SEASON ONE, Episode #9

Sonny is asked out on a date by Mackenzie Falls guest star James Conroy, who's intentions are questionable. She decides to go out with him, despite Tawni's warnings. Tawni then precedes to go tell James to back off of Sonny herself, but ends up telling Chad about the date instead; whom actually seems to care. Sonny and James are having a good time on their date until they're interrupted by Tawni, and then Chad. In the heat of an argument, Sonny finds out that James is Tanwi's ex-boyfriend. Overhearing the argument, James comments "She's so cute when she's angry," in which Chad replies: "Sonny's always cute. She can't do anything without it being cute. Stupid cute." Come to find out though, James was talking about Tawni and preceeds to send her flowers and ask her out the next day. The girls decide that James needs a taste of his own medicine and Sonny and Chad go on a fake date to make James want Sonny back so that she can dump him. Tawni goes out with James, but when he sees Sonny with Chad he decides that he wants Sonny back. Through lots of "Channy" moments and a fake kiss (Sonny's hand was over Chad's mouth), Sonny and Tawni both dump James. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady get busted by Murphy for putting their mouths under the yogurt machine and Zora tries to bail them out of trouble.

We see a bit of Zora's sketch "Sally Jenson, Kid Lawyer." And Murphy the security guard returns.

LOTS! If you are a shipper for Channy then you need to see this episode! First of all, it's so obvious that Chad has feelings for Sonny- just not obvious to her. You can see the look of disappointment "in his eyes" that Sonny is dating James. Then there is Chad calling Sonny cute, fake hand holding, fake cuddling, and fake kissing. Despite it being fake, you can see that Chad's emotions behind it are real.
