Work pressures are getting to the gang and everyone is dying for a day off. After scoring a job at the mall's indoor amusement park, Jonesy comes up with way to get rid of all their blues - he can get them all in for free! They start planning their excuses so they can get a day off and hang out at the amusement park all day long. One problem: work-a-holic Jen (the one who needs a day off more than anyone) doesn't want to risk losing her job. So the rest of the gang put their plans in motion to break Jen out of The Penalty Box. Nikki and Caitlin become friends, and Jen manages getting caught with only probation - Jonesy ends up getting fired.

Jen's going for her driver license and Jude, the only one with a valid permit to drive, is giving her some tips. At first she's timid, she's worse than an old lady driver...but after training at the virtual driving game in the arcade, Jen's a lean, mean, driving machine. After Wyatt loses his lucky jacket, he's convinced he's doomed to a life of bad luck. Caitlin has set out to prove to him that luck has nothing to do with your successes in life...or does it? Ask Jonsey...who just got fired again.

Christmas at the mall sucks: Line ups, impatient customers, and last-minute shopping is enough to drive anyone crazy. Caitlin tries to get the rest of the gang into the Christmas spirit and plans a Chris Cringle gift exchange. The gang is way too wiped out by the X-mas rush to get into the mood, and eventually Caitlin herself gives up. When Jonesy(who gets fired from his elf gig in Santa's Village) gets them all locked inside the mall after closing, the gang discover the true meaning of Christmas at the mall.

Caitlin's been slacking big time... she hasn't ordered lemons in ages, she ignores customers, and her lemonade just plain sucks. When Jonsey scores a job running a giant lime juice stand situated right across The Big Squeeze, Caitlin thinks it's great... until his lime threatens to put her lemon out of business. Jonsey christens it ""The Party Lime"" and puts tons of elbow grease and ""Lime-style"" into the grand opening, and soon everyone's hanging out at his juice stand - including Caitlin. When her boss sees how low the profits are, he threatens to move the Lemon to a Strip Mall unless things change - fat. Will Jonsey take one for the team and deliberately get fired? Meanwhile, Wyatt has scored back stage passes to the Mighty Weasels Concert and Jude and Nikki are clamoring over one another to get Wyatt to choose them. Wyatt begins to enjoy the power...

When Jen finally gets Caitlin a date with Kyle, the hot guy she's been crushing on, Caitlin has GOT to find the ""perfect outfit"". He always sees her in her dorky lemon hat - she wants to look extra-not-dorky tonight. After a desperate search for the perfect dress, Caitlin's ready to be the perfect potential girlfriend for this perfect date... but the ""perfect evening"" doesn't go quite as planned. Caitlin barfs sushi all over the dress, her date, Jonsey and Wyatt... and Jonsey gets fired. Meanwhile, Nikki gets her big chance to manage the Khaki barn for a day... and learns that the power trip over the clones (as fun as it was) just isn't worth losing your soul.

Jen is shocked when the gang reveals that they all ""skim little"" off the top at work. A free drink here, free demo CD there... aren't they terrified that they'll get fired? But then Jen sees how incredible the new Leon Shreds boarding jacket at the Penalty Box looks on her. It's so hot that she scores a date with a guy who's never noticed her until she slipped that jacket on, but it's way out of her price range. When Coach throws her into the penalty box - again - Jen finally snaps and swipes the goods. She's feeling pretty hot until the jacket is discovered missing. Jen is terrified - she's got to get it back before they figure out who took it. Jude falls in love with a talking massage lounger and is convinced he's found his soul mate. Can the others convince him ""Betty"" is just a chair? Oh, yeah, and Jonsey gets fired.

Jen falls instantly in love with Coach Halder's son Corey, who has just started working at The Penalty Box. She goes on a date with him, only to find that's he's horrifyingly similar to his dad. Yuck! She's got to get out of this - and fast. But Corey seems to be in love with her... and her friends warm her that she can't break up with him or she might lose her job. You can't dump the boss's son!!!! But maybe if Jen is the WORST date in the world, she can convince Corey to dump HER... Meanwhile, Jonsey destroys a receiver in Stereo Shack and agrees to work the damages. Unfortunately, the manager is a hard core Star Wars fan named Darth who Jonsey used to torture in middle school... and now Darth can taste the revenge. Jonsey gets humiliated… then fired.

Nikki's manager of the Khaki Store is feed up with her attitude, so thanks to a suggestion from Jonsey, she uses reverse psychology on Nikki and made her become Employee of the Month. And Jonesy is taking a job as a 'Secret Shopper' in order to get free stuff every time he inspects a store.

Star Contest comes to the mall, and when Wyatt performs his original song about how awesome his friends are, he wins the regional finals. He gets his big break opening for Utility Pole, but the gang all miss the concert due to unforeseen circumstances (boys, sales, exploiting Wyatt's new fame...). Upset that they all ditched his show, Wyatt rewrites the words to his song at the last minute to reflect his feelings and tells everyone his friends suck. Suddenly the song has a life of its own and is playing all over the mall - and the gang have become pariahs in their own hood. Jonsey takes a job as Wyatt's manager, but gets fired. And Jude tries to instill a new ""barter system"" in the mall by paying for things with Stick IT Kabobs and Gyros.

The Penalty Box staff party is coming up and Jen has a crush a new worker. When she fails to get his attentions, Jen turns to her friends for help. The plan? Jen'll find a person to be her date other than the new worker to make him jealous. And it turned out her date would be... Jude! Mean while, Nikki and Jonesy go to a movie together to learn a line from it. However, later on, they get trapped in an elevator.
