Karen & Jagger #4  April 28 - July 23, 1993 - 8 hour original edit

DVD #4A  After Rhonda leaves, Karen tells Jagger that her mom has no clue what a real relationship is about as all Rhonda has ever dated is losers. Jagger says that if Rhonda has never really been in love, the good kind, that she can’t understand. He suggests maybe Rhonda has just been trying to make “bad love” work, and maybe she is just jealous of Karen’s relationship with Jagger as she has never had it. Karen thinks Jagger is on Rhonda’s side as he is trying to defend her. Jagger tell her that she is lucky to have someone who loves her. He tells her that once she loses that, she can never get it back.

Karen is distracted and Jagger is curious where her mind is. She tells him her and her mom argued last night. Jagger sees how down she is and tries to cheer her up. He asks her to close her eyes and think back to a time when she liked her mom, a happy memory.

Jagger advises her to just ignore Brenda. Frank comes into the gym and Jagger confronts him. Jagger calls him a coward for beating up Rhonda. Marco tries to intervene, but Frank tries to punch Jagger but he dodges the punch and really lets him have it. 

When Frank is knocked down, Jagger tells him that is for beating up Rhonda. Marco sees Jagger’s boxing skills and demands that he sign up for an upcoming tournament. Marco tells Karen this is why he doesn’t want her in the gym, that it isn’t a safe place for girls. Marco goes over to Jagger and tells him that Frank is not only a real fighter but in a higher weight class than Jagger would be and he is very impressed with him.

She grabs her computer and gives him a tutorial. Brenda listens in at the door. Brenda enters and is curious about his interest in computers given that he doesn’t have one. He gets defensive and leaves, this of course peaks Brenda’s curiosity.  

6/2  Jagger returns to the school to break into the computer to look for his sister's file. Brenda follows him, she tells him obviously he is up to something. He pretends innocence. She wants to know what information he wants out of the junior high’s computer system? She asks him to tell her and says that she can help him, after all she knows a lot more about computers than he does. He tells her that he is looking for a friend. Jagger insists he doesn’t need her help but is stumped when he sits down and sees the password prompt. They hear a janitor singing and hide in the closet. Brenda enjoys being thisclose to Jagger. He is obviously uncomfortable and she teases him if he was too hot in there? They figure out the password and Brenda helps Jagger break into the school computer. He asks her to look up Gina Cates. She realizes he is looking for his sister. Brenda pulls up her file and a happy Jagger embraces her. Back at Kelly’s, Karen paces, worried about Jagger.

He doesn’t mention Brenda’s part in it. Jagger tells Ruby about his excitement over finding his sister, cute flashbacks. 

6/7 Brenda overhears Karen proudly telling Ruby how Jagger found his sister all on his own. Brenda gloats to Karen about helping Jagger find his sister. Karen doesn’t believe her so Brenda tells Karen all about her and Jagger breaking into the principal's office to get his sister's records, including them hiding in the closet together. Before Brenda leaves to go prom dress shopping, she tells Karen not to worry about it that eventually she is sure that Jagger will tell her the truth.

Jagger finds Gina at her private school. Gina tells Jagger it is too late, too much time has passed and she has a real family now. Gina tells Jagger it has been five years and a lot has changed, she has a real family now. She tells him that Mike stole from her family and she doesn’t want anything to do with him. Jagger asks her to tell Mike where Jagger is if she sees him. She tries to tell him that Mike has changed, that Jagger doesn’t know. Jagger gives her a bag full of birthday and Christmas presents from the last five years. She says she can’t take them, she doesn’t want to have to tell her parents about Jagger. She tells him that she goes by “Regina” now. He doesn’t understand as she never liked anyone calling her by that name. She tells him that it is better this way and admits that it was her decision for him not to contact her, not her parents.  Karen confronts Jagger about not telling her about Brenda helping him. He tells her about Gina wanting nothing to do with him. Robin meets musician Val Duncan and listens as he plays.

Rhonda is horrified to learn that Jagger is taking Karen to the prom on his motorcycle.

At Kelly’s, Jagger asks Robin to save him a dance. Brenda suggestively asks if he will save one for her? Robin heads out and Jagger tells her he has a problem with her, that she just couldn’t wait to tell Karen all about her helping him find Gina. She can’t believe he is acting this way, that he would never have gotten into the computer without her help. She realizes by his bad attitude that the reunion didn’t work out. 

Karen and Jagger enjoy some alone time together. She sees the bag of presents he had for Gina. Karen tries to assure him to just give her time, that she will come around. He believes Gina has changed, maybe it is her new parents that changed her. He decides to focus on finding Mike, as he knows he is out there somewhere. Karen gives him a back rub, and then suggestively asks him to take off his shirt and she continues to give him a massage. They begin kissing and she has another flashback of her childhood and it ruins the moment with Jagger.    She jumps up and pulls away.

6/11 Brenda strolls into Kelly’s before the prom. Jagger comments that the girl’s take half a day to get ready and wonders what she is doing there. She notices he is carrying his tux, and says, “Its too bad your going with the wrong girl.”  Karen comes out all ready and her mom raves about how beautiful she looks. Jagger picks up Karen for the prom and tells her she looks better than gorgeous. She tells him that he is also looking gorgeous (he is wearing a white tux jacket). 

The PC High Senior Prom is underway, Jason, Brenda, Darren and Robin stand in the doorway watching all the action as Val’s band plays and students dance.

Karen tells her they should just ignore each other that night. Each couple takes their picture: Darren & Robin, Jagger & Karen, Jason & Brenda. Jagger comes up and Robin asks Jagger if he likes her date, Darren?

Karen tells Jagger about numerous after parties. He tells her it is her night and they can do whatever they want. She isn’t really interested in going to the parties as they are all Jason’s friends. In the bathroom, Karen accuses Brenda of sleeping around. Brenda says she has only slept with one guy, Jagger! An upset Robin comes in and tells her friends about Darren’s girlfriend showing up.

6/14 Val asks Jason what happened to Robin’s date, he saw him leave with another girl. Jagger is upset to learn that Jason knew about this and didn’t tell Robin. Val stops them before they come to blows and asks if they really want Robin to come out and see them fighting, that would really give her a night to remember. Val comes in the bathroom and asks to talk to Robin.

Karen and Brenda rejoin Jason and Jagger who are still arguing over the Robin situation. Jason says he has to live with the decision he made not to tell Robin about her date’s girlfriend. Karen can’t believe that Darren dumped her like that. This sets Jason off, who demands to know, “Like what Karen? Like in front of all of her friends in the middle of a dance? I thought you of all people could understand exactly where Darren was coming from.” He is alluding to the Valentine’s dance when Jagger showed up and Karen took off with him, leaving Jason alone. Karen apologizes once again to Jason, though Jagger tells Jason he is really getting on his nerves by bringing that up again. Brenda intervenes and drags Jason off to dance.

Val calls out for the dance couples to change partners. She of course quickly lets go of Jason to grab Jagger. Karen winds up with Jason and tells him he doesn’t have to dance with her, but he is a gentleman and dances with her. They both stare at Jagger and Brenda dancing together the entire time. Val takes a break from performing to dance with Robin. Karen suggestively tells Jagger that she wants to go back to his room. He gets a happy look on his face. He asks her if she is really ready?

She suddenly pulls away from him and says, “Please don’t”.

After seeing Karen run out of Kelly, Ruby questions Jagger about what happened between them? Brenda shows up at Kelly’s and asks Jagger about his night last night. He is very quiet, and she teasingly asks him if he struck out with her again? Brenda wants some kind of reaction from Jagger when she tells him she spent the night on the beach with Jason.
