The episode "The List of Kissed" from season 1 of Unfabulous revolves around Addie's attempt to create a list of every boy she's ever kissed. At the start of the episode, Addie's best friend Geena shares that she has a list of everyone she's kissed, which inspires Addie to create her own. While listing out each boy's name, she realizes she can't remember if she actually kissed Jake Behari, a formerly unpopular boy who is now one of the most popular guys in school.
Addie begins to obsess over whether or not she actually kissed Jake, and enlists the help of her friends Geena and Zack to try and figure it out. Meanwhile, she also worries that her crush, Josh, might not like her anymore after seeing her hug Jake in the hallway. The stress of not knowing whether she's kissed Jake and her uncertainty with Josh causes Addie to act erratically and panicked.
As she attempts to solve the mystery of whether or not she's kissed Jake, Addie also has to deal with a feud between her little brother and the new neighbors, which involves various pranks and retaliations. She tries to stay out of it, but ends up getting involved when her brother ropes her into a prank. This only adds to her stress levels, and she struggles to balance everything going on in her life.
Throughout the episode, Addie starts to realize that the lists of boys she's kissed doesn't really matter, and that the important thing is how she feels about herself. With the help of her family and friends, she learns to let go of her obsession with the list and focus on being true to herself.
Overall, "The List of Kissed" tackles themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to fit in. It's a relatable story about navigating adolescence and learning to prioritize what's truly important.
