At 18, Corky is eager to break free from his parents' influence, even if it just means taking the bus to school. Unfortunately, he finds himself falling in with a rough crowd. The climax of the episode arrives when the "bad boy" Corky decides to audition for the community talent show, performing a hip-hop dance to "Fight the Power" from Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing." However, when his new friends betray him, Corky realizes he needs to change course and ultimately performs a tap dance routine with Becca, returning to their usual act for the show.
