In this season, following Barb's arrest she is rescued by Christine, Matthew and new boyfriend Dave.

At the conclusion of the season, Christine also becomes engaged to Max, but she feels intimidated by his very educated friends so she decides to return to college.

In June 2010, Deadline Hollywood reported that ABC were no longer interested in picking up the show.

Christine is thrilled when Britney B (guest star Stefanie Scott), the most popular girl in school, asks Ritchie to the 7th grade dance.

But when Christine learns that she wants to break up with him at the dance, she pays Britney $100 to stay with him, a process that quickly diminishes her popularity.
