A Plot
Jenna is gaining weight, something which she is shrugging off. Alli brings up that maybe she could be pregnant and to take a test to rule it out. Jenna thinks she doesn't need to, despite the fact KC and her have not been practicing safe sex always. She's not going to let this doubt fog up her mind before she auditions for The Next Teen Star. KC is happy for her audition, but he can't make it due to football practice. Jenna begs him to come, but he can't and KC reminds her it's a one-in-a-million chance that she'll get the shot on the show. Jenna is mad KC won't support her and runs off. Meanwhile Jenna's symptoms are worsening. She's sick to her stomach and won't go to the doctor despite her brother/guardian's wishes. She won't let anything stop her audition.
At The Next Teen Star auditions, Jenna is sick and nervous without KC. She calls on KC on the phone, begging for him to come to the auditions. It's her turn to audition in front of the judges and she's a complete wreck. Before she can play, she gets physically ill and runs off and pukes in a trash can. KC finally arrives at the auditions, but Jenna is upset that she blew her audition. KC tells her that she can't miss out on her dreams and tells her to march back in front of the judges. She does exactly that, and performs her song. The judges are blown away and choose her as a finalist on The Next Teen Star.
Jenna is ecstatic and so is KC. But she's still in doubt on whether or not she's pregnant and wants to hide it from KC. She decides to take the test to calm her fears. Unfortunately for her, the test comes back positive.

He talks to LoveQueen16 later over webchat and they set out to meet offline to get the new Realm of Doom expansion pack.
Dave and Wesley are looking for Connor (who blew them off from hanging out) and he's nowhere in sight. They figure that he may have met up with LoveQueen16 at expansion pack release party. They shoot off an e-mail to Principal Snake and run off to Connor. At the expansion pack release party, LoveQueen16 and Connor are casually chatting and being friendly and LoveQueen16 even invites him over to test it out. Dave and Wesley run into Connor and LoveQueen16 outside. LoveQueen16 makes an excuse to leave and rushes off. Dave and Wesley tries to talk some sense into Connor but he is not listening and insists that she's only a friend. Dave and Wesley decide to back off if their relationship is indeed friendly, but Snake arrives and he's pissed. Snake grabs Connor's arm angrily and tells Connor he should be thanking them and pulls him into the car.
