Plot Adam, going through puberty and his final year of junior high school, tries to keep a long-distance relationship going with Dana, who has moved to Seattle with her family, and although she returns to town a few times, they agree things don't feel the same and they break up. High school senior Erica continues to think about college and applies to a few more places, and she rejects multiple advances from Barry's friend and JTP member Geoff Schwartz. The season ends with Adam graduating from 8th grade and Erica figuring out she has some feelings for Geoff ... only to find out he moved on to someone else instead.
