However, things take a surprising turn when Lizzie's longtime crush, Ethan Craft, asks her to be his partner for a school project.

As the day progresses and the duo work together, Lizzie begins to think that Ethan might actually like her back. She starts to become nervous and wonders whether she should tell him how she feels. Miranda advises against it, warning Lizzie that she might jeopardize their friendship if he doesn't feel the same way.

Meanwhile, Lizzie's little brother, Matt, is also dealing with some relationship issues of his own. He has a longstanding feud with a girl from his karate class, but when he accidentally steals her barrette during a game of dodgeball, he starts to feel guilty and realizes that he might actually like her. Matt and Lanny, his best friend, come up with a plan to apologize and return the barrette, but things don't go quite as they had hoped.

Back at school, Lizzie is still struggling with whether or not to confess her feelings to Ethan.

However, she soon discovers that Ethan has actually asked her as a friend and that he has a crush on a different girl at school.

Feeling embarrassed and rejected, Lizzie decides to pretend that she never had feelings for Ethan and tries to avoid him for the rest of the night. However, when they are forced to dance together, she realizes that they can still be friends and that there are plenty of other guys out there for her.

In the end, Lizzie realizes that it's better to have a good friend than to risk losing them over a crush. The episode ends with her and Miranda discussing their plans for the summer, excited about the adventures they will have together.
