== Episode ==
* Cold Open: Kaleigh alerts George Michael it's almost time for the show. George asks for air conditioning, claiming he's getting cold. Kaleigh admits they don't have air condition, but she opens a window, letting wind and leaves in.
* Eric and Rachel sing "Heal the Pain"
* Backstage: Just as she tells Kenny of her act backstage, Frances sneezes. "Doctor" Kaleigh checks her forehead, claiming she has a cold, and sends her to bed. Eric and Caroline wonder who will replace Frances.
* George sings "Faith"
* Backstage: George tells Rachel that he doesn't want to do Frances' act, painting a picture of the colors of the rainbow, tonight, as he prefers singing to painting. Rachel decides to find another replacement.
* Skit: the ZOOMers spell the word "ZOOM."
* UK spot: Buzz sings "Man in the Mirror"
* Backstage: Buzz brings Frances paintbrushes and paper so she can paint in her sickbed, when Eric reminds him that bed-ridden people cannot paint. Just as he hands her a coloring book with crayons, Frances requests Eric bring her some ice cream.
* George sings "Spinning the Wheel"
* The ZOOMers repeatedly ask Kenny if it's time for "Japutcha." When it is time, they do the Hokey Pokey.
* Backstage: Kaleigh turns down Frances' invitation for eating her ice cream as people can get germs from sick people's ice cream. Just as she requests her own ice cream, vanilla ice cream comes pouring down on Kaleigh.
* George sings "Freedom '90"
* At the closing, Frances claimed she liked the show, and Kenny guesses she'll paint a rainbow another time.
== Notes ==
* Buzz Fatt is not credited for his appearance in this episode. This omission may be due to the fact that he was not on set for the filming of the first three episodes. His performance in the UK Spot was filmed later in the season and then inserted into the episode.
== Pilot Version ==
* Episodes 101 and 102 of The ZOOM Hour were both shot as pilots several months before regular production began. After the show began regular production, these episodes were re-worked, with some new skits taped and others dropped. All material featuring George Michael, however, was shot during the original production window. In many markets, these were among the last episodes to air as part of Season One.
* In addition to the UK Spot, "Man in the Mirror," several other scenes and shots were most likely taped after the pilot was filmed and later edited into the broadcast version of the episode. These include the opening number and the ZOOMers' introduction, the backstage plot, and this episode's Japutcha.
