Ep 14. Sadie Hawkins Day

In "Sadie Hawkins Day," the 14th episode of season 2 of Even Stevens, Ren participates in her school's Sadie Hawkins Day dance, where girls get to ask boys to be their dates. Meanwhile, Louis and Twitty create their own alternative dance for those who don't have a date.

As the episode begins, Ren is excitedly getting ready for the Sadie Hawkins Day dance. She plans to ask her crush, Bobby Deaver, to be her date and has even concocted a special perfume to wear just for him. However, when she arrives at school, she learns that Bobby has already been asked by someone else. Ren is crushed, but her friends encourage her to ask someone else. They suggest Larry Beale, the school news anchor, who is known for his good looks and charm. Ren reluctantly agrees and works up the nerve to ask him.

Meanwhile, Louis and Twitty are not thrilled about the Sadie Hawkins Day dance. They are both single and don't want to be left out of the fun. So, they come up with an alternative dance for those who don't have dates. They call it the "Dude-A-Thon" and invite all of their male friends to attend. The theme is "anything but a suit and tie" and they plan to eat junk food, play video games, and have a good time.

As the night of the dances approaches, Ren is nervous about her date with Larry. When they finally meet up, she is surprised to find that he is not as charming as she thought he would be. He is more interested in talking about himself and is not very attentive to Ren. She tries to make the best of it but eventually gets fed up and storms off. When she sees Bobby dancing with his date, she becomes even more upset and decides to leave the dance altogether.

At the same time, Louis and Twitty's "Dude-A-Thon" is in full swing. They are having a blast and even invite some girls over to hang out. However, things start to go wrong when one of the guys accidentally spills soda on the couch. The group tries to clean it up but ends up making a bigger mess. They also realize that they are missing out on the fun at the Sadie Hawkins Day dance.

In the end, Ren decides to go back to the dance. She still feels down about the whole situation but realizes that she shouldn't let it ruin her night. She runs into Larry and they have a heart-to-heart conversation about their past experiences with rejection. They both agree that they don't need a date to have a good time and decide to dance together as friends. At the same time, Louis and Twitty decide to close down the "Dude-A-Thon" and attend the Sadie Hawkins Day dance together. They arrive just in time to see Ren and Larry dancing and realize that they too can have fun without a date.

Overall, "Sadie Hawkins Day" is a heartwarming episode about the ups and downs of teenage romance. It shows that rejection is a part of life but doesn't have to define you. The characters learn that it's important to have fun and enjoy the company of friends, regardless of whether or not they have a date. The episode also highlights the importance of friendship and how it can help you through tough times.
