House Party

Screech's parents have left him with the house alone for four whole days. They're going to Graceland for their anniversary. And his mom left him with a long list of rules. But don't worry, they can still have some fun. According to Slater, they'll just do some guy stuff. Whatever that is.

I think this episode marks the debut of Violet Anne Bickerstaff, as well as her protective nerd boyfriend, Maxwell Nerdstrom. That is, her ex-protective nerd boyfriend. Anyways.

Cut to the Max. The girls (Violet included) are assembled and they hatch a plan to break into Screech's house to see what they're up to. And they are definitely up to something awesome...They're lip syncing "Barbara Ann" while sliding around the house. Bad ass. The girls are so impressed that they accidentally knock over Mrs. Powers' most prized possession: a bust of the King Elvis Presley. Screech faints, which leads to a...

Hazy pink dream sequence! Screech's mom is dead (because they broke the bust), and Belding is supposed to be Elvis. Screech feels awful for killing his mom.

The gang attempts to buy a new Elvis bust so no one will know the true, horrible secret. But a replica bust costs a whopping $250! They can never afford that. So they invite Maxwell over for a poker game, and he cleans up. Zack bets his last ten bucks, but Max raises his fifty! So they bet Screech's dog Hound Dog. Nerdstrom wins with four Kings, so he's got the dog, he's got the money, he's got everything, thank you!

The gang hatches a plan to get the dog back. Slater uses his muscles to intimidate Maxwell, but he has a state of the art bully alarm. Seriously. But Nerdstrom doesn't turn them in, and instead agrees to swap the dog for a date with Jessie. Meanwhile, Zack decides to have a party at Screech's and charge 5 bucks a head. The plan works. They have the dog back and also have enough money to buy a new Elvis bust. Everything is fine, right? Of course not.

Screech's parents are gone. And what the hell are all these people doing here? Zack convinces Screech's mom that it's a surprise anniversary party, and Zack saves the day by saving the King. How many times can Zack Morris save the day? He's like Superman, only not as gay.

I guess there were no stand out quotes today. Sorry people.
