Lawson is upset when the Gang yet again wins honour and praise from King Bob and the rest of the playground. The bully abandons his old friends to form a new crew of counterparts to the group: himself for T.J., Randall for Gus, Skeens for Vince, Swinger Girl for Spinelli, Menlo for Gretchen, and Kurst "the Worst" for Mikey. Lawson's new group seems to be far more efficient at helping others, pulling pranks, and even protesting the administration's decisions. This puts the Gang into a depressed state and makes them fear that they no longer have a place on the playground. Mikey points out that despite everything, they are still best friends, and the group takes solace in the fact, which comes in handy when they're called to solve a problem not even Lawson's gang can fix.
