This episode dealt with the whole sexual harassment issue on both the girls and the boys point of view. In my opinion, this episode covered the issue so well, that I feel that it can be shown today and even 10 years from now, and people can learn from it and hopefully take away a very heartfelt message. I actually feel that high schools should show it in the classrooms.

    This episode dealt with the whole sexual harassment issue on both the girls and the boys point of view. In my opinion, this episode covered the issue so well, that I feel that it can be shown today and even 10 years from now, and people can learn from it and hopefully take away a very heartfelt message. I actually feel that high schools should show it in the classrooms.

    We start out with Brooke and Sam working on a teen hot-line. They get a call from someone who is being accused of being gay. He says he isn't, but now everyone thinks he is. They see Nicole the next day making fun of Freddy Gong and saying he is gay. Back at Josh's house , he finds out that his mother wants to leave his father.

    Brooke asks Nicole to leave Freddy alone. Lily wears a "saucy" top and then Josh and Sugar make a rude comments that they thought she would be flattered to hear.Lily ask Harrison to tell them to stop but he doesn't do anything, which makes Lily feel even worse. Lily feels sexually harassed and tells on them. For punishment they enroll in a sensitivity camp. They are quite upset, especially Josh cause now he has to miss the family fishing trip. Nicole, because of the Freddy Gong thing, has to go through it also.

    So the guys and Nicole go through some rigorous physical training with instructor Glass. Mary Cherry and Carmen get caught watching the guys shower so now they have to go to camp too. Freddy lied to instructor Glass(so Nicole would leave him alone) and now Sam and Brooke have to take the class. Good Lord, now everyone is in the class!!

    Lily comes to the school after Carmen calls her, and tries to break her out! No luck, so Glass makes Lily stay, too.

    The boys do a "walk of shame" where they have to walk down the hallway thru a bunch at girls making sexual remarks to them. The guys actually look happy to go thru it until about 1/2 way thru, they feel a bit strange and violated.

    The girls, in another classroom, admit to talking to boys in a way that other boys would feel uncomfortable. Therefor, they admit they are guilty of sexual harassment , too. Mary Cherry is very funny in this scene, because she admits to a lot of things she has done to the guys.

    Now Sam and Harrison get up in front of everyone and he has to say what he would like Sam to wear if they were to go on a date. He says a guy wants to see a girl in a dress and to show a little leg and cleavage. Then he was to imagine she was his kid sister...and now , how does he feel... he admits not the same and he wouldn't want his sister to dress like that. Then Sam was asked to look at Harrison's tush and describe it. She said it was cute and 'muffiny'. Then the teacher told her to grab it, Sam said "no, you can't make me" and the teacher said "that's right, it is your choice... remember how that feels to have a choice". Lesson learned!

    Next, Josh and Lily get up in front of class and he is instructed to tell Lily what he said to her in the hallway. He says : "Damn girl, where you been hiding those?" Lily says she felt uncomfortable and sleazy. He does a short outburst making sexist comments and then visions his mother standing in front of him saying "You're just like your father."
    Josh apologizes to Lily and leaves the room.
    Back at school the next day, Nicole apologizes to Freddy, because now they both don't have any friends.
    The last scene shows Josh moving in with his mom.

    I really liked this episode...of course...that's why I picked it.
    Hope you liked it as well, let me know by leaving a comment.
