Episode #6 — School’s Out for Summer
The school year is just about over, and both students and teachers at Studs Terkel are beyond ready for summer vacation. While planning the Nasty Delicious summer tour, Craig invites Jimmy to be co-manager, along with Supervisor Dalton. Craig asks Ashleigh and Samir if they want to join the tour, but Samir is going to Delhi for a verbal stoning from his parents and Ashleigh’s bound for Paris. Since there’s a science convention in town, Ashleigh’s certain she’ll make the extra money for her ticket, since she has a new striptease featuring some CGI and a raccoon.That night Craig and Ben are performing at FloJack’s per usual, when they receive some earth shattering visitors: Philip Bailey, Verdine White and Ralph Johnson of Earth, Wind & Fire, their favorite band of all time. It turns out they’re big fans of Nasty Delicious, and they want Craig and Craig only to join them on their year-long tour. The next morning, Craig floats into the teacher’s lounge on cloud nine, bursting with the big news that his wildest dream just came true. When Principal Taylor reminds him that he signed a contract to teach next year, he asks her to tear it up.

But when she warns him that tearing up the contract means Craig will never teach at Studs Terkel again, he gets slightly cold feet and asks for a week to think it over. Taylor agrees, but Dalton and Jimmy aren’t going to let Craig off that easy. Their hearts are broken: if Craig takes off with Earth, Wind & Fire, the Nasty Delicious tour is off. Craig’s surprised that both his fellow teachers and his students are mad as hell, while all Principal Taylor can do is shake her head and refrain from saying, “I told you so.” She thinks Earth, Wind & Fire will be fine without Craig, but the kids won’t. Craig learns this very lesson when he thinks Deandre has run away from school heartbroken to lose his music teacher. Little does he know, Principal Taylor paid Deandre to put on a good show.

Samir confesses to Jimmy that he went to the strip club to see Ashleigh dance. Now that he’s seen her naked, he’s paralyzed by guilt. Luckily, Jimmy has all the answers to all the questions. All Samir has to do to get rid of his guilt is let Ashleigh see him naked – then the tables are turned and the score is 40-love. The plan is hatched and Samir takes off his clothes in the teacher’s lounge restroom, while Jimmy tries to woo Ashleigh inside. He manages to give both Supervisor Dalton and Principal Taylor the shock of a lifetime, but not Ashleigh, who merely hears rumors that Samir is flashing everyone – and that he’s blessed. When she confronts him, Samir finally admits the truth, which compels Ashleigh to give him a kiss – and the hope of a thousand Trojans.

That night, Craig tells Ben he’s not going on tour with Earth, Wind & Fire. His real dream is to succeed with Nasty Delicious – even though Earth, Wind & Fire think he’s high for making this choice. They agree to make some dreams come true, joining Craig, Ben and the band for a rendition of “September.” (Courtesy NBC.)
