Chick Like Me

The war between the sexes starts heating up at John Adams High when the boys realize that girls expect different things when out on a date. When it is suggested to Cory that his school newspaper column is a tad boring, Shawn gives him a story idea on dating and sexual harassment based on the book they're reading in Mr. Feeny's class: Black Like Me. After Cory emerges from the bathroom in full regalia, it is decided that Shawn would make a better girl: he's studied them much more carefully. Making his debut at school, Shawn, now Veronica Wasboyski, immediately gets asked out by Gary, one of the school's more well-known Lotharios. Shawn soon finds out what it's like to push off a teen boy's advances. Meanwhile, Eric tries to teach mountain-reared Lonnie how to get along with city men.

Shawn schlägt ein gutes Thema für die Schülerzeitung vor: Haben Jungs und Mädchen unterschiedliche Erwartungen, wenn sie sich verabreden? Für Recherchezwecke verkleidet sich Shawn und schlüpft in die Rolle eines Mädchens. (Text: Premiere)
