While ticket sales spike, Lou and Tracey believing by now interested students, opponents to the show begin to mobilize to do whatever they can to stop the show from making it to opening night. This opposition affects the dynamics of one family in particular. If the production does make it to opening night, Lou and Tracey know they have to do something for Robbie to get his mojo back. What Lou unilaterally decides to do in the matter, much to Tracey's ire, has the unexpected consequence of helping Gordy. Meanwhile, Sam and Vanessa's affair affects what happens between them, Lilette, Gwen and Gordy. Maashous tells Lou and Gail about his mother, but not the full extent of the story. And with Michael by her side, Sasha thinks she knows what she will do about her pregnancy. She gets some unexpected support in the matter. Written by Huggo See less
