In the episode where Zack dates female wrestler Kristy Barnes, why does their blossoming relationship come to an abrupt end?
Kristy develops a stronger interest in Slater
Kristy's military father is transferred to another base
Kristy saves Zack from an antagonistic bully
ANSWER: Things were going swimmingly for the cute couple until an ill-fated encounter with a rival wrestler from Valley requires Kristy to come to (helpless) Zack's aid at the Max. Zack was emasculated by the incident, and decided to break things off. During his pitiable rationalization, he pathetically implores her- "Why wouldn't you let me fight that guy at the Max?" They ultimately mended fences and resumed dating.

ANSWER: North Beach is the primary competitor of Malibu Sands during those hot summer days. The other three answer options are all sections of San Diego. I was once a proud Pacific Beach resident.

When Kelly first meets Jeff when she's applying for a job at the Max, where does Jeff say he attends college?
Cal State Dominguez Hills
ANSWER: Jeff claims to have transferred from Michigan, and says he's currently a sophomore at UCLA. I never did learn to trust that weasel though, so who knows if he was honest about that.

The Slater family seems to love initials. What are Slater's sister's initials in the episode where she comes to visit, and ends up dating Zack (much to Slater's chagrin)?
ANSWER: I know the first name is Jaime, but I can't recall the second. I'm not sure it's ever mentioned. Can anyone help me out there? By the way, JB, who is the "kid sister" of supposed high school student A.C., looks as if she's about 35. I know the first name is Jaime, but I can't recall the second.

Zack includes subliminal messages on which band's tape, so that Kelly will go to the Sweetheart Dance with him, instead of Slater?
Johnny Dakota's All-Star Band
ANSWER: The kids learn about subliminal advertising in class, and Zack applies that learning to his own devious ends by first brainwashing Mr. Belding, then Kelly. It all backfires, unsurprisingly, when the girls discover what's going on and Belding plays a decoy Bo Revere tape over the loudspeaker and all the girls in school, Slater, and Mr. Belding all come on to him.

During student-teacher week, Zack is acting principal; Screech and Lisa teach gym; and Kelly teaches which class?
ANSWER: Slater and some of his football buddies skip one of Kelly's tests because they don't take her position seriously. Zack first attempts to remedy the situation by banning tests altogether, but eventually does the right thing and suspends the insubordinate players who skipped Kelly's test from the big game against Valley. The players take a make-up test DURING the game, and come out in the second half to beat Valley 28-21.

When Jessie and environmentally impassioned Graham enjoy a brief dalliance, they initially are drawn together in idealistic protest of which of the following events?
Oil-drilling on school grounds
The kidnap of Valley's mascot
The delivery of styrofoam cups to the cafeteria
Caged animals in the science lab
ANSWER: In the classic Cut-Day episode, Slater skips school and hangs out with Kelly, while Jessie pals around with Graham in and effort to save the environment. Slater and Spano eventually realize they might need a break, and separate amicably at the conclusion of the episode. Zack's efforts to cut classes all day under the watchful eye of Mr. Belding surely are the stuff of legend by now.

After Jessie threatens every girl in school (on point of death) not to bid on Slater at the Date Auction, because she believes the whole concept to be sexist (of course), who ends up bidding on the hapless hunk out of sympathy?
ANSWER: Kelly steps up to the plate because Slater looks "humiliated" on stage. The only truly humiliating part of the whole fiasco, incidentally, was how many muscle-flexing postures A.C. had to assume just to sell himself to about 12 teenage girls. [I don't believe this image is from that episode. But it foreshadows A.C.'s future career as a reality TV dance icon.] Kelly steps up to the plate because Slater looks "humiliated" on stage.

Everyone knows that Jessie's stepbrother Eric's arrival from New York turned out to be a nightmare for the gang, but do you know what Zack offered up to bribe Lisa into dating Eric when they were planning to set him up?
The use of Slater's car for a trip to the movies
Mets/Dodgers playoff tickets
ANSWER: There is a lot to explain from this very special two-part episode, so I'll just trust everyone to watch the reruns to reacquaint themselves with the particulars of the case.

What is the "secret" in Screech's secret spaghetti sauce?
The recipe is right out of the Betsy Crocker cookbook
The recipe was stolen from the kitchen at the Max
The recipe is Mrs. Belding's
A chemical compound Screech produced in chemistry class
ANSWER: The recipe is right out of the Betsy Crocker cookbook. No, that is not a typo or misspelling. A Betsy Crocker (not Betty) representative arrives on school grounds and threatens to sue Screech- throwing a serious legal wrench is Zack's plans to mass-manufacture the sauce. The tagline for the sauce was "The sauce you can have, but the secret, she's-a-mine." The recipe is right out of the Betsy Crocker cookbook. No, that is not a typo or misspelling.

Why does Zack convert the video yearbook into a Girls of Bayside Dating Video?
To earn money to buy a car
To pay off a gambling debt to Slater
To replace a fender on Mr. Belding's wife's car
ANSWER: To those of you who are as concerned about Zack's automotive independence as I am, it's positively perplexing how many times he tries to raise money for a car. The chronology of show is as spotty as the plotlines are incoherent. Zack needs a car, he has a car, he needs a car, he's shown in a car on a date, he needs a car. It's a vicious cycle. Boggles the mind.
