Jackson and the other suitemates have a 'falling out' over Jackson's monopolization of the common room for his dates, so, in a 'huff', Jackson moves out. Concerned that Miss Dupre is lonely, the girls take out a personal ad in the paper for her, while Mr. Elliot decides to do the same after Lazz admits to sending in his own personal ads to the paper.
Shades of "The Laithe of Heaven": Lazz has a series of dreams which all seem to come true, and his latest dream involves Winnie getting abducted by a U.F.O. on top of the Eiffel Tower at 9:00 pm, but Winnie doesn't believe it. Meanwhile, Lauren's latest date is a fellow student, British soccer player Stuart Tait (Thomas Newton), but he is taken off the soccer team after doing poorly on one of Miss Dupre's Chemistry tests. Soon enough, Stuart is dating Headmaster's daughter Ashley, causing conflict between Lauren and Ashley, that is, until Lauren determines Stuart's real motives.
Still without a steady manager, Lazz offers to be Jackson's manager, and Lazz actually gets Jackson a gig, but is it the kind of gig Jackson wants? With the help of Lauren and Ashley, Christian tries to throw Winnie a surprise anniversary party, but Christian's odd behavior causes Winnie to suspect he's up to no good. Mr. Elliot gets a beautiful musical box for his mother, but, when she sees it, Miss Dupre assumes it's a present for her, and she walks off with it before Mr. Elliot can stop her.

It's the run-up to New Year's Eve: Christian has to go back to Germany for New Year's and Winnie is not happy, so Christian tries to appease her by arranging a date for her for the New Year's party; Lazz saves Ashley's life, and she's indebted to him, but he abuses her good graces; Jackson fails a Math midterm, and so he cancels his New Year's party plans with Lauren to study; and Mr. Elliot and Miss Dupre disagree on the arrangements for the New Year's party.
Lazz and Christian take jobs at a record store, and their foxy manager, Tina, starts making nice to Lazz, but her real intended target is Christian. And when Christian tries to tell Lazz that Tina is just using him, it threatens their relationship as "good buddies". Meanwhile, Ashley, Winnie, Lauren and Jackson become convinced that new faculty member, Physics teacher Mr. Nash, is out to murder his wife, after some compelling circumstantial evidence starts to accumulate.
Ashley, Winnie, Lauren and Jackson buy a lottery ticket using their birth dates for the numbers, and when those numbers turn out to be the winning numbers, they proceed on a major buying spree. But things get desperate when Ashley misplaces the ticket. Meanwhile, Stan (Rocco Vienhage), the owner of the record store, has bad news for Christian and Lazz: he's going to let one of them go, and he will base his decision on their performance for the week; a nasty competition ensues between them.
Winnie is organizing the Academy's charitable Date Auction, and she gets Lazz, Jackson and Christian to participate. But she seriously regrets it when her arch-rival, Denise Miller (Mercedes McNab), outbids Winnie for a date with Christian. Jackson is expecting a "special" evening when Lauren wins him, but he's very disappointed. Ashley bids on her 'hunk of the moment' (Scott Hamm), but doesn't make the point of getting to know him first. And Lazz is bid upon by a heavy girl (Melissa Taub), and he's not pleased... at least, not at first.
Lazz gets asked out by one of the Academy's most desirable girls, Christine Good, but the others think that she is dating Lazz just to get her on-again-off-again rugby captain boyfriend, Chuck Melborne, jealous. Sure enough, when Chuck discovers that Lazz is dating Christine, he calls him out for a fight. Meanwhile, convinced that Jackson is insensitive, Lauren demands that Jackson accompany the girls to one of Miss Dupre's new "Emotional Awareness Seminars" (also new to the seminar: Mr. Elliot!).
Winnie's father (Rick Fitts) comes to Paris, and Winnie is worried because her Dad never likes her boyfriends. Indeed, when Winnie steps away from the table during a lunch with her father and Christian, Mr. Barnes tells Christian that he's not good enough for his daughter, and tells Christian to break up with Winnie, which Christian promptly does. Jackson and Lazz challenge Lauren and Ashley to a little basketball sports betting. Mr. Elliot lends Miss Dupre $3000, but it could end up hurting their friendship.
Lauren convices Jackson to go to the "Disco Dance" while she is away visiting his father, and his experience at the dance (and with a girl named Megan (Janelle Paradee)) causes him to realize that he misses the single life, and that he may want to break up with Lauren. Winnie, Christian and Lazz, and Mr. Elliot compete to sell the most chocolate bars for charity (and a sportscar prize). For Ethics Class, Ashley is the big sister to her favorite ex-con, Mack (Pete Smith; the gang's cellmate from episode 1.35), but is Mack truly reformed?...
In a farcical outing: Lazz likes a sophisticated girl named Lydia (Zoe Adnopoz) who likes art and opera, so Jackson and Christian help Lazz pretend to be a sophisticated in the same subjects to get a date with her; terrible painter Lauren submits a painting rejected by Ashley (who is a good painter) as her own for an art project; without consciously realizing it, Mr. Elliot keeps painting Miss Dupre in all of his paintings!
When Ashley thinks that Lazz has swallowed her antique ring, she and the boys drag him down to the hospital where he's held for observation. At the hospital, Jackson hits it off with a French nurse named Babette (Leslie Danon), while Ashley volunteers as a candy stripper. Lauren and Winnie engage in a competition to see who can best decorate Mr. Elliot's office for their "Interior Design" project; but will conservative Mr. Elliot approve of either of the sassy girls' decoration designs?
