Its been years since Zack, Screech, Slater, Jessie, Kelly and Lisa left Bayside High. Now some new students have arrived--Scott, Weasel, Tommy D., Megan, Lindsay and Vicki. In this first episode, a date auction is held to raise money, but new transfer student Scott Erickson from Valley High persuades Weasel to hack into the computer to switch the date names.

Fed up with being laughed at by the football team, Weasel kicks the soccer net and gets a chance to be on the football team. Scott fixes Megan, Lindsay and Vickis battle for a single varsity cheerleading spot.

Scott signs up to get on the air at the schools radio station, hoping to attract the girls. But they all ignore him when they hear Weasel, who is giving advice on love and romance under the name ""Dr. Luv.""

Weasels pen-pal Natalie comes to Bayside and joins the band, as do Scott and Tommy D, hoping to win a trip.

As a class project, some of the Bayside students try their hand at operating the Max, but they nearly run it out of business. Then Scott takes over the management, much to Vickis happiness.

Mr. Belding and Screech are summer managers at the Palisades Hills Country Club. Screech promptly hires the gang from Bayside to work there for the summer, and they just as promptly incur the wrath of Mr. Harrington, the clubs manager. Screech falls for Mr. Harringtons daughter Alison.

Megan is running a blood drive and while contributing to it, Screech falls for the pretty nurse Penny Brady. Meanwhile the gang needs to find a chaperone for their camping trip. Brian comes up with a scheme to get Screech to do the job, but first he must get him a date with Nurse Brady.

In an effort to make Rachel jealous and stop her from thinking about her missing boyfriend David, Brian begins hanging out with the clubs pretty tennis instructor, Karen. Also, the Bayside gang competes in a ""tip-athon,"" the winner of which will get double his or her earnings.

Rachels boyfriend from college David arrives at Palisades Hills. Now Rachel must choose between him and Brian. Also, Screech takes on the task of making a promotional video for the Country Club.

The male staff is up for bids at the annual charity auction at the Country Club. Rachel, hoping to avoid her recent romantic entanglements, purchases a nerd. Alison buys Brian, making Screech jealous. Megan gets stuck with Bobby. Tommy hopes he and Lindsay dont win the prize, a balloon ride, because he doesnt want her to know hes afraid of heights.

Palisades Hills annual ""Christmas in July"" celebration is here, and Screech, Bobby and Tommy D are worried about what gifts they should get for Alison, Mr. Harrington and Mr. Belding, respectively. Megan protests the swimsuit portion of the Snow Queen pageant.

As the Farewell Dance approaches at the Country Club, Rachel is sad to be leaving and Megan cant find a date. Bobby wants to date Michelle, a rich club member, so he concocts phony stories about his wealth. Screech faces a dilemma when Alison is accepted at the Julliard School of Music while he is set to return to Bayside.

The gang goes to Screechs Uncles dude ranch. They make friends with his cousin who picked on Screech when they were little. Gold fever hits the gang when they learn about a treasure.

Lindsay cant afford to buy a birthday present for Tommy, so Brian and Bobby get ahold of the schools video equipment so she can make a video for a present. Meanwhile, Brians sister Katie, and Tommy are falling for each other. Lindsay and Tommy are looking at the end of their relationship.

Mr. Belding leads the kids on a school-sponsored skiing trip. When they get to the lodge, Brian is more interested in hitting the slopes than being with Rachel, and Lindsay meets a college guy shes attracted to. The girls are invited to a frat party, and they go. While there, Lindsay is offered a beer and ends up drinking too much. The boys come looking for the girls and Tommy D starts drinking also. He and a girl he met take off on a snowmobile.

Rachel must get a ""B"" on a test or she cant go to the Bayside Ball with Brian. Brian sees a copy of the test and tells Rachel what she should study. She makes the ""B,"" but now she thinks she doesnt have to work hard for good grades. Also, Mr. B is doing a performance evaluation of Screech. Screech enlists the kids to help him look good, but his plans keep backfiring.

Baysides 40th birthday celebration is in full swing. Bobby is running for homecoming ""king"" against Rachel, whos running for queen. A millionaire alumnus, J. Walter McMillan, comes to tour the school. He plans to buy Bayside and tear it down for condo construction. The gang are all reassigned to different schools. Screechs work program will come to an end and Mr. Belding will be looking for a job. Screech and the kids resolve to stop McMillan. Screech disguises himself as attorneys for both sides and the gang chain themselves to lockers, but nothing works. The school is slated to be destroyed after the prom.

The students are depressed about Baysides closing and cant get very excited about the prom. Mr. McMillan shows up and says he now plans to tear down the school even before the prom is held. Desperate to stop him, Rachel is disguised as ""Nurse McGillicuddy"" and the kids fake an outbreak of ""Swiss measles,"" for which a phony quarantine is set up. The prom is back on. The gang finds out that Mr. McMillan was a lonely guy at Bayside, with only one friend, a girl named Sandy Bennett. They locate Ms. Bennett but she cant come to Baysides 40th prom because of a previous engagement with her nephew. The prom has a 1959 theme. Former Bayside High students Lisa Turtle and A.C. Slater show up, then Zack Morris arrives with Ms. Bennett, who it turns out is his aunt. McMillan is reunited with his old friend and she convinces him to abandon his plans to tear down Bayside.

Maria and the others are trying to win tickets to the Grungefest from the radio station, but Lindsay wins them on her first try! Tommy has told Lindsay that he wants to get back together with her, so she must choose between him and Ryan. The girls hold a slumber party to help Lindsay decide. Tommy borrows some high-tech communication equipment that Screech has bought for the school and he plans to bug Lindsays room. Ryan has the same idea, though, and he gets R.J. to help. Eventually all the boys end up hiding in Lindsays closet or under her bed. A few more misunderstandings occur until Lindsay finally decides to go to the show with Maria.

Lindsay is nominated for Homecoming Queen, and so is Maria, even though she really doesnt want it, but she soon becomes competitive. Mr. B asks Rachel to help tutor star football player Todd Green to keep him eligible. She finds that Todd can grasp things she tells him very well, but he has great difficulty reading. An attraction develops between Todd and Rachel. Meanwhile, the Homecoming Queen campaign has gotten heated with Ryan and Tommy working for Lindsay and R.J. becoming Marias manager. The campaign gets dirty when Maria is accused of being a Valley High ""traitor."" Todd fails to complete the test hes been studying for. Rachel tells Mr. B. about Todds problems. The principal suspects Todd might have a form of dyslexia. Todd is mad at Rachel at first but things get straightened out and Todd passes a verbal makeup test. Lindsay and Maria stop the dirty campaigning and vow that whoever wins will give the crown to the other girl. Who wins? Rachel, as a write-in!

Screech takes the gang on a tour of his alma mater, Cal U., where it seems his old fraternity brothers arent very interested in him, but are interested in the girls. One of the guys, Michael, make plays for both Maria and Rachel. Tommy, Lindsay and Ryan sit in on a psych class and get hypnotized, which results in Lindsay and Ryan being attracted to R.J. and Rachel, respectively, while Tommy goes for...Mr. B! Screech is down about being forgotten by his old buddies, so Ryan concocts a plan to make him popular by pretending that R.J. is a star football recruit. The guys buy this and try to get R.J. to join their fraternity. When R.J. tells them his hero is Screech, they plan to make Screech fraternity president. Screech is so impressed he wants to quit his Bayside job and return to Cal U. But everything is revealed at a phony ceremony for Screech, including Michaels two-timing of Maria and Rachel.

R.J. catches the eye of a talent agent, Gavin Malone, who promises to make him a big star. But R.J. is the one forking out the money, giving the agent hundreds of dollars for photos and ""expenses.""

Meanwhile Mr. B. and Screech find out the TV show is planning to fake an earthquake on the air and they pull the plug. Ryan plans to expose the agent. He has R.J. tells Malone that hes dumping him for a new agent, ""Hal E. Wood,"" who is in reality Screech.

But Carl, Valeries older (and bigger!) brother, threatens to pound R.J. if he gets out of line with his sister. Lindsay decides to go to the Prom with Tommy and breaks the news to Ryan. But later on a date, it seems to Tommy that all Lindsay wants to talk about is Ryan. Later Tommy overhears Lindsay talking about going to the Prom with Ryan instead.

The girls gymnastic team, featuring star performer Lindsay, should be going to the state finals, but they dont have the money and the coach has quit. Ryans schemes to pump up attendance and generate money include letting it ""slip"" on R.J.s radio show that Michael Jordan will attend the girls next meet! (Mr. B. make him refund the money.) In practice, Lindsay sprains her ankle. When it comes to rehabilitation, shes afraid to put herself through a full workout. Lindsay tells Ryan that she doesnt want to take any risks and she wont compete in the finals. Tommy leads the football players on strike in support of the girls team. Screech talks to Lindsay and he tries to straighten her out. At the semi-final meet, the stands are full. Maria and Rachel both get excellent scores for their routines, then just in the nick of time, Lindsay arrives in uniform. She scores a ""10"" in her event. Bayside wins the meet and will go to the state finals.

Screech thinks hes won the lottery.
