Deb won't even let Jackie give the boys a lift to school, so they wine how sick they are of walking, then find a car for sale for $900, 300 each, so they beg their parents till their voices hurt, yet it's no all-round, but they decide to dig deep into their savings anyway. Dino preaches to Jonathan honesty which even the 'improved' Dino doesn't practice with Jackie, who now ironically finds him irresistibly hot but dares not suggest to get physical as she told him off. Jonathan really disappoints his mates by spending his $300 on a phone for Deb, but she tricks him into admitting he did it with Polly before he could hand it over, so he gets his money back to chip in after all. Ben still sneaks around with Sue, who objects most impractically to every room he ever shared with Monica, even starts about her first Bily Kirk. Dino's ma Annie is finally persuaded to go see the car, whose owner Mike hates it reminding him of his ex; seeing the kids' enthusiasm he even drops his price, $200 they can spend on repairs: the trio is in heaven on wheels; the price of gas soon knocks them back down, next day a broken carburetor gets them towed to purgatory. Polly is still into Jonathan, Dino warns him she's a pretty but empty package; when his dad gives him his credit card to take Deb -who shares his birthday- to a fancy restaurant, he uses it to pay the car repairs; Ben must go pick it up at the garage, with Deb- they solve the Monica problem by using the L-word and kiss long enough to drain the battery. Deb keeps stirring between her ma Mia and Dino's pa Michael. Jonathan and Deb celebrate their common birthday by becoming just good friends again. After chastely painting together and driving him home, Jackie finally jumps Dino's bones. Written by KGF Vissers See less
