Private Notes
Ginger foolishly follows the lead of archrival Miranda when she steals the supposed perfect birthday gift for the most popular girl at school.
Ginger, Macie and Dodie are serving time by doing community service in the retirement home. Ginger brings Carl along and meets an old lady named Maude he falls in love with. This causes tension between Carl and Hoodsey especially after Hoodsey finds out that Carl changed the secret location of the doghouse and only told Maude. Meanwhile, Ginger learns that Courtney Gripling wants to come over for dinner, but Carl invites Maude to dinner on the same night.
Why is Ginger so nervous about going on the ski trip with her school? Perhaps it's because she can't ski, or maybe it's because Carl and Hoodsey snuck along to cause mischief of their own, or maybe it's because Courtney is trying to get her to kiss that French foreign exchange student on the ski lift... Hmmm, doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about at all!
When Courtney hears Ginger talk to her friends about their weekly slumber party, She decides that she wants to host one. Blake invites Carl over, but he can't go because he got grounded, so he sends Hoodsey instead - in order to get his petrified eyeball back.
Dodie gets the job of making the school announcements and uses it as a forum to reveal gossip about Lucky Junior High. When a lice scare hits the school and Dodie finds out Courtney has been infected, will she make the announcement or will Ginger be able to convince her to keep her mouth shut. Carl and Blake are trying to become famous. Carl is holding a lice circus, while Blake is trying to make flies with multi-color wings.
When Miranda sees Darren passing a note to Ginger in class and tells her that "you and your boyfriend make a cute couple" (mainly to keep Ginger away from Ian Richton, so she can have him for herself), Ginger takes a trip to the movies with Darren a little too seriously - especially when she ends up sitting between Darren and Ian (who's sitting next to Miranda). Carl tries to borrow Blake's new telescope so he can win a bet with Brandon.
Ginger wants her father, whom she hasn't seen in a while, to see her read a poem at a school show. When Carl is bitten by Brandon's brother's monkey, he starts acting like one. Lois drinks a pitcher of "dehydrated sea snake mix" (yuck).
When Miranda convinces Dodie that Courtney is Ginger's new best friend, Dodie reveals Ginger's secret that her mom won't let her shave her legs, and Miranda uses it to blackmail Ginger. Carl, with a little help from a teacher's toupee, transforms into a "wolf boy".
When Courtney and Macie are enrolled in a high school French class, Macie somehow ends up hosting a pool party, where a couple of older girls that are named Chantel and Andrea are jealous about how Courtney looks at Will Patterson plan to reveal (literally) that Courtney stuffs her bikini top. Carl and Hoodsey try to obtain some of Albert Einstein's DNA for a fourth-grade science fair.
When Lois forbids Ginger from wearing makeup to school picture day, the girls decide to create "fake-up". Carl's ride with the trash collector results in an unexpected prize - Blake's baby blanket.
Ginger and Ian are made lab partners in chemistry class, but when Ian seems interested in Ginger, is he interested in her as a person or her as a way to keep a "B" average and his spot on the soccer team? Carl, Hoodsey, and Brandon audition for a glockenspiel solo in front of the town eccentric.
When Ginger and Dodie feel that a talent show act based on "The Little Seal Girl" is a little juvenile, Macie decides to do a solo. Carl comes face-to-palm with a mummified hand of Mrs. Gordon's that supposedly has a curse.
A severe snowstorm causes Courtney, Blake, and Winston to get trapped in their limousine, to be rescued by Ginger, Dodie, and Macie and brought to Ginger's house to get warm - only for the unfrozen food and the firewood to run out and the power be off so they can't cook anything. Carl and Hoodsey take care of their dentist's dog in exchange for a cuspidor (a fancy word for "something you spit into").
Courtney, overhearing Dodie, Macie, and Ginger discuss their camp plans, decides to join them at Camp Caprice.
Across the lake at a military camp, run by Miranda's father, Miranda and Darren struggle with the exercises. The two form a small bond.
Back in Sheltered Shrubs, Carl and Hoodsey start a house-keeping service as a cover-up for their search for the town's mysterious dog-napper.
Ginger, Dodie and Macie try out for a play, and all make it. Miranda was jealous that Ginger got the part she wanted (which was the part of Goody Webster), and blames Ginger for something that she did to get Ginger kicked out of the play, but later admits she did it during the play (Ginger had a picture of her doing it, courtesy of Carl). Carl brings back to life an old friend, Maude, for joke tips.
When the senator's son is wanting to come and be a student at Lucky Junior High, Courtney sprints up her hand for the chance to show him around and be his guide. Once Courtney is given the nod to be allowed, she comes down with an awful cold called lobsterface, because she ate lobster, and the only person that can replace her is Ginger. Ginger wears all Courtney's clothes and act's like Courtney, until, she realizes how much of a snob she's been. Ginger rights a wrong and decides to be herself. Hoodsey comes down with a case of amnesia, and Carl tries to help him remember things that they used to do together.
While trying to celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah Ginger loses her holiday cheer. Hoodsey tries to prove to Carl that there is a Santa Claus.
The Sadie Hawkins dance is coming up and Ginger has trouble finding a date. Carl goes to great lengths to save a cow in need of a heart transplant.
