As If

In this episode we are shown life from Sooz's point of view for the first time. On the outside, Sooz is a grungy, tough, unique, rebellious teenager with multiple peircings and dreadlocks. On the inside we learn she is quite insecure, and has a deep crush on her friend, Rob. Sooz is working on an art project and tries to photograph people's tattoos, but no one shows up to be her model.

While still not ready to tell his parents he's gay, Alex tries to meet an attractive man he saw on the club, even though all his friends keep telling him it'll never happen. When he finally gets a date with the guy (after joining the gym just so he could talk to him), Al's looks are ruined by Sasha's fight with Chris (who was only with her for sex).

Jamie finally gets a real date with the woman he's been chatting on the internet for the past weeks. He's apprehensive because he lied about his age and job, and still has to put up with all the teasing from his friends who keep telling him how horrible this person might be.

Sooz flirts with a french guy at a party, but Nicki takes advantage of her shyness and steals the guy from Sooz. Louise, the annoying girl, is once again bothering everyone to sing a petition to help cows, so to get rid of the girl the gang tells her to go protest against a local merchant who sells zebra carpets.

Sasha's mom is away for the weekend, and it's the perfect opportunity for Sasha to ask Rob to come over so they can talk -- and get back together, which is what Sasha really wants. Sooz and Al listen to Nicki and Sasha talking so they decide to play a little trick on Jamie and tell him to show up at Sasha's dressed up as Bugs Bunny.

Ever since Alex met Dan, their relationship has been nothing but lies. Alex still doesn't have the courage to tell Dan the truth about him. Meanwhile, the school computers have been stolen and Officer Parker arrives at the school to handle the case.

Nikki is still seeing Gary behind Louise's back, but when she meets an attractive man at the coffee place she doesn't think twice before posing as a model to go out with him and blow her friends off.

Pushed by Sasha, Rob decides to go back home after staying with Jamie for awhile. His father wants him to help paint a room in the house, but Rob already made plans with Sasha.

Rob suggests that Nicki and Sasha take Sooz out to the nightclub they are going when he can't make it, but the girls aren't too sure. Sooz decides to go because it's a really good club, and the girls head off for a night out. Jamie meets Gabi on the street and Al starts to drink to forget Dan.

Jamie is going crazy with the thought that Gabi maybe pregnant with his child. He's at first terrified with the possibility of becoming a father at age 18, but after thinking it over he decides to be there for her.

The group decides to play truth or dare. Nicki and Sasha only want to laugh at the other's secrets, and everyone else feels uncomfortable and embarrassed. Among dares such as kisses and revealing imtimate secrets, Nicki and Sasha laugh at Jamie when he tries to share an emotional moment.

Rob, Sooz and Jamie are working in a posh resturant. It's a boring job between the rude customers and the bossy maitre, so Rob and Sooz, who have been flirting all night, quit.

Everyone tries to cheer up Alex as he's depressed over Dan, but nothing seems to work. Nonetheless, the group plan a surprise party for his 18th Birthday at the H20 club. Jamie calls Dan asking him to show up.

Sooz locks herself out of her house and the only one she can go for help is Nicki. Dressed in her cheerful clothes, Sooz meets Jamie at the café, and Sasha makes fun of her. Jamie realises how down and depressed Sooz is and tries to be her friend.

The group decides to break into the club for a swim. But their plans change when things don't go exactly as they hoped. When they're all ready to leave, nobody can find the keys, and there are mysterious sounds freaking them out.

Nicki is being a man-eater again and wants to get some action with Chris (the same guy Sasha went out with), but can't risk ending up alone on Louise's welcome back party. She flirts with Jamie, her "plan B", who is so naive that actually believes Nicki wants something with him.

Jamie starts passing out flyers on the street, convinced that one in a hundred women that gets the paper will call him. Surprisingly, someone actually calls Jamie and meets with him at the coffee place, where she asks him about parties.
