Madness's "One Step Beyond" plays in the background while Sam starts hurrying through the halls, his crotchal area covered with his hands and a digitally superimposed blue circle. Just then the class bell rings and the hallways fill with students. Sam's given up trying to cover himself with his hands, and he's just running scared now. We see Bill leaning out of the locker room with Sam's towel, calling out, "Sam? Alan's gone. It's all clear. You can come back now!" Too little, too late, Bill.
As Nick tells Lindsay he wants to talk to her, we see Sam and his blue circle run by in the background.
One dweeby guy calls out, "Streaker!" as Sam runs by, and Dweeb #2 shouts some encouragement: "Go, man, go!" Sam stops short as he sees his crush, Cindy Sanders, at her locker. He mouths the words, "Oh, no!" and manages to escape without her noticing him. Millie sees him, though, and makes the sign of the Cross. Sam eventually makes his way back into the gym, where Biff is still busy chatting up the other gym teacher. Sam hides his body behind the big-ass "Earth ball," and when Biff looks over, Sam shouts out, "What the hell are you looking at?"
Nick is telling Lindsay, "I just can't stop thinking about that kiss," and she is pleased. ["I thought she was uncomfortable, because he was all, 'It meant a lot to me,' and she was all non-committal, 'I'm glad.' I guess we'll see how it plays out over the next few episodes." -- Wing Chun] He suggests that they go out to the smoking patio. Lindsay is surprised because she thought he was fighting with the other freaks, but he just tells her the fight's over, and that they "fight like that all the time." Out on the patio, Kim is saying her mom wants to see the band play. Daniel says, "When she gets out of rehab?" Nick receives applause from them as he walks onto the patio with Lindsay. Daniel tells him, "Look, Dimension sucks, man. You're too good for them. I saw them open at the Cobo, and they got booed off the stage." As the male bonding continues, Kim whispers that she and Lindsay have to talk. "You are such a slut!" she stage-whispers, while rolling her eyes toward Nick, who is discussing the Ramones with Daniel: "But the Ramones only play like three chords, man!" Kim announces she has to pee, and she drags Lindsay off, saying, "I heard that you jumped Nick. You don't have to act innocent, Lindsay. I know you're a slut." I think Lindsay's reputation has just taken a turn for the better -- in the freak world, anyway.
