Episode Summary
When Gravity 5's hangout is messy beyond repair, they start a bet that challenges each of them to give up their favorite habit and the last one standing gets to watch the others clean. Kacey has to go without texting, Stevie has to go without slamming people, Zander has to go without looking in a mirror, and Kevin and Nelson have to go without playing Furious Pigeons, their favorite game.
In science class, Stevie gets stuck with Molly and Grace as lab partners (complete with pink labcoats and fancy goggles!) and she almost can’t resist smarting off, but she devises a devious plot: to have the Perfs sabotage Kacey by getting a hot boy named Tony to send her a text. Elsewhere, Kevin and Nelson try to do the same to vain Zander while they try to make do with their homemade Furious Pigeons game. Pretty soon, the entire group is trying to make the other cave in while the hangout gets grosser and scary.
Kacey gets Zander out by letting him check what he has on his face with her mirror, Nelson and Kevin get out because they can't live without Furious Pigeons, so she only needs to get Stevie. Kacey gets Andy to gross Stevie out, but it doesn't work. Molly decides to go out with Tony herself since Kacey can't read her text message, so Stevie defends her by slamming Molly. After Kacey wins the bet, Kacey reads her text message, which says Tony wants to meet her at the other side of the school, but she can't make it in time, so Nelson and Kevin offer to catapult her over to the other side of school so she can make it to her date in time.
The episode ends with Gravity 5 singing "Go With Gravity".
