History[]

Unfortunately, Marty doesn't make the team. TJ tells Marty not to worry because Buffy won't last long in the team.
The Snorpion[]
Buffy has her first game as a member of the team. Unfortunately, TJ refuses to pass her the ball. Buffy later goes to make things right with TJ but TJ insists that she should quit the team. So, Buffy yells at TJ and walks away.
There's a Mack in the Shack[]
TJ's math tutor, Mr. Coleman threatens to get TJ benched from playing for the team if he doesn't improve in math. He asks Buffy to help tutor TJ in math but neither Buffy nor TJ likes the idea. However, desperate to keep playing, TJ agrees to let Buffy tutor him. Buffy later tells TJ that he might have a math learning disability called dyscalculia.
We Were Never[]
There is a big basketball game coming up, and TJ wants to play one more game before finding out whether he has the math learning disability. He manipulates Buffy to do his homework and promises to pass the ball to her. However, during the game, TJ refuses to keep his promise to give Buffy the ball. The rest of the teammates become furious at TJ and pressure him to give the ball to Buffy. Buffy gets the ball for the first time but drops it almost immediately after seeing her mother.
A Walker to Remember[]
TJ has been sidelined from playing for the team because he's been failing math. This gives Buffy the opportunity to shine and impress everyone as she leads the team to victory. Buffy even gets a nickname as the basketball slayer. However, TJ rejoins the team after learning from Cyrus that his math teacher can't fail him for having a learning disability. Since he's jealous of everyone cheering for Buffy, he tells Mr. Coleman that Buffy did homework for him. This gets Buffy suspended from the team.
