Liz's dream of taking her senior year by the horns is sabotaged when she's forced to spend the last days of summer with Taylor Terry--Burleson High's perfect blond specimen of popularity. But the experience ends up changing both girls in ways they could never imagine...or does it?
Liz unexpectedly receives a dozen carnations from a secret admirer and goes on a mission to find out who they're from. Was it really Bryson, that cute guy who sits behind her in English class? Hopefully she'll manage to dodge the claws of her arch-nemesis Cori Cooper long enough to find out.
Determined to stand up for her fellow geeks and take back the talent show from the popular kids, Liz decides to enter the contest in the name of nerds everywhere. But when the going gets tough and Liz's enemy, Cori Cooper, goes on the warpath, it seems that Liz's crush, Bryson, is the only one who can save her.
With the talent show looming, Liz's pride, not to mention the collective self-esteem of her fellow nerds, rides on her performance not sucking. Feeling the pressure, Liz battles stage fright, a sinus infection, and the mysterious disappearance of Bryson, who is nowhere to be found right before curtain call. Can Liz defeat the evil sequined dance squad led by Cori Cooper? Or will she leave her nerdy peers forever feeling inferior to Cori and her cackling minions?
Sully recruits Miles and Troy to make and distribute pro-Liz t-shirts to garner support for her talent show performance.
Taylor Terry invites Liz to her annual "Anything But Clothes" party, which sets off a series of events including but not limited to: break-ups, stand-ups, confessions of undying love, and giant fruits wandering the streets of Burleson.
Prom is just around the corner and Liz still doesn't have a date. Taylor tries to convince her to muster up the courage to ask Bryson, but is Liz willing to finally put herself out there?
Prom is here and the school is buzzing. Liz tries to keep her focus on having a good time with her date, but Bryson insists on getting her attention. But a surprising interaction with Cori sets the night further on its head as Liz struggles to put the madness of senior year behind her.
The end of senior year has finally arrived, but so many things are unresolved. Will Liz break free and to move to New York City like she's always dreamed? Will Bryson finally tell Liz how he feels?
