Becca is torn when she realizes she'll have to choose between two very important activites when she learns that rehearsal for her annual ballet recital conflict with the tryouts for the pep squad. Should she follow her heart or pursue a surefire ticket to what Kerry assures her is guaranteed popularity? Meanwhile Tucker and Miles try to win the yearbook's annual candid photo contest. Their subject: the pep squad.

Having won the speech contest for the past two years, Becca is determined to hold on to her title this year. After carefully choosing rock climbing as her topic, she throws herself into her research only to find that her academic rival Vega may also have the same idea. Meanwhile, Tucker sees an opportunity to take over the school DJ position, a job currently occupied by his arch-nemesis Jack.

Tucker is all set to be an extra in a horror movie, until his mom reminds him that he has to spend that day looking after Horace. So Tucker tells Becca he'll take over their joint Health assignment, which involves looking after a lifelike doll that has to be cared for like a real baby, if she'll look after Horace on Saturday. His parenting skills turn out to be disastrous.
