The War Between Men, Women and Gidget
Gidget, Bret and their friends find an isolated cove at the beach. When Larry, Darcy and four of their friends arrive, war breaks out between the two groups. The girls of both groups accept Gidget's proposal that they refrain from dating the boys until they call a truce. Gidget leads the girls to the beach to accept the boys' surrender, but finds them with six new girls. Gidget finds that Patty Cromwell has made a play for Bret. Gidget borrows a hypodermic and goes to see Patty. Confessing defeat, Gidget gives Patty Bret's sweater and then offers her the hypodermic. Gidget tells her that Bret bravely conceals that he is suffering from a serious vitamin deficiency. Patty takes the needle, thinking it might some day mean the difference between life and death for Bret. Patty hovers over Bret, waiting for the worst to happen. Learning the reason for Patty's concern, Bret takes the needle and chases Gidget down the beach. Later, Bret tells Gidget he is actually suffering from a rare disease. At first Gidget swallows his story, but then realizes he's been putting her on. Gidget feels the score is more than even when Bret gives her his surfing trophy.
