Saturday Night Gordy
Thanks to Nanette and her not-so-great ideas, Angela finds herself at a school dance with Gordy Rhinehart as her assigned partner. Surprisingly, once some funky music starts playing, Gordy morphs into a dancing god. He shakes his grove thing better then any other in Tapwater Springs. Soon Connie Brinks is offering Gordy and Angela the chance to dance on his local television show. Angela jumps at the opportunity. All she has to do is convince Gordy the show is a good idea. With a little persistence, he agrees - on one condition: Angela has to keep him happy. Which would seem simple enough until Gordy transforms into the ultimate Diva, demanding such things as having every pea removed from his casserole. Angela manages to endure Gordy's rock star posturing until the day of the television taping. While Angela stands in the studio wings, waiting for her name to be announced, Nanette's is called instead. Has Angela put up with Diva Gordy for nothing?
Derek's Better Half
Bill and Geneva are going out on a date tonight and have opted to get Angela a "youth companion". Normally Mark and Derek would look after her, but they have an evening of monster trucks to look forward to. Enter Raven, a student from Geneva's community art class who also happens to be the same age as Mark. Raven has graciously accepted the position as Angela's companion. And Mark couldn't be happier! He instantly falls head over heals. Soon he and Raven are ditching Angela and Derek so that they can go to the monster truck show instead. Angela is angry. For starters, Angela thinks that Raven is cool and can't figure out what she sees in Mark. For another, with Mark gone, Angela is stuck with Derek! The Raven/Mark romance continues for several days. Raven promises to do cool things with Angela but Mark and his stupid romance thwarts all plans. Derek continues to get more miserable without his best friend brother at his side. When he's miserable he makes Angela miserable. She has no choice but to put the kibosh on the young lovers' love.
