Against All Odds

what happens

Emma decides it's time to move on in matters of the heart when she realizes she has feelings for new kid Chris. With some encouragement from Manny, Emma hooks up with Chris at a rave-- even though he has a girlfriend. But as Emma and Chris get closer, she realizes she can't be with him if he's still with someone else. Meanwhile Manny takes her own advice when she discovers that Craig's at the rave too – without Ashley. When Emma finds out how far Manny's willing to go to get what she wants, it's the final straw in their friendship. Spinner and Jimmy are both in trouble with their math grades so they ask Marco to tutor them during a Friday-night study session. Spinner's discomfort with Marco's homosexuality soon has him misinterpreting all of Marco's behaviour and he ends up convinced that Marco has a crush on him.
