"Perfect"

By RoryJamesSaywer, May 06, 2007

This episode is partly about how Lindsay decides she wants to break up with Nick. Daniel, Ken, and Kim try to talk her out of it and say it is a bad idea. Lindsay decides she can't keep dating him if its not what she wants. This gets complicated when she keeps trying to break up with him but keeps chickening out. Also in this episode the school mascot falls and gets injured so the school needs a new mascot. Sam and Neil want to try out but they decide that Sam will be the one to try out. He wants to spend more time with Cindy. Daniel, Kim, and Ken hate that everyone is making such a big deal out of the "Big Game." In the end they cheer on the school due to the fact that they got jumped after trying to tag one of the jocks from the other teams' car. Altogether a great episode!moreless
