  • Falling In Love
    Wholesome 15-year-old Amy Juergens finds out that she's pregnant, sparking panic among her two best friends, Lauren and Madison. She won't tell them who the father is, but we catch on when Ricky, fellow marching band member and "drummer," tells Amy he won't forget that special night they spent together at band camp. But Ricky has his own problems. His girlfriend, Adrian, is about to stand him up to go on an illicit date with the school football star, Jack. Jack's a devout Christian, just like his beautiful, virginal girlfriend, Grace Bowman, but he finds himself torn between his manly instincts and his promise to God. Meanwhile, Ricky's also putting the moves on Grace - can't he just stick to one girl? Apparently not, as we learn from a conversation he has with his shrink. But in that same conversation, he also reveals that he spent time in a foster home, thanks to his abusive dad. But Ricky doesn't know that Amy's pregnant. She doesn't know who to tell first - a doctor, or her parents? But before she has a chance to break the news to her family that their "good girl" is not so good, Ben calls to ask her out on a date. He's even joined the marching band just to get closer to Amy. She agrees to go with him to the Youth Fellowship post-game celebration. Meanwhile, Ben's best friends, Alice and Henry, notice that Ben's moved beyond just trying to have sex with Amy - he's actually got a thing for her now. Too bad he doesn't know her big secret, though he does notice her looking at Ricky from across the room. So do Lauren and Madison, unfortunately, and they put two and two together. But where are Jack and Adrian during all this? Oh, just making out in the church hallway. Unfortunately, Tom, Grace's brother, walks in on them and screams. Grace and Ricky discover their two-timing significant others while Amy and Ben, oblivious to it all, finish up their slow dance as the world falls apart around them.

  • You Are My Everything
    New love is in the air when we find Amy and Ben in the school hallway together after their romantic night at the youth fellowship post-game party. Even Ricky can't get a date with Amy now, despite the fact that, you know, she's sort of... carrying his baby. And Adrian? Well, she's always a safe bet for Ricky, even though we get the distinct sense he means a little bit more to her than she's letting on. Let's just hope he's not gonna mess that one up. Meanwhile, Jack's desperately pleading to win back Grace's love (hers and her whole family's), thanks to his little judgment error: kissing Adrian in front of the whole school. Too bad - or good thing? - Grace doesn't know what else happened, even if Jack did tell everybody in the whole locker room... And Jack's not the only big mouth on campus. Thanks to Lauren and Madison's gossipy ways, the whole school knows that Amy and Ricky had one fateful night at band camp together. Of course, it inevitably gets back to Ben, and boy, is he upset. So's Amy, who starts giving her BFFs the silent treatment. But she eventually forgives them, as so often happens in girl land. Speaking of the silent treatment, Grace can't seem to give Jack the cold shoulder for too long, even if her parents won't let her see him ever again. But maybe they have good reason - after all, he lies through his teeth when Grace asks what happened between him and Adrian. Grace totally buys into the lie, and things are good between them... for now. And as for the happy new couple, things are about to get a lot more serious, because Ben just dropped the big L bomb. And he's even willing to overlook the whole Ricky thing. Amy's so smitten, she's almost forgotten there's another B bomb about to come. Until next time...

  • I Feel Sick
    There've been some changes in Amy's figure since we last saw her - she's gained baby weight and a killer appetite, to boot. To make matters worse, a close encounter of the gas station kind between potential grandmother Anne and Dr. Jean Hightower reveals that Anne is still as clueless as ever. The rest of the town is not, however, thanks to the gossip mill. Meanwhile, Ben's still working on planning the perfect first kiss with Amy, while Ricky's hatching a plan of his own - a selfless one, for once! He's going to help Grace sneak around behind her parents' back by pretending to date her, and then safely escort her into Jack's arms. But is it so selfless? Adrian doesn't seem to think so, but she'd never admit that she's actually... jealous. Later, at the fair, all the usual suspects are coupled up: Alice and Henry, Amy and Ben, and Grace and Jack (hey, he can get over his Ricky hatred if this plan involves make-out sessions). But when Ben tries to kiss Amy after the carousel, she gets a serious case of nausea and throws up all that food she just ate. Talk about ruining Ben's painstakingly planned moment. Looks like the only serious winner at the fair turns out to be Ricky, who scores serious points with the Bowmans when he brings Grace home safe and sound from their "date." Unexpected, right? But Ben's not willing to give up his romantic vision yet. He shows up at Amy's house and executes that first kiss, flawlessly. All could be well in Amy's world, except that now sister Ashley's figured out she's pregnant... and from the looks of it, there's a lot more drama to come before everybody gets to their (hopefully) happy endings.

  • Caught
    The whole town's thrown into a tizzy when good girl Grace is caught on tape doing something bad. When two guys harass her on a street corner after dark (following another of her secret meetings with Jack, of course), Grace rises to the occasion and threatens them with a broken beer bottle, street-fighter-style. All of a sudden, Ricky jumps in to save her, and both of them are caught on camera... and Ricky's not wearing a shirt. (That's because he'd just been sleeping at Adrian's.) Thanks to the local news show, which airs the whole thing, these two would-be warriors become overnight celebrities. While the Bowmans are trying to figure out how to punish Grace for going behind their backs, the Juergens see Ashley suddenly turn into a good girl, which raises red flags. As does a certain piece of gossip dad hears at the store, about one of his girls having sex (wonder who THAT could be?). Looks like Amy can't keep her big secret under wraps much longer, because by now the whole school knows she slept with Ricky... and the Bowmans know she's pregnant. Even AMY is ready to spill the beans, but her parents don't believe her when she confesses she's been having sex. Maybe they're just too distracted, what with Anne being so busy worrying about whether or not GEORGE is having sex with another woman. Meanwhile, Grace decides to punish herself by quitting the cheerleading squad, and to punish Jack by taking Ricky to church. Jack's got his own tricks up his sleeve: He's going to take Adrian to church too. While those four are going at it, Ben and Amy are working out some serious relationship issues - especially after Ben's dad brings up the suspicion that Amy might be pregnant. Is Ben going to use their study session as a chance to confront Amy? And where is Amy's dad going with that overnight duffel bag? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, Tom wants to marry his new girlfriend, Tammy, Grace is in love with Ricky, but he's still seeing Adrian on the side, and Jack takes responsibility for making the fake ID's.
