The Last Dance

(Editor's note: I'm going to attempt to write a fair review of this episode. But it's so hard because of that asshole Jeff, the manager at the Max).

The Bayside costume ball is this week, and Zack plans on being king. And he wants Kelly to be his queen. Bayside's first couple plans on going as Romeo & Juliet, but those costumes are really expensive. Kelly needs a job, but luckily there's an opening at the Max.

Cut to the Max. Kelly submits her application to the handsome new manager, Jeff. I instantly don't like him because he transferred from Michigan to UCLA. (Why would you do that? Looks like he'll be stuck as a restaurant manager the rest of his life). Anyways, he gives Kelly the job.

We're in Belding's office for the planning meeting. There's no extra money, so the gang's band offers to play for free. I wonder if they're any good? Anyways, Kelly claims she can't go to the dance because she has to work. What a heartbreak for Zack.

The band, cleverly named "Zack Attack" is practicing in the gym. Meanwhile, we find out that Kelly has a thing for Jeff. I smell trouble. Anyways, after work Jeff seduces and underage Kelly Kapowski, and they share a kiss.

Kelly starts acting weird, and Zack knows something is up. Besides, where could she meet anyone? She's at school, and the rest of the time she's at work with....Jeff! That bastard!

It's time for the dance. Zack Attack is rocking out. They're really good. So good that I bet Casey Kasem will profile them someday. Kelly is still acting weird. She's at the dance with Zack, but all she can think about is Jeff. And she's crowned queen along with her king Zack. Awkward. We have a Freudian slip when Kelly accidentally calls him Jeff.

They go outside for a talk while Zack Attack starts an awesome cover of the Michael Bolton classic "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?". Seems appropriate. Kelly doesn't know about her feelings, and breaks the hearts of everyone (including me). They share one last dance as I wipe the tears from my eyes.

QUOTES!

Belding: And don't forget, this year, no Mr. Belding costumes. Mrs. Belding gets easily confused. And oh..oh oh, all the boys who dress as girls must still use the boys room. Understood?

Kelly: Can we still be friends?

Zack: Forever.
