Probably one of the few dances which nothing dramatic
happens….well with the exception of the Jimmy/Spinner sub plot but still that
is fluffy drama and yes I know that contradicts.
The episode begins as Emma is doing homework when her mom
appears offering her popcorn and saying they need to talk. You know how me and
Mr. Simpson knew each other back in the days of the original series….well we’re
dating now.
Emma confides this to Manny the following day about Christiane
and Mr. Simpson AkA Spike and Snake.
There is an announcement about the dances (mentioned last episode) and how at the
senior dance there is a breakdance contest and the winners get Maple Leaf tickets.
Jimmy and Spinner are talking about the contest and how they plan on snatching
the tickets as we meet Marco who is busting a move in the hallway. Spinner displays moves of his own and Paige compares
it to Heather (#5) and whispers to Jimmy to go solo.
Emma and Manny are still talking about Spike and Snake as
Simpson pulls Emma aside after class. Her mom called and told him that she told
Emma and he wanted to make sure that she was okay….she claims she was.
Craig asks if the girls are going to the dance and they
shake their heads. It’s Senior’s only (as in Senior High).
Jimmy breaks the news to Spinner that he moves like a
wounded Polar Bear which brings up a notable quote: ‘Polar Bears are White….I’m
White….And You’re Racist.’ Jimmy claims that it’s not cause he’s white just
that he sucks and they both go solo….may the best man win.
While the seniors have a night dance the juniors (Grade 7’s
and 8’s) are having a day dance with Simpson running it and it’s lame. They
play the Zit Remedy’s song and Emma is annoyed and leaves. Glad to be home for
girls night she soon sees her mom getting all dolled up cause Simpson lucked
into tickets for a concert and as mom leaves a fed up Emma decides to go wild
and crash the upperclassman dance. She and Manny get ready gushing about how
Emma likes Craig and how her Cindy Lauper costume looks lots like Spike when
she was a teen.
Joey asks Craig if he’s going with anyone. Craig admits that
there is a girl he likes but she’s not going. He’s also unimpressed that Joey
didn’t know who Sid Vicious was.
Paige and Hazel brush Ashley off as they enter the dance as
across the quad Craig sees the younger girls and helps them crash and Jimmy
steals Spinner’s music while he steals Jimmy’s dance clothes. This leads to
Jimmy dancing ripping his pants while Spinner dances to Elevator Music. As the
music comes to a slow mood, Craig approaches the girls and Emma is all giddy up
until he asks Manny.
Emma arrives home upset only to feel worse watching her mom
and Simpson kissing.
Jimmy and Spinner apologize for their sabotage and lament
seeing how Marco won the tickets and got all the girls….if only they knew he
didn’t care about the latter or the former come to think of it until meeting
Dylan.
Emma is mad with her mom and wishes she was told about
Simpson sooner. She hates things are changing with both her mom dating and the
guy she likes liking her best friend instead. She’s not totally sure if she’s
okay with either and needs time to think
