Jessie is under pressure with midterms and her own singing group so she turns to caffeine pills, ignoring Slater's warning that the pills are hazardous to her health. When Zack finds out he cancels her performance and rushes to her side.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)This episode was like the only dramatic sad soap opera kind of episode in Saved By The Bell, which I really loved. The acting was a bit better from all the actors. Especially Jessie, she nailed her performance. The singing plot wrapped around this episode so perfectly, cause it seems to be a light crazy episode in the beginning, but it turns, Jessie is a drug addict. Finally they show that Jessie & Slater are dating. Slater was not himself, he was really nice to Jessie. I loved the song they all sang, "Go For It" A really good song. An amazing episode.
jessie is stressed out with midterms and also trying to balance a singing group..therefore she turns to pills regardless of her friends' warnings hide show
this was a very revealing episode because we really saw a different side of jessie..were used to her studying hard and stressing about grades but i would never put her as a person to take pills to help her out..thats just not her personality..she should have just quit the singing thing regardless of her friends pushing her..spoiler..jessie is worried about her grades when midterms approach..meanwhile the girls sing together to goof off and zack immediately becomes their agent and wants them to start a girl group..this forces jessie into pills..i was mad when she didnt listen to slater..but zack really did give her the intervention she needed

Can caffeine pills be so addicting that it can be like Heroin? Well, unlike some people who probably reviewed this episode just because they saw a clip on Youtube, I'm actually reviewing the whole episode. This episode was very informing, and it can tell you a whole lot about drugs. Although, it only discusses the danger of caffeine pills, and the producers said in an interview that that is probably the farthest they got to drugs in an episode, it is very informing. Say, the caffeine pills can be x. X=Heroin, cocaine, etc.
Zack convinces Kelly and the girls to go sing for a record producer since they seem to be very good. Zack also has Screech (duh) go in to the locker room to record them singing when they denied it. After Jessie is disgusted about that, she then agrees to sing. Jessie is stressed about the singing and studying for her geometry test, so she takes pills. Slater is the first to find out, but Zack denies it because Jessie is her friend and he won't listen to that.
Drugs can be dangerous, and this episode tells you how. While it's telling you how, it is also a funny episode and it can leave you crying at the end. Not that I did, of course. This episode was great. There is some character development for Jessie, since you will learn a little more about Jessie and how together as friends she and Zack are, but it's not great character development.
I recommend this episode, and it can be a first impression episode if you know about the series a little more. If you don't, then this episode is not really recommended.
When Jessie gets stressed, she turns to a dangerous friend. hide show
Everyone I know agrees with me that this is the best episode of Saved by the Bell. I refer to it as the "I'm So Excited" episode. Zack, always out for the get rich quick scheme, finally realizes that Jessie is doing herself harm, he becomes a real friend and tells her the band is not as important as her getting better. Actually, Slater is the one who first finds out about Jessie's drug use and warns her about the downsides, but she chooses to ignore him. It is a very serious episode, a little off par for Saved by the Bell.

one of the best and most memorable episodes of saved by the bell ever. who could forget the line " i'm so excited, i'm so excited, i'm so scared"? this episode was all about jessie. it was different and very exciting and sad all at the same time. drugs are a serious thing and saved by the bell portrayed them that way. it informs kids about the consicences of drugs and still manages to stay in that fun lovable comdey category. like when, screeh went into the girls locker room as sinead o'connor, sinead's aunt, the janitor? classic. simply classic. i really enjoy this episode, and any saved by the bell fan would agree when i say this is defiantly one of the best edpisodes in the whole series.
