"Sense and Senselessness" is the second segment of the fifty-third episode of Pepper Ann. It aired on September 9, 2000 on ABC's One Saturday Morning block.

Synopsis[]

Pepper Ann uses a relationship book to figure out which of her three admirers she wants to take to a party.

Plot[]

For an upcoming dance, Nicky has things prepared with Stuart, Milo is already planning to ask Gwen out and Pepper Ann is strategizing for Craig to ask her. Pepper Ann suddenly gets a note from Joaquim Sanchez, who had mistaken her for Didi O'Shaunassy, and accepts a date with him to a restaurant that turns out well. Later, she gets asked out by fellow soccer player Bud to a monster truck rally and she goes out with him too. Finally, she is asked by Craig for a quick get together at the JavaNutt.

Pepper Ann is confused about why she was asked out by three different boys and Nicky points out how confident she has become and tells her to read up on how to handle it. She picks up a book that Lydia had called Men Are Like Cars, Women Are Like Tennis and begins to simultaneously test the three by having them do tremendous things for her. Eventually, all three boys find out and furiously dump her. Nicky discovers the book she was reading and informs her that the book was used as a prop for the Adamant Eve convention.

Pepper Ann tries to apologize to Joaquim and Bud who both cut her off while she has her father send a message to Craig via blimp, though she does not know if he got it. Pepper Ann and Milo, who had been turned down by different women, both end up going together. Milo runs into Gwen who reveals that she got the wrong ideas from the same book as Pepper Ann and the two begin to dance. Pepper Ann runs into Craig who saw her apology and admitted that he could not stay mad at her and resume their relationship.
