[edit] Plot/Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The episode begins in health class. Coach Kelly is teaching Lizzie's class CPR. Ethan Craft must perform it upon Lizzie but he is so dumb he doesn't know how to do it. So Coach Kelly chooses Larry Tudgeman to perform it, much to Lizzie's despair.

After that class Lizzie is still shocked and rambles on about the CPR with Larry to Miranda. Gordo then arrives saying that they need to see the new movie "Vesuvius" what everyone is talking about but it just happens to be rated R. Miranda then tells Gordo about what happened to Lizzie in health class only for him to shout it out loud. Miranda then finishes the conversation by exclaiming "Nothing good ever happens in health class". They then run into Larry who is talking to someone saying that Vesuvius is actually better than Star Wars. He then makes a comment to Lizzie about what happened in health class.

After hearing Larry's comment they decide they must see Vesuvius. Lizzie gets home and tells her parents about the film. She thinks she can persaude them by saying that it's educatonal but she mentions that it's rated R. They instantly say no.

Matt comes home and tells his parents about his school is having a fair. Jo decides their stall could be a velcro-wall inwhich people can jump onto.

Meanwhile, Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda devise a plan to tell their parents they're going to play mini-golf when they are actually going to see Vesuvius.

When they arrive at the cinema they each take it in turns to act 17 years old to get the tickets. However, they all fail and decide to sneak in through the back. While buying snacks they encounter a man who is choking on a candy ball. Lizzie performs the heimlich monuveir she learned in health class and manages to save his life.

Soon the news arrive and Lizzie and her friends think it's great. But they realise they are going to be on TV and their parents are going to find out that they went to see Vesuvius. The cinema call Jo and Sam and they find out all about what happened at the cinema.

Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo arrive back at Lizzie's house and make many diversions and distractions to stop her parents from watching the news. Lizzie soon discovers that her parents already know.

Lizzie is grounded for 1 week and so is Miranda. However, Gordo is grounded for 2 weeks and must write a 5-paged essay on responsibility.

At the end of the episode Matt and Lizzie are both jumping onto the velcro-wall and it accidentally falls onto Sam.
