In dieser Episode erläutert Ned, was es zu beachten gilt, wenn man für jemanden schwärmt – ein nicht immer erquicklicher Zustand, vor dem aber kein Schüler sicher ist. Dabei kommt es vor allem darauf an, die verschiedenen Typen von Schwärmereien zu unterscheiden. Cookie zum Beispiel ist ins internationale Topmodel Martika verschossen. Klar, dass er da keine Chance hat! Die Dame spielt schließlich in einer ganz anderen Liga. Moze dagegen hätte durchaus Chancen bei Kokosnusskopf, der ihr Rosen schenken will und sie dafür durch die ganze Schule verfolgt. Zu dumm, dass Moze von ihm nichts wissen will. Sagen mag sie ihm das aber auch nicht, um seine Gefühle nicht zu verletzen. Auch Ned hat so seine Schwierigkeiten: Er schwärmt für Suzy Crabgrass, aber wenn er mit ihr spricht, bekommt er einfach keinen vollständigen Satz heraus…

Talent Show: Ned and Cookie create "Talentpalooza" when kids are excluded from the school talent show. Moze must decide which of her many talents would be good for the show. Cookie gets people out of the regular talent show and into "Talentpalooza" which gets the principal mad.

Notes: Bitsy has Ned pass a note and Sweeney catches him, now he must pay. He has to write an essay along with everyone else so they plot revenge. Cookie finds joy in forging notes, but danger comes when he leads the teachers to the forgers "domain".

Best Friends: Moze continues her search for a new best friend with a quiz and whoever matches up closely is meant for her. But Moze ends up joining the Huge Crew. The Killer Bees recruit Cookie which puts Ned and Cookie's friendship to the test. Ned tries to find a new best friend in place of Cookie.

New Semester: Ned seeks his first kiss from Suzie Crabgrass which is on his "new semester list", but first he enlists Moze's help to break up Suzie and Loomer. By breaking them up Ned would have Suzie. Meanwhile, Cookie starts the new semester with a new super cool look and becomes a bully.
