The Hard Times Of RJ Berger

Hungover from the nerd party(see episode #1.8, "Nerds Gone Wild"), RJ tries to kill the pain with aspirin, some of which he takes with him to school. But when Prinicpal Haggerty call him to his office to reprimand him about the rumors of a party and he takes another aspirin to deal with his headache, the principal accuses him of being a drug addict and sends him to detention, where her meets a gang who thinks he did harder drugs and decide to take him in. Lily tries to join the cheerleading squad in the hopes of attracting RJ and finds out something RJ already knows about Jenny -- that she's not as stuck-up and bitchy as she originally thought.

Unable to concentrate on his tutoring with Jenny, RJ fears that he's losing his focus and failing both himself and the girl of his dreams, so he and Miles conspire to steal a cheat sheet from a teacher's house. Unfortunatley, Miles makes the mistake of getting his psychopathic Iraq War Vet brother involved, and promising the answers for other jocks at Pinkerton High.

With Lily on life support at the hospital, RJ's decision regarding who to take to the winter formal has been made for him(see episode #1.11, "Lily Pad."). Despite feeling guilty over the manner in which that decision was made, RJ promises Jenny that he'll make this the best formal ever. Unfortunatley this effort proves to be difficult for everyone when she and Miles find that Max is taking Robin Pretnar to the dance, even after Robin seemed to accept a date with Miles. Can he still make this a night he and Jenny can both enjoy? Or will other distractions bring their lives to ruin?
