    With Renata joining Jess and Lila's little clique, there are now three
    of them. And Jess and Renata soon fight over the same boy, new student
    and tough guy Devon Whitelaw. Rumors have it that it might have been
    Devon himself who set the family yacht on fire, with it killing his
    parents and inheriting the family money. All - except Liz - are
    somehow convinced that he indeed could have done it. Lila finds
    her new locker at geek corner.

069 [4.03-97] Drag King / Mann gegen Mann

    Winston wants Renata to feel comfortable in Sweet Valley, so he tries

    that Devon is a pro drag-racer it's just a matter of time until he
    and Todd meet for a race. Jess tries a love potion to win Devon.

070 [4.04-97] The Right to Bare Midriffs / Bauchfrei ist out

    A simple 'use the internet to get the information, instead of the phone'
    (which she was using) has dramatic results for Liz: she loses Todd -
    to the Internet. Todd's obsession with the Internet also effects Winston
    when Todd doesn't pay attention to a mishap during a picture scan.
    Result is: Winston's chat partner takes Todd as her partner prompting
    Liz to think he does more on the Internet than talking basketball.
    The school board wants to introduce a -gasp- mandatory dress code.
    This is something worth to fight and prevent, only Jess, Lila and Renata
    aren't the smartest when it comes to organizing and arguing.

071 [4.05-97] Lights, Camera, Factions / Hollywood ruft

    Winston's script got a 'go' from a student film festival and now he's
    about to shoot the movie. Since it's just a 'dumb student film' Jess
    isn't interested at all in participating - at least not until the names
    of the famous critics Friskel & Debert (who will critique the various
    projects) are mentioned: from that point Jess takes the movie into her
    own hands, forcing Winston to shoot something he never has intended to
    do. Seeing Liz living on her scheduler with her day planned out in
    detail bothers Devon and he makes her thinking about it by sending her
    into detention.

072 [4.06-97] A Kiss Is Just a Kiss (1) / Was ist schon ein Kuss? (1)

    Jess finds her Mr. Right in Devon but is dissapointed when Devon

    in the Mr. Right position too, after he helped Renata passing the
    driving test. Only Liz seems to be confused over who is her Mr.
    Right.

073 [4.07-97] The Kiss Heard Around the School (2) / Neues Spiel, neues Glueck

    An impertinent Jess told Renata about the kiss, and since Renata can't
    keep a secret neither soon the whole school knows about Devon kissing
    Liz. The last one to get hold of the news is Todd who then punches
    Devon. Liz still can't get her feelings under total control, and Todd
    also is now open to others. Cheryl gets Enid an interview with the
    possibility to become an ear model.

074 [4.08-97] Lucky Streaks / Gluecksstraehnen

    Liz goes more or less openly with Devon, while Todd is with Renata.
    Both enjoy the change and the different way of their new partners.
    But the honeymoon is soon over for both when the new lifestyle starts
    bothering both Liz and Todd. The fact that Liz now is together with
    Devon is a blow right into Jess' face since that means Jess wasn't good
    enough for Devon. To get over it Cheryl advises her to do a complete
    make-over and outfit-change - which goes green, uh, awry. Superstitious
    Enid breaks a mirror.

    pranks this time around, some aren't willing to stop it. For Sweet
    Valley the game may not be that easy as thought since Mesa's former
    star player Christian Gorman returns after a two-year stint in Delaware.
    Jess on the other hand is happy to hear about the return of Christian,
    her former beau. Soon the prank-less times are over when Mesa makes
    the first move. A revenge follows, for which subsequently another

    start rethinking this whole thing and finally agree to peace talks.
    Devon, however, has different plans. Although Christian advises Jess
    to stop the romance she declines. When it's out that Jess dates a
