Gidget · S1, E16
Too Many Cooks
Although cousins, football captain Tate Cook and basketball captain Corky Cook are bitter enemies. Unwittingly dating both on the same night, Gidget tries to placate the Cooks by giving them separate dates. Then she learns she has dated them both for the Founders Day Dance and that Jeff will be home for the affair too. Unable to break her date with the Cooks, Gidget hires Jimmy Speer to cycle her between the dance and her house, so she can make all three boys happy. Then Gidget finds what seems the perfect solution, substituting for Larue on the dance welcoming committee so she will not have to meet any of her escorts at home. Gidget performs feats of prestidigitation as she juggles the corsages each date has brought and maneuvers from one to the other while dancing the Frug. Disaster strikes when all three dates finally meet. Gidget, sure she has lost Jeff forever, goes home on Jimmy's cycle. However, she realizes Jeff's affection is undiminished when he follows her. When Jeff returns to college, Gidget resolves to devote herself to her studies, but when a new boy asks for a date, she protests and then tells him her number is in the phone book.
