SEASON 1, EPISODE 17
LOVE STINKS


A local baseball hero (John Washington) finally decides to tell the girl of his dreams
how he feels about her, but he tells the wrong girl by mistake. And she is not easily
dismissed, as the star learns a deadly lesson in love when his romantic intentions
become a fatal attraction. Meanwhile, a recent Springwood High graduate (Georg
Olden) takes on the part-time job from hell at a pizza parlor, giving 'pizza by the slice'
a whole new meaning as his plans for a post-graduation trip go awry.
