Plot[]
Louis finally sneaks a kiss with Tawny during lunch. Both of them sit there stunned when Ren comes along and snaps them out of it by taking Tawny off for a costume fitting for the play she's writing and directing about John and Abagail Adams. Louis tells Twitty about the kiss, and he knows what Tawny's reaction was. Twitty goes to the play rehearsal to try and find out if Tawny feels the same way towards him. She tells him to have Louis meet her the next morning by her locker, and sure enough as Louis waits for Tawny nervously, she surprises him by saying she'd like to be his girlfriend. The happy couple walk off hand-in-hand. Meanwhile, Coach Tugnut tells Ren her play is incredibly dull and needs to be spiced up. At home, the Stevens family is watching an old romantic movie on TV which gives Ren the idea to give her play a more romantic angle. Donnie is concerned the movie didn't make him cry like everyone else. He tries to find someone to help him learn to be more sensitive, but his choice of teachers is not a very good one--it's Beans. Back at the rehearsal, Ren tells the cast she's rewritten the play, and now it ends with a kiss between Tawny and Zack..
This the first relationship of Tom and Ren when Louis convince her to be Tom's girlfriend. When she does it, Louis convince Tawny to join the play with Tom and Ren. Tawny assures him that she's just acting and still only really cares for Louis. The play opens and all is going well until Zack and Tawny are about to kiss eachother in the play. So Louis steals Tom's clothes trying to prevent the kiss and a big wrestling match breaks out. The audience certainly isn't bored by the play, in fact they laugh. But they cheered with the applause. Tawny is upset with Louis and indicates that he may have stepped into the relationship too quickly. The pair decide they would be better off remaining friends, however, their feelings for each other remain too strong for mere friendship.

Trivia[]
- When Tawny and Louis meet at his locker to talk about the kiss they shared the day before, Tawny tells Louis that she's liked him since the day they first met. However, in 'A Weak First Week', aka the pilot episode, Tawny seemed rather condescending towards Louis at their first meeting. Also, when Louis had brought up the notion that her sour attitude towards him may have meant that she had romantic feelings for him (counsel received by his mother), Tawny denied it. This, of course, could have been an act on Tawny's part. All the same, the chemistry between Louis and Tawny was clearly seen during the pilot episode.
- Tawny says her mother is from Modesto and her father is from Gilroy, two northern California towns not too far from Sacramento.
- Ren's play is originally titled 'The Long Wait for Freedom', then is changed to 'The Abigail Adams Story'.
- Donnie mentions that Beans is eight years old and Beans confirms it.
- Ren's play is not quite historically accurate. She has John Adams leaving for France in 1783, but according to the Encyclopedia Americana he actually departed in October 1782!
- During the play scene, Tawny puts down a book at the edge of the table. When she walks over to Louis, Tom and Ren joins the play.
- In a scene where Tom, Louis and Twitty are walking down the hall at school, Tom and Ren walking the other way run into each other.
