The test is set to rank the school against the rest in the country and the coach wants them to perform the best possible. Theodore is nervous, but Alvin reassures Theodore that he will do fine regardless.

Theodore continues the training at home before explaining to Dave that the coach won't let him back in the class until he does better. Dave disagrees and decides to call Coach Dobkins, who's not surprised by the call. Dobkins blames Dave for not helping Theodore achieve his goals and instead passing the job off to teachers like himself.
