had a growth spurt but them.
|06 Rumour Has It: Rumours are flying that Ms. Avery is gay, and when Caitlin has disturbing dreams about her favorite teacher, she begins to wonder about her own sexuality. Rick has a reputation as a tough guy, and when he goes on a spending spree after $20 disappears from Yick's locker, Arthur, the detective, swings into action.
|07 The Best Laid Plans: Stephanie asks Wheels out on a date, but bravado and overherad conversation lead both of them to imply to their friends that they'll do something--though neither is at all sure that they're ready for it. Yick has pinched a video from his brother--"Swamp Sex Robots" is so hot it'll fry your eyeballs!
|08 Nothing To Fear: When L.D.'s dad goes into the hospital, L.D. is terrified. Years ago, her mother went into the hospital and never came out, and L.D. is so paralyzed with fear that she lets down her family and friends. When Amadeus, the school's snake, gets loose, Melanie nearly falls apart. She just knows she'll be the one to find it unexpectedly.
|09 What a Night!: Lucy's clothes are always so sophisticated--Voula wishes she could dress like her. Voula goes "shopping" with Lucy, but when she finds out Lucy doesn't pay for her purchases, it's too late--the police have already been called. When Stephanie gets to meet her soap-opera star idol, and he gives her his phone number, she can hardly believe her luck.
|10 Smoke Screen: When school tough guy Rick suddenly takes an interest in the Environmental Action Committee, Caitlin decides he can be redeemed if people will give him a chance. Rick's not so sure he wants to be someone's project. Arthur doesn't know what to do when, unknown to Yick, he accidentally breaks what he believes is a family heirloom.
|11 It's Late: When Spike's period is late, she can hardly believe it--she never meant to go as far as she did with Shane. She is torn apart, not knowing what to tell Shane, or worse, her mother. Yick has a crush on Melanie, and seeks Arthur's romantic advice, since he's never asked a girl out on a date before.
|12 Parents Night: When Wheels's birth father shows up out of the blue, Wheels has to deal with his feelings about his adoptive parents, his birth parents and who he really is. Spike inadvertently comes to his rescue when she asks Wheels for advice on whether to put her baby up for adoption.
|13 Revolution!: To make Wheels jealous, Stephanie, the school president, puts Joey into the vacant post of sports rep. But the position is traditionally held by a Grade Seven student and the entire grade seven class starts a move to impeach her. Arthur is torn--does he side with his class, or with his sister?
