    but a reluctant one for Kevin who already has had a run-in with
    her in class, where she is a student of his. So to 'convince' their

    Mary-Kate's problems in Math force Kevin to hire a tutor for her,
    namely Taylor. While it's a drag for Mary-Kate, Ashley has caught
    fire the minute Taylor walked through the door. So, to be with him
    she offers Mary-Kate to switch identities, which she accepts. Never

    Ashley throws a sleep-over party to which also high-class student
    Jennifer will appear - a chance for Ashley to climb up the social
    ladder in school. But her fun is spoiled when Mary-Kate - Truth or
    Daring - announces that she already has had her first kiss. Now she
    is the center while Ashley is left in the cold. And Kevin and Carrie
    also are hit by reality when Paul, a student, sees Carrie at Kevin's
    (she's staying overnight for the kids' party) and soon - not
    necessarily Paul's fault - the whole class knows.

    Ashley has a crush on Pokey and does everything to be with him,
    including buying the seat next to him in class. (A trick Carrie
    later also tries to sit next to her affection.) Pokey later calls
    over Mary-Kate to shoot some hoops which she - thanks to her pals -

005 [1.05-98] Breaking Them Up Is Hard to Do / Kampf um Carrie

    Kevin dates again, Marci. Although the twins say it doesn't bother
    them, it does - especially Ashley. And when Carrie jokes that she
    could be jobless soon, the twins' mission is clear: end the
    relationship as soon as possible. A sick Ashley, a tough Mary-Kate
    and a dad with one, two, many dates should serve the purpose.

006 [1.06-98] Nightmare on Carrie's Street / Die Gruselparty

007 [1.07-98] The Heartbreak Kid / Tierischer Kummer

    Taylor's announcement that he now has a girlfriend means a broken
    heart for Ashley. And Kevin adds his share to the situation when he
    gets involved after finding Ashley's Taylor-'collectibles' box in the
    trash. Ashley buys a chest at the fleamarket to fix it up, something
    which becomes a father-daughter project. Mary-Kate wants a pet -

    doesn't return.

    A magazine crew headed by supermodel Tarah James comes to school to
    shoot some pictures for a teen magazine. For Ashley a dream might
    come true if chosen, for Mary-Kate participating only means getting
    a chance to cut school. However, Mary-Kate is chosen over Ashley and
    a secret passion comes to light. At school, Kevin meets Tarah, and
    Tarah invites him along to a cocktail party. But the fact that it's
    a 'business'-party and Carrie's view of the situation crosses his
    ways, preventing a hit.

    money but doesn't want to give up her current job and neglect the kids.

    The results are that Leslie still doesn't feel better and now is also
    mad at Carrie. Ashley has her eyes on Eric, a sports fanatic, and
