2	2	"West Coast Story"	David Trainer	Michael Feldman Steve Marmel	February 8, 2009 (2009-02-08)	104
Sonny meets Chad Dylan Cooper, the star of "MacKenzie Falls" and is starstruck until she realizes that "MacKenzie Falls" and "So Random!" are rivals even involving a parking space and a toilet paper holder which was actually a Tween Choice Award "MacKenzie Falls" had won two years ago and Chad mocked "So Random!" while speaking his acceptance speech. Sonny decided to hold a peace picnic to dissolve the rivalry which backfires and has the entire So Random! cast members stuck to their seats. That is, until Grady gets out, along with his pants being ripped off and his underpants being all over the internet. And if that wasn't bad enough, Sonny's salad gets thrown into the air and into her face, and it's also a repeat in the internet as well. Angry, Sonny challenges Chad to a Musical Chairs competition, where the stakes are that So Random! would have to say something nice about "MacKenzie Falls", keep the toilet paper holder and let them use the infamous parking golf cart space. "So Random!", if they won, which they do when Sonny tricks Chad with a fake injury, would have "MacKenzie Falls" say something good about their show, give back the toilet paper holder and the parking space. At first, Chad says a definite no, but Sonny imitates a chicken to get him frustrated. After Chad asks her to join them on their show (saying that Portlyn would magically disappear after a mysterious ballooning accident), complimenting her on her great acting skills, she declines the offer. Chad later says "So Random!" is his favorite show as part of the agreement. Note: A clip of Sonny and Chad in this episode is later used against them in "Sonny: So Far". Supposedly someone on Mackenzie Falls taped it and sent it to the talk show that Sonny and Chad guest starred on to humiliate Sonny, and possibly Chad. So Random! sketches: "Fasty's Really Fast Food" - A restaurant-based sketch where the food items ordered and mentioned are thrown abruptly at the customers. Sonny and Tawni play customers, Grady plays fast food worker and Nico as manager. "Madge the Waitress" - Sonny dresses up as a fat waitress with a Brooklyn accent who takes people's orders.

Sonny dresses up as Eric, with a fake beard, a hoodie, and two broken arms. Tawni pulls "Eric" into her dressing room. Right then, Josh, the mail man, walks in and hands Tawni some of Sonny's fanmail. Tawni stuffs it under her seat cushion, and it turns out she had been hiding fanmail from Sonny all along which was committing the act of Mail Fraud. Sonny gets upset and pulls off her disguise. Tawni finds out that Sonny is pretending to be her own fan, and suggests to Marshall that Sonny should meet Eric on stage after the So Random! shooting in front of a live audience. Chad also finds out that Sonny is Weird Beard (Chad and Josh's nickname for Eric) and decides to help Sonny out by dressing up as Eric, showing that he cares about her.

Tawni tells Sonny to cheat but she refuses so she recruits Zora to help her, but is too preoccupied on the "Check It Out Girls" to pay attention. Zora gives up and Sonny ends up writing the answers on her hand, but when she is about to take the test, she hears the word like "cheat" or "cheating" whenever she hears a word that rhymes with "cheat" or "cheating" so she confesses. Marshall then bans Sonny and Tawni from the Check-It-Out girls sketch because Sonny almost cheated and Tawni told Sonny to cheat until they retake and pass the test without cheating.

Sonny tries to help Tawni have a good date with an intern Hayden (Robert Adamson). Sonny begs Chad for Laker Tickets for herself, Tawni, and Hayden which she got after saying three nice things about him. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady try to create a sandwich to be named after, after seeing the sandwich Chad got named after. At the date, Tawni leaves for a moment and the kiss cam zooms in on Sonny and Hayden. Under the pressure, Sonny and Hayden are forced to kiss, making Tawni furious. Chad gets upset because he trusted Sonny to use his tickets "responsibly", but instead he saw the kiss on "Tween Weekly" magazine. Both Chad and Tawni blames Sonny so to make it up to Tawni, Sonny gets her a second chance with Hayden. Hayden wants the date to be a home cooked meal at Tawni's apartment. Since Tawni doesn't know how to cook and uses her kitchen as a closet, the date will be at Sonny's and Sonny will cook the meal. At the apartment, Sonny's oven is not working, so Nico and Grady sends over sandwich to serve. Not only that, but Sonny drops her phone down the drain and Tawni accidentally destroys it by turning on the garbage disposal and then Sonny's phone somehow calls Chad, Tawni loses her contact lens when the sandwich hit her, and Sonny gets locked out after Hayden comes in to the kitchen. Nico and Grady come into the apartment to help Sonny get back in. Chad breaks open Sonny's door and accidentally damages it when he heard a phone call from Sonny (this happened when her phone went down the drain). Then, Sonny gets back in and Tawni tells Hayden the truth. In the end, Nico, Grady, Hayden, and Chad all end up retching because they ate the sandwich Nico and Grady accidentally left out in the sun for 12 hours. Then Sonny's new blarmie end up with a gross sandwich that Tawni retched on when it showed up in the mail at Sonny's apartment.

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.

21	21	"Sonny: So Far"	Eric Dean Seaton	Michael Feldman Steve Marmel	November 22, 2009 (2009-11-22)	121
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 embarrassing. To prevent this from happening, they make a pact backstage to have each other's back so that neither of them will get embarrassed. 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 earlier 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 season 1 finale. US viewers: 3.735 million
