051 [3.07-96] Surfing The Nets / 48 Stunden ohne

    The clan sets up a bet: whoever manages to go without his/her 'favorite
    quirk' for two days gets the pot: so no flirting for Jess, shopping for
    Lila, stories about relatives from Enid, basketball stories from Todd
    and sarcastic remarks from Cheryl. The first drop out is Lila after
    fifteen seconds. Cut loose fishing nets cause trouble at the beach.
    The initiator is identified by Peter and he already dreams about the
    big story. Also Shred gets caught in this when surfing is no more fun
    and he now must face his deepest fears as the culprit is no other than
    his father: R.J. Patman.

    it's payback time for Liz. But nothing works ... except one thing. At
    the basketball game Todd scores the winning points in the last second
    with a lucky throw. From now he is the star, and with stardom his ego
    flies high, too.

    even more: 'Headline America' does a report on him. While Jess is eager

063 [3.19-97] Sweet Valley Night Fever / Die Seventies-Party

    To prove she can handle things, Jess volunteers to organize the upcoming
    dance. What follows is typical Jess: the less she must do, the better -
    besides the fact that she doesn't know what is really needed for a
    dance. That starts with the theme - a '70s Disco Dance - which she
    'steals' from Enid. Liz has other problems: For Todd 'dressing like
    in the 70s' means a Larry Bird basketball dress from the 70s. And

064 [3.20-97] Crimes and Cappuccinos / Lila wird entfuehrt

    they kidnapped. Jess doesn't even notice Lila's absence with her new
    best friend - Enid. With Enid now hanging out with Jess, Liz feels
    neglected. Winston hits it big when he 'finds' a cappuccino machine at

065 [3.21-97] Search For Liz / Alles nur getraeumt

    Arguing about these unbelievable soaps, where a character fell into
    a coma by bumping into a door, Jess gets a dose of the real thing
    when exactly that happens: both her head and the door wanted to be
    in the same place at the same time. An unconscious Jess dreams about
    being a character in one of those daytime soaps: She finds herself
    accused of killing Delilah with a clueless detective, Rod, now on
    that case. An evil twin, Liz, and Jess' lover, Winslow, play foul
    games. And the other characters - a doc, a nurse, a dopey officer
    Manno and rocker Enid have their own soapy stories going on.

    final test in Social Studies and faces lessons during the time off.
    The basketball team and Todd, joined by Winston, want to do the
    traditional jump from the cliffs at Jackson's Bluff - and risk their
    lifes when the water level is unusual low.
