The next morning Jo wakes up with the others and they go downstairs and get breakfast started.
Natalie: So what time did you get back, Jo?
Jo: Late.
Blair: Eleven-thirty. She was with Derek the whole time.
Jo: Cool it Warner!
Natalie: The whole time! You left at four! What did you guys do?
Jo: Nothing, just hung out. Watched a couple movies.
Tootie: Sounds like fun.
Jo: It was.
Natalie: Are you seeing him again today?
Jo: He's only here for the weekend of course I am.
Blair: Jo, remember we have a history test on Monday.
Jo: So?
Blair: You have to study sometime.
Jo: I will, Sunday night.
Blair: Jo!
Jo: What? It's just over the American Revolution. Not hard.
Tootie: Yeah, we just got done with the American Revolution, too.
Jo: See, same as the seventh grade.
Natalie: So, is he cute.
Jo: Yeah, not too bad. Derek walks into the cafeteria
Derek: Hello, is anyone up? Jo, Natalie and Tootie rush to the kitchen door and Tootie and Natalie make it out first with Jo right behind them
Natalie: Wow.
Tootie: Holy cow.
Jo: Get out of the way! Pushes them aside and goes and gives Derek a hug and kiss I'll be back later. They walk out as Blair rushes in
Blair: Jo wait!
Natalie: They're gone. What's your problem today? Goes back into the kitchen
Tootie: Blair.
Blair: Yeah, Tootie?
Tootie: I know.
Blair: What do you know?
Tootie: I know that Jo had sex with Derek. Natalie rushes back in
Natalie: Jo had sex with Derek! That's why you didn't want them hanging out.
Blair: Great, thanks Tootie. Guys I don't know what to do about this? She'd kill me if she knew you guys knew, especially you, Tootie, how did you know?
Tootie: I wasn't asleep last night.
Blair: Obviously.
Natalie: Now what?
Blair: What do you mean?
Natalie: Jo could be pregnant. Now what do we do? Mrs. Garrett, do we tell her?
Blair: No, first off we don't know if Jo's pregnant, and until that's so…heck I just don't wanna tell her. Jo will kill me. And Derek would go to jail.
Natalie: Why would he go to jail?
Blair: He's eighteen.
Natalie: Jo's only fourteen.
Blair: Exactly. If he gets her pregnant, away he goes, not to mention away goes Jo's life.
Natalie: Yeah, raising a kid cant be easy.
Blair: Yeah there is a reason why we're supposed to wait.
Tootie: So Jo lied to Mrs. Garrett about his age, I can't believe she did that! Wait yes I can.
Natalie/Blair: Me too.
The weekend fads and so does half of the next week. It's Wednesday morning, Blair, Natalie, and Tootie are downstairs helping Mrs. Garrett with breakfast
Mrs. Garrett: Blair, go tell Jo to get her butt down here.
Blair: Okay, Goes upstairs and into the girls' room Jo, time to get up Mrs. Garrett needs you…and your not in here. Goes to the bathroom Jo? You in there?
Jo: Yeah. Come on in, Blair. Blair comes in and sees Jo sitting on the floor and Blair crouches down beside her
Blair: Are you okay? Have you been crying?
Jo: No and yes. I woke up feeling terrible, and I just got sick. Blair, what if I really did get pregnant?
Blair: Oh, my okay, tonight, after dinner you'll say your going to the arcade or wherever it is that you go, we'll go to the drugstore and pick up a pregnancy test.

Jo: Me too.
Twenty minutes later
Blair: It's time. Jo reaches for the test
Jo: Oh no! Drops the test and puts her head in her hands and cries and Blair goes over and hugs her and comforts her
Blair: It's okay. These tests are sometimes wrong… Jo gets up
Jo: It's right Blair, and you know it. I'm just going to head on back. Thanks for coming with me. Heads towards the door
Blair: I'll go too, I don't think we're supposed to be here anyway.
Back at Eastland in the lounge
Mrs. Garrett: Wow, you two are home early.
Jo: Yeah well nobody was at the arcade, it is a Wednesday.
Blair: And what was I thinking letting Chuck take me out…I should've known better.
Jo: Guys I'm really tired, I'm just going to go on to bed, night. She goes upstairs and lays down and cries into her pillow and when the other girls come in she fakes she's asleep so she doesn't have to answer a million questions and eventually falls asleep at about 3:30 am
The next morning Jo gets up with the other girls and gets downstairs first as to avoid questions from Natalie and Tootie for about ten more minutes. While in the bathroom Natalie and Tootie try to get information out of Blair
Natalie: Is something wrong with Jo?
Blair: How would I know?
Tootie: Stop denying it now we know you two tell each other everything now what's going on?
Blair: Ask her. She'd know more than I do. Finishes her make-up and runs into the bedroom and puts her uniform on and runs into the kitchen to find Jo
Jo: What's up with you?
Blair: They're asking questions!
Jo: Who? Mrs. Garrett? Oh, now, I haven't found a way to tell her yet!
Blair: Not her, Natalie and Tootie!
Jo: I can't tell them till I tell Mrs. Garrett! Tootie will tell her!
Blair: So are you going to go home this weekend?
Jo: Yeah, I'll tell Mrs. Garrett that day I get back.
Blair: You want me to keep this from all three of them all weekend!
Jo: Yeah, and your going to…aren't you?
Blair: You know I will.
Jo: Yeah, thanks. Now where's the nearest unoccupied toilet?
Blair: No clue, why?
Jo: I think I'm gonna be sick.
Blair: Um…okay…I got it the sink! Jo runs to the sink
Jo: How am I gonna do this for nine months? Runs the water trying to clean out the sink before anyone comes downstairs
Blair: At least next week you don't have to hide it.
Jo: Yeah. Jo gets the sink clean as Natalie and Tootie come downstairs
Tootie: Jo, what are you doing?
Jo: Washing my hands, is that okay with you?
Tootie: I guess so. Is everything okay?
Jo: Yeah, everything's perfect.
