Zora gets challenged by the studio head's daughter, Dakota, to sell the most Blossom Scout cookies ever, and Sonny steps in to help Zora win. However, Chad helps Dakota sell more cookies as she threatens him to get her dad to close down Mackenzie Falls. It turns out that the scout master is Sonny's old Scout Master from Wisconsin, which gets Sonny scared because of memories of being rejected. Both of the teams try to sell the cookies by bribing the customers. At one stage Zora gets kicked out of the Blossom Scouts but knows how to wrap up a twisted ankle when the Scout master's leg gets hurt. Then she is offered her badge sash again. In the end, they tie, but there is one box left. Sonny, Zora, and Dakota want it, but Chad eats it, and chokes. Sonny saves him, and she gets her merit badge that prohibited her from becoming a Blossom Scout ever since she was eight years old. Then, while trying to hold back Dakota and Zora, Sonny and Chad start arguing, which leads to them literally fighting with Zora holding Sonny back and Dakota holding back Chad. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady come up with a scent to attract girls (which attracts a few too many), and Tawni promises not to look in the mirror for two days, which at first makes her slightly eccentric, then daunting, and then she looks like The Joker. Guest Starring: G. Hannelius (Leo Little's Big Show) as Dakota, Patricia Bethune as Mrs. Montecore, Madison De La Garza as Young Sonny. Note: Dakota, who is the daughter of Mr. Condor, who stars on "Sonny and the Studio Brat" is back with Chad.

When Sonny and Tawni are guests on "Gotcha with Gilroy Smith," they are excited at first. But then Gilroy shows them the promo, saying he hopes the girls will reveal something personal and embarassing. To prevent this from happening, they make a pact backstage to have each other's back so that neither of them will get embarassed. But Tawni then breaks the pact after Gilroy shows a backstage footage of her and Sonny making the pact. As the show continues, Sonny's mind wanders and she starts to think about Chad Dylan Cooper after Gilroy says, "Do they, Sonny? Do they really?" which is Chad's catchphrase. Sonny starts to think about the time when she danced with Chad for about 10 seconds at the prom ("Promises, Prom-misses"). Gilroy sees her expression, can tell she's thinking about a boy, and starts questioning her on some of the boys she associates with and her feelings toward them. When he brings up Chad Dylan Cooper, and when Sonny seems to be nervous about it, he brings Chad onto the show. Gilroy shows rare footage of Sonny and Chad from episode 2 ("West Coast Story"). Afterwards, Sonny pulls Chad backstage, completely unaware about the fact that Gilroy has a hidden camera backstage and he's showing it to the audience. Tawni, who remembers all the things Sonny has done for her and doesn't want Sonny to get embarrassed in front of everyone, turns off the screen right before Sonny and Chad tell each other how they really feel. We don't hear them say they like each other, but it is assumed that they do like each other, based on what they say before and after Tawni turns off the screen (and how they acted towards each other ealier in the season). Gilroy grabs the remote back and turns the T.V. back on. We see Sonny talking to Chad ("That was...so much easier to say than I thought it would be.") and then she walks away. Guest Star: Eric Toms as Gilroy Smith Note: This episode is the first season finale. US viewers: 3.735 million
