Season 1 Episode 1 - Aired 11/30/1988
On the first day of school, Zack is surprised to meet up with a girl with whom he'd had a little summer romance. She was in the 9th grade and he'd lied to her, telling her he was also in the 9th grade. He tries telling her more lies, such as that he has a driver's license and is in a special 9th grade homeroom. He had been elected a class representative, but resigns so that he will not have to appear in front of the assembly as an 8th grader. Miss Bliss catches on and urges him to tell the girl the truth. He finally admits the truth to her, but only after she guesses most of it for herself. She is angry and refuses to have anything more to do with him.
