Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Faced with such class-president candidates as annoyingly perky cheerleader Claire Miller (Davida Williams) and resident weirdo Larry Tudgeman (Kyle J. Downes), Lizzie (Hilary Duff) figures she can win the election in a landslide by running on the "Normal" ticket. Unfortunately, self-appointed campaign manager Gordo (Adam Lamberg) advises Lizzie to be all things to all people -- and as a result, Lizzie drops normality, stops being "herself" and develops a swelled head the size of Texas. Meanwhile, Lizzie's brother, Matt (Jake Thomas), has apparently adopted an imaginary friend named Jasper. Pop-culture references in this episode include nods to Britney Spears and Marilyn Manson -- and even Revenge of the Nerds, which, of course, featured Lizzie McGuire co-star Robert Carradine.
