1-11 Recap	Looks And Books Looks And Books - Lindsay says that her parents are "insane" about the car and will not let her borrow it.

Then he leads her over to Daniel and Kim, who are, as usual, draped all over each other. Kim stops fondling Daniel long enough to ask if Nick and Lindsay are going out. Nick says he doesn't "kiss and tell." As he's saying this, he starts sliding his hand down Lindsay's back. At first I think he's going to grab her ass, but it's much, much worse.	01.16.2000 01.16.2000	A+	Cate

1-6 Recap	I'm With The Band I'm With The Band - Nick's in his basement with headphones on, playing along to Rush's "The Spirit of Radio." He's got lighting effects, he's got the dry ice, he's got showmanship and energy. But most importantly, he's got Geddy Lee to sing the lyrics while he lip-synchs -- it looks and sounds great. We see Nick's father come down the stairs, and the camera takes in the scene from the dad's point of view. Suddenly it's just a basement rec room again.	11.12.1999 11.12.1999	A+	Cate
