25 min. | color | ABC | first aired: december 29, 1965 | s01e16
Gidget accidently makes two dates (with the Cook twins) for the Founder’s Day Dance. To complicate things further, Jeff/Moondoggie phones and announces he’ll be home to take Gidget to the dance as well. She then spends the majority of the dance juggling boys so they won’t find out about each other.
