Ep 12. Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind

In the twelfth episode of the third season of Saved by the Bell, titled "Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind," the gang is tasked with working on a science project together. Despite their initial reluctance, they eventually warm up to the idea and start brainstorming their ideas.

Zack, Kelly, Slater, Lisa, and Screech all have vastly different ideas, but they manage to come together and create a unique invention - a computer program that can predict the future. The program determines what will happen to the user in the next 24 hours based on their daily routine and habits.

The gang is thrilled with their project and decides to test it out on a few of their peers. To their surprise, the program is eerily accurate, predicting everything from dropped lunches to forgotten homework assignments.

However, things take a turn for the worse when Lisa decides to test the program on a potential date. The program predicts that the date will be a complete disaster, causing Lisa to cancel. But after sharing the prediction with the guy, he is so insulted that he spreads rumors about Lisa throughout the school.

The gang goes into damage control mode, desperately trying to prove that the program is not foolproof and that Lisa is not "un-dateable." They work together to create a plan to discredit the program, with Zack taking the lead.

In the end, the gang successfully exposes the flaws in their invention and learns a valuable lesson about the dangers of relying too heavily on technology and predictions. They vow to never underestimate the power of human intuition and communication.

Overall, "Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind" is an entertaining and humorous episode that touches on important themes such as technology dependence and the power of human connection. Fans of Saved by the Bell will not want to miss it.
