This episode shows Jennifer exploring her values as to what she'd do in order to be attractive to a guy. She pretends to know nothing about baseball for the classmate she's attracted to who's a popular baseball athlete. They spend almost all their free time together for two weeks while working on the joint science project. However, they end up with an 'F'. He ends up getting kicked off the school baseball team. After confronting the science teacher during the conference between Jennifer, her parents and the teacher, Skip runs off when Jennifer attempts to comfort him.
At the end of the episode, Skip stops by to see Jennifer. Before he can state the reason for his visit, Jennifer hurriedly tells him that she's actually smart and very knowledgeable about baseball. When he asks why she did that, Jennifer tells him he didn't like her until she did. Instead he admits that in fact he likes her but was afraid of approaching her. He thought she'd laugh at him because of his grades. So...lesson of the episode: it pays to be yourself.
