"Smells Like Teen Sellout" is the twenty-fifth episode of the first season. The title is a reference to Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teens Spirit".
Plot[]
Hannah is given a perfume line to sponsor, but soon realizes that the smell (raspberry) makes her sick. She reveals that she was once in a pie-eating contest, but ate too much raspberry pie and vomited on Ed Bryant.
She decides to lie about it making her sick in order to keep the gifts she received for the sponsorship, including a car. Later Hannah has a television appearance to sponsor the perfume, and worried that she might get a whiff of the perfume and gag on live T.V. puts a injection of medicine in her nose. During the interview she tries to lie, but ends up having giggles and hiccups because of Lilly telling her that she giggles and Oliver hiccups when they lie.
The interviewer, Colin Lasseter, asks if she is okay, and Hannah says she's fine and is just nervous. Surprised, the interviewer says that when he gets nervous he sweats like a pig. After accepting a few calls from her fans, Hannah starts to get drenched in sweat and is forced to reveal the truth, eventually deciding not to put the perfume on the market and losing her car.
In a sub-plot, Jackson gets Oliver to film him live outside for a fortnight, off the land, for an audition for a TV program called Teen Wilderness Challenge.
