As If

This episode is all from the point of view of Jamie, a typical teenager whose main thoughts are girls and parties. Jaime's latest crush is Nicki, who's just split up with her latest boyfriend.

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.
