6Teen - Season 1

Work pressures are getting to the gang and everyone's dying for a day off (yes, already). Jonesy scores a job at the amusement park and has the cure for their blues – he can get them all in free! They start planning their excuses so they can play hookie and ride the coasters all day long. Jen, however, doesn't want to risk losing her job. The gang thinks she needs a day off more than anyone, and plans are swiftly put in motion to break Jen out of The Penalty Box. Nikki and Caitlin become friends, and Jen survives getting caught with only probation - but Jonesy gets fired.

Caitlin's been slacking big time… she hasn't ordered lemons in ages, she ignores customers, and her lemonade just plain sucks. When Jonesy scores a job running a giant lime juice stand situated right across from The Big Squeeze, Caitlin thinks it's great… until his lime threatens to put her lemon out of business. Jonesy christens it "The Party Lime" and puts tons of elbow grease and "Lime-style" into the grand opening, and soon everyone's hanging out at his juice stand – including Caitlin. When her boss sees how low the profits are, he threatens to move the Lemon to a Strip Mall unless things change – fast. Will Jonesy take one for the team and deliberately get fired? Meanwhile, Wyatt has scored back stage passes to the Mighty Weasels Concert and Jude and Nikki are clamoring over one another to get Wyatt to choose them. Wyatt begins to enjoy the power…

Jen falls instantly in love with Coach Halder's son Corey, who has just started working at The Penalty Box. She goes on a date with him, only to find that he's horrifyingly similar to his dad. Yuck! She's got to get out of this – and fast. But Corey seems to be in love with her… and her friends warn her that she can't break up with him or she might lose her job. You can't dump the boss's son!!! But maybe if Jen is the WORST date in the world, she can convince Corey to dump HER… Meanwhile, Jonesy destroys a receiver in Stereo Shack and agrees to work off the damages. Unfortunately, the manager is a hard core Star Wars fan named Darth who Jonesy used to torture in middle school… and now Darth can taste the revenge. Jonesy gets humiliated… then fired.

Star Contest comes to the mall, and when Wyatt performs his original song about how awesome his friends are, he wins the regional finals. He gets his big break opening for Utility Pole, but the gang all miss the concert due to unforeseen circumstances (boys, sales, exploiting Wyatt's new fame…). Upset that they all ditched his show, Wyatt rewrites the words to his song at the last minute to reflect his feelings and tells everyone his friends suck. Suddenly the song has a life of its own and is playing all over the mall – and the gang have become pariahs in their own hood. Jonesy takes a job as Wyatt's manager, but gets fired. And Jude tries to instill a new "barter system" in the mall by paying for things with Stick It Kabobs and Gyros.

Christmas at the mall sucks: Line ups, impatient customers, and last-minute shopping is enough to drive anyone mad. Caitlin tries to get everyone psyched for Christmas. She has decorated the Big Squeeze and even planned a Chris Cringle gift exchange. But the whole gang is too wiped out by the Christmas rush to get into the mood and eventually even Caitlin gives up. When Jonesy (who gets fired from his Elf gig in Santa's Village) gets them all locked inside the mall after closing, however, the gang discover the true meaning of Christmas at the mall.

Jen is shocked when the gang reveals that they all "skim a little" off the top at work. A free drink here, free demo CD there… aren't they terrified that they'll get fired? But then Jen sees how incredible the new Leon Shreds boarding jacket at the Penalty Box looks on her. It's so hot that she scores a date with a guy who's never noticed her until she slipped that jacket on, but it's way out of her price range. When Coach throws her into the penalty box – again – Jen finally snaps and swipes the goods. She's feeling pretty hot until the jacket is discovered missing. Jen is terrified – she's got to get it back before they figure out who took it. Jude falls in love with a talking massage lounger and is convinced he's found his soul mate. Can the others convince him "Betty" is just a chair? Oh yeah, and Jonesy gets fired.

Nikki's sales pull sucks, and Chrissy's Manager-of-the-Month award is on the line. If she can't pull Nikki up to speed, she'll never get the title she's longed for. So she tries a little reverse psychology. By giving Nikki the Employee-of-the-Month award with all its perks, Chrissy attempts to turn her in to a full blown Khaki Barn disciple. Nikki finds herself getting sucked in with promises of a little respect (for once) and a gorgeous employee bathroom… until she remembers who she is and kicks the door down - literally. Meanwhile, Jonesy is hired as an undercover secret shopper by the mall to rate sales performance. He's shaking down the mall staff left, right and centre and loving every minute of it… until he gets fired.

Jen can't get the new guy's attention at work. She's tried everything short of throwing herself at his feet. Oh wait, she tried that too. Caitlin's brilliant plan is to send Jen to the famous Penalty Box Staff Party with a "fake date" – nothing makes a guy like you more than seeing that you're "unavailable". Jen takes Jude to the party but ignores him and he hits the free energy drinks – hard. The night is a complete disaster and Jen leaves without any dates, of the real or fake variety. Nikki and Jonesy (who is writing a book about how to score chicks) get trapped in the elevator together for 5 hours, and Jonesy gets fired by his publisher for missing his deadline.

Caitlin and Jen are beside themselves – Dog Sled Fiasco, the COOLEST boy band EVER, are coming to the mall to shoot their next live video and they're auditioning local kids to put one lucky fan in the video – on stage! Jen has had a mad crush on Jason, the lead singer, for EVER and Caitlin is in LOVE with all of them. They drag a reluctant Nikki to the auditions, but when Nikki actually gets the part, Jen is furious. Traitor! How could she, she HATES boy bands! Jen refuses to talk to Nikki – until she uncovers Nikki's deep, dark secret – she's a CLOSET BOY BAND FAN! The guys, for their part, can't STAND boy bands… and having been abandoned by the girls for Dog Sled Fiasco for the week, they resort to typical teenaged guy behavior. The girls have obviously had a tempering affect on them – without their influence, they run wild around the mall… and hilarity ensues. Jonesy gets a job as the mall mascot and gets fired.
