Episode 11 (1x11)

Air date: Sep 24, 2011

Ally’s school is holding a ‘formal’ dance and she’s not looking forward to it. The whole idea of getting dressed up for an event she doesn’t want to attend is bad enough but even worse, she doesn’t have a date. Emma and Jackie promptly go into match making-mode, persuading a surprised Dan to ask her. Before Ally knows it, she’s backed into a corner that she can’t get out of and has no option but to unenthusiastically accept Dan’s invitation. In spite of Jackie and Emma’s enthusiastic support, Ally becomes increasingly convinced that the event ahead has all the hallmarks of turning into a major disaster. Come the big day and a very nervous Dan arrives to meet a very reluctant Ally. Things suddenly take a dramatic turn however when the Henson’s prized stallion escapes into the bush. Instinctively, Ally and Dan –still formally dressed for the dance – rush to the stables and jump onto the two nearest horses. Eventually they track the stallion down but at the expense of trashing of their clothes and being late for the dance. It’s not the best way to prepare for an evening out but it certainly puts the relationship of Ally and Dan onto a new and interesting level.
