Summary

Despite George's best efforts (including substituting Elroy's secret code for her contest entry song), Judy wins a date with pop idol, Jet Screamer, who sings Judy's contest entry song, "Eep, Opp, Ork, Ah-ah!" which, despite its meaning in the song as "I love you," actually means "meet me tonight."
