None of the BSG can get a date for the valentine dance, finally most of them do, but after the dance Charlotte gets an unexpected pleasant surprise from Nick. ( )

The Valentine's Day dance is coming up, and the Beacon Street Girls all look forward to going.

Maeve especially wants everything to be perfect and romantic, and dreams of snagging the popular Dillon as her date. Avery, on the other hand, couldn't care less who she goes with - she only wants to hang out with the girls and have a good time. Charlotte knows that Nick Montoya will ask her, but he seems to be taking an awfully long time getting around to it, and now she's starting to worry...

Tension rises when all of Maeve's efforts to get Dillon's attention fail...and he seems to have eyes for Avery instead. Avery can't figure out what all the fuss is about, since she and Dillon are just good friends, after all. And as Charlotte decides to take the reins herself and just ask Nick to the dance, she gets even more discouraged when she sees how much time he's spending with classmate Chelsea instead.

Isabel finds out that she may have to miss the dance altogether, due to a prior commitment to a friend, and, for all of Maeve's attempts to turn Dillon's head, she may be missing out on a potential romance that's just waiting for her to notice it.

As usual with this series, the most complicated situations turn out not to have the most picture-perfect solutions, but wind up being just as satisfying, proving that, although one might not always get what one wants, they can still be happy and satisfied with an unexpected outcome. ( )
