When Max makes fun of Becca and Christine for not having social lives, the girls decide something has to be done. Becca gets up the nerve to call a guy named Scott she knew at camp, and invites him to a movie that weekend along with a friend for Christine. Becca is both thrilled and terrified that she might get her first real kiss. Unable to stifle his curiousity and jealousy, Tucker convinces Miles that they should spy on the foursome at the theatre. He discovers he knows Scott from camp as well and that he's a real jerk. Becca gets mad at Tucker when he tries to interfere but when Becca discovers Scott's true personality and her allergy to it, she needs help from Tucker to escape from the jerk and Tucker is happy to oblige.

Tucker and Miles decide to try out for the soccer team and Tucker surprises everyone, even himself, with his natural talent as a goalie. Much to Jack's dismay, Tucker leads the team to victory in their first game. But when Tucker gets in trouble for grandstanding during a game, he gets kicked off the team. Meanwhile, Becca starts writing for the school paper and, in exchange for having her poetry published, is assigned to the loathed sports column. After a disastrous first attempt (she forgets to publish the scores), Becca learns the key to appreciating team sports from Tucker, who wants nothing more than to get back on the team.
