Our Hero

Let's face it: a friend's untimely death can be cruel, innervating, and downright spooky. But it's nothing a little hallucination can't cure! As Kale struggles to cope with Gordon's death and searches for some meaning in it all, at a zine show Ross comes face to urinal with his long-time crush, George Lagogianes of CityTV.

Everywhere Kale looks, her life is haunted - no, stained - no, cursed, by ex-boyfriend, Bill. In a bid to escape toe constant reminder of his cheatin' heart, Kale and pals pile into her hand-me-down get-away car for a farm-party adventure. But it seems the car comes with more than a sticky stick-shift; it also comes with its own protester, a handsome-yet-maddening, Malachi. Meanwhile, Dad scrambles to save his marriage - again?!

After Kale receives a naked cowboy picture from one of her fans and then brings it to school to show her friends, she's accused of possessing pornography. Could things get any worse for her? Well, yes. Meanwhile, lonely Ross assembles his bile plot to end Mary-E and Dalal's constant public displays of affection.

When Kale joins Malachi's protest in the middle of a busy Toronto intersection, she's feeling really cool and dangerous in a stick-it-to-the-man, eco-guys-sure-are-hot sort of way. But will her royal screw-up prevent her from gettin' a little action? Not in our world! Meanwhile, Ross and Dalal try to avert disaster at school when naïve, well meaning, and deluded Mary-E plans a 'Niceness Day.'

Kale tries to rescue Bill's new girlfriend. Ethan conducts a comedy workshop. What, you wanted more from this description? This episode is comedy gold. You'll have to watch it to find out more.

Ever wonder what your parents were like before you were born? Yeah, so did Kale, and maybe you should take it from her: it's better to let those memories drift off on their little pyre down the Forgotten River than stir up old emotions and cringe-inducing album art. You can't handle the truth! Meanwhile, back at the b-story, Mary-E and Dalal's parents meet for the first time. Will it be a case of you say saviour, I say samosa?

This is the one where Kale wakes up the day after her eighteenth birthday in a strange motel room with a wicked hangover, a gun, and evidence of some kind of carnal relations. Remember that one? It has a nice twist.

We all have shameful moments in our lives, and Kale's hell-bent on making up for one of hers. But when Kale and Rollins volunteer at a pool, teaching swimming to children with special needs, wild animals weren't a part of the plan. Meanwhile, Ross gives left-wing Malachi a primer on conservative elitism. It's funnier than it sounds.

This is the hot episode, the one where Kale dances with Malachi at that party at Mary-E's house, and then other stuff happens, and she scandalizes everyone, including perhaps some audience members. But don't worry, she learns something in the end (though it may not be what you think).

Wow! Have you ever seen Kale so pissed off? Doubtful! Kale discovers a little something about Buddhism when she allows Malachi to work with her on her zine. Meanwhile, Joey tells one of Ethan's inappropriate jokes at the office and goes down like a lead misogynist.

If gaydar is like radar, sometimes the view can get clouded, by a low-lying nimbus or maybe by your own issues. As Kale and Ross try to determine Rollins' sexual orientation, they only prove one thing: Kale can embarrass herself like no one else; boys just don't care as much about toilet paper as girls; and karma just keeps on giving. Meanwhile, Ethan sells a joke to the Mike Bullard show and would be completely unlikable if things didn't turn out the way they do.

In this case, Kale should've hired a professional. Malachi gives Kale a tempting ultimatum. Ross must convince his grandparents to let him fix up their cottage for the summer. O.K. so we're being vague, but do you really want us to spoil the surprises? We didn't think so.

Baby squirrels, bad art, blood baths, brown paint, tightened airport security and the choice of a lifetime. All this plus more smooching and some really nice music! Kale says good-bye here and so do we.
