== Synopsis ==
Squidward and Squilliam are both nominated as future performers in Kelpy G's biggest concert yet, but only one person can go to the concert, and Squidward is conflicted upon having himself go and achieve, or letting Squilliam go so he can look like a good friend.
== Plot ==
The episode begins with a news report of Kelpy G and his agents visiting Bikini Bottom to advertise their newest concert. At the Krusty Krab, Squidward sees this through the window and runs out before Mr. Krabs can see him. Squidward bumps into Squilliam on the way to Kelpy G, who mocks Squidward and proudly marches up to Kelpy G. Squilliam shows Kelpy G his clarinet, who is impressed. Kelpy G then notes Squidward, thinking that he is Squilliam's "brother". Squidward, embarrassed, rushes from the scene.
The next day, Squidward wakes up in the middle of the night to a phone call from Kelpy G's agent, who tells him that he has been nominated to play in the concert. Squidward hangs up before Kelpy G's agent is able to even finish speaking, and excitedly dances all around the house. SpongeBob is woken up by this, and informs Squidward to go to bed. Squidward kicks SpongeBob out of the house, and continues dancing, to yet another phone call, which turns out to be Squilliam, smugly telling Squidward that he was the other nominee, and that he wouldn't stand a chance. Squidward hangs up and cries, which yet again wakes SpongeBob up. Squidward tells SpongeBob about the calls and how he was nominated alongside Squilliam. SpongeBob takes Squidward aside and tells him that he should do what's best for himself.
That morning, Squidward and Squilliam are invited to Kelpy G's studio to come to the final verdict of who would go. However, Kelpy G tells Squidward that Squilliam is supposedly "late", but Squidward finds him in the bathroom without his unibrow, feeling nervous. Squidward at first mocks Squilliam for faking the unibrow, but then realizes his self-confidence issues. Squilliam still tries to act fancy in front of Squidward, but Squidward promises him that he would make sure he would win.
A few minutes later, Squidward starts regretting what he says, and how he wouldn't be able to become famous now that he promised Squilliam he'd let him win. At lunch break, Squidward rushes to the Krusty Krab and gives SpongeBob the clarinet, telling him to damage it as much as possible so he wouldn't have a chance at winning. Confused, SpongeBob asks why, and Squidward tells him about his promise to Squilliam. SpongeBob, albeit still confused, agrees to this plan. However, SpongeBob is so careful that it becomes physically impossible for him to damage the clarinet, much to Squidward's dismay. Squidward is then struck with an idea. He decides to invite his entire family for lunch at the Krusty Krab, and a few minutes later, an entire bus of family members come swarming in. Squidward pretends to drop his clarinet, which is then trod on, squashed and smashed to little pieces.
A few hours later, Squidward runs back to the studio with the broken clarinet. Kelpy G is extremely mad at Squidward for breaking the clarinet, throwing it in Squidward's face, and immediately chooses Squilliam to play. 
Squidward stumbles out of the studio distraught, and starts to cry, until he finds Squilliam walking out as well, grateful for Squidward's actions. Squilliam thanks Squidward for having him win, and soon, the whole of Bikini Bottom catches note of this, and Squidward is pulled into a massive group hug started by SpongeBob. Squidward cries tears of joy knowing that his actions have done good for Squilliam, and in turn, the whole town.
A few months later, Kelpy G's next concert takes place, with Squidward getting a backstage pass from Squilliam. SpongeBob comes onto backstage, and gives Squidward a clarinet that he built with help from Sandy. And, as we iris out, Squidward says "...Thanks."
