- DirectorCharles LamontStarsAnnette FunicelloTim ConsidineDavid StolleryAnnette may regret going to the party with Olmstead Ware: he doesn't have a car, though Annette insists she likes walking, and he talks her into stopping by the local malt shop first--for his daily sugar rush. Annette likes the handsome soda-jerk, Mike Martin, but is dismayed that he won't be at the party. When the couple finally arrives at Val's house, most of the gang has already paired up for dances out on the patio. Kitty Blalock, who has a crush on "Steady" (and matches him in height!), isn't happy that he brought a girl with him, but everyone appears to like and welcome Annette...except for piano-playing Laura Rogan, who catches Steve smiling at Annette and immediately begins to pick the new girl apart. Annette, too polite to do anything but go along, finds herself stuck playing a game of Spin the Bottle, and forced into singing a song.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsAnnette FunicelloTim ConsidineDavid StolleryWhile shopping for new school clothes with her Aunt Lila, Annette meets Val Abernathy and her mother, who invite Annette to a party at Val's home. The guest of honor? Laura Rogan, whom Annette will quickly clash with.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsAnnette FunicelloTim ConsidineDavid StolleryAnnette dresses for the party at Val's house, but there's a mix-up over who which boy is escorting her. Steve Abernathy was originally slated to pick Annette up, but calls Annette's Uncle Charlie to tell him he's taking Laura Rogan instead. But not to worry, Olmstead Ware (a.k.a. "Steady") will take his place. This infuriates Aunt Lila and Katie the maid, but Annette makes the best of it--even when she finally greets Olmstead, a short, stubby kid with little manners, a big appetite and a gift for gabbing.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsAnnette FunicelloTim ConsidineDavid StolleryThe party gets going with a game of Spin the Bottle. Losers must pay a penalty (in Laura's case, a very expensive necklace) and redeem it later with a performance. In that phase, Laura sings, Steady stands on his head and dances a jig, and Annette starts to sing but is interrupted by the call "Soup's On". She's left alone and starts to leave the party before being intercepted by Mrs. Abernathy.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsAnnette FunicelloTim ConsidineDavid StolleryAnnette joins the others for dinner, and gets some favorable attention from Steve. Jealous Laura gives Steve a little push, making him spill a dessert on Annette's dress. Annette's escort Steady tells her they have to leave the party early, so they're not around when Laura discovers that her necklace is missing. Based on no good evidence, Laura voices her suspicions that Annette took it.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsTim ConsidineRichard DeaconShelley FabaresAunt Lila is unhappy with Annette's continued preference for Jet over Val's crowd, as she knows nothing about the problems Laura is causing. Uncle Archie and Annette make a date with Jet to visit her family's ranch next Saturday. Jet again tries to get Annette to show more backbone in dealing with Laura. Steve and Mike both invite Annette on the gang's hayride and barbecue, but it's also on Saturday. Annette declines, as she refuses to disappoint Uncle Archie.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsIrving BaconTommy ColeTim ConsidineAnnette and her uncle arrive at the Maypen ranch. Meanwhile, Steve diverts the hay wagon to the same destination, so they can pick up Annette. Uncle Archie insists that she join the gang, and Steve insists that Jet come too. They sing their way to the Abernathy ranch.
- DirectorCharles LamontStarsSharon BairdTommy ColeTim ConsidineAt the meeting, Laura is about to perform her song, but one note on the piano sounds very odd. Steve looks more deeply into the piano than anyone bothered to do during the hunt for the necklace, and he finds it. Laura apologizes to Annette (although not without making excuses for her suspicions), and asks if they can try to be friends. Annette agrees. Jet and Laura also resolve their differences, and the gang sings "Don't Jump to Conclusions". Laura is clearly the object of Drew's fascination, but she may have lost Steve to Jet, as they stick close together, as do Annette and Mike. When she gets home, Annette tells her family the happy news that her recent miseries are over, and she has a lunch date with Mike. They all head to the kitchen for warm milk.
