Synopsis
With Kelsey Lawrence sick, Cody and Shawn are left unsupervised at school. Libby Harper and Missy Robinson, two cute girls in their class, seem to flirt with Cory due to what Shawn calls "The Scent." When Mr. Feeny assigns a group project and prevents Cody and Shawn from working together, Cody decides to work with Missy Robinson to avoid Trini, Topanga's annoying best friend and project partner. During lunch, Missy calls Cody over so they can sit together. After telling Cody of her new moisturizer, she invites Cory to a party she's throwing that night and tells Cody to bring Shawn. Cody feels guilty, and decides to ask Topanga if he can go.

At Kelsey's house, Cody is surprised to see Trini there. After she leaves, he tells Kelsey about his day. She already knows that Cody is partners with Missy Robinson (because Trini told her) and she is okay with it. She also says he can go to the party, but he promises to return to her house with ice cream by 9:00.

Missy's party is not exactly what Cody and Shawn expected. Only Missy and Libby Harper are there, and all they want to do is make out. Libby easily lures Shawn away, leaving Cory and Missy alone.

After a while, Missy grows impatient and tries harder to seduce Cody. She points out it's after nine, and Cody panics, then rushes to a phone to call Kelsey. Missy refuses to let him leave and kisses him, then immediately kicks him out when her father arrives home. Apparently, he doesn't allow her to have boys over and she gives him a detailed escape route.
