## Episode Summary

### **Part 1**

The crossover opens with the five friends receiving a lecture from their science teacher, Mr Gray, inside their science classroom. As Mr Gray decides to assign his class some science work, he reveals to them that he was scheduled to have a video chat with another teacher, named Gabriel, from another high school, in the upcoming minutes. He eventually receives the call on the classroom's smart-board, and encourages his class to actively engage with it. As expected, Gabriel is on the other end of the call, and appears to have difficulties in setting up his webcam. When the issue gets resolved, he formerly introduces himself to Mr Gray's class, and reveals to them that he was actually an activities' councilor for his high school's "E.G.G." program. He then proceeds to introduce four of the students from the "E.G.G." program, and each of the students, Andrew Chestnut, Orange Doyle, Chile Parks, and Frank Quimby, reveal a few facts about themselves and reveal their special talents. At the conclusion of the introductions, Gabriel offers an invitation to Mr Gray to allow himself, Mr Leopron, and five of his students to state exchange to his high school (Brandon High) for a week. With this news, Mr Gray hangs up the video call, and "scans" his classroom to pick five lucky students, April, Justice, Gary, Dean, and Rachel, to visit Brandon High with him.

On the morning of their trip, Rachel encourages all of her friends to remain awake at 5am, as Bill was going to drive them to the airport. Before the friends leave, Rachel makes the realisation that Justice was still asleep, and forces Dean to wake her up. When Justice awakes, Rachel begins to yell at her, before the group decide to finally leave.

The friends, Mr Gray and Mr Leopron embark on the plane for their journey to San Francisco. Firstly, Mr Gray and Mr Leopron have a small discussion about Brandon High's principal. Secondly, Dean and Gary decide to sit next to each other towards the back of the plane. Thirdly, Justice decides to sit in the row in front of Dean and Gary, and selfishly decides to place her carry-on bag on the seat next to her. The flight attendant on the plane also catches her on her cell phone and confiscates it from her. Finally, April decides to sit in the row in front of Justice, but sits in the seat on the left-hand side. Rachel is the last to board the plane, and struggles to get Justice to give up her bag seat. She eventually decides to sit next to April, however she refuses to make room for Rachel to sneak past. Rachel attempts to sneak past anyway, tripping over in the process.

A couple of hours later, the plane finally lands in San Francisco. Rachel and April are the first ones to join the adult staff, with a hobbling Gary and Dean and unconscious Justice not far behind. Upon arrival, Mr Gray makes the realisation that the group was thirty minutes behind schedule, and immediately decides to head to Brandon High first instead of going to their hotel.

The group arrives at Brandon High and enters through the school's main entrance. The friends share a few exchanges about the school until they are greeted by Lesley Read and Penny Houndstooth, the lead cheerleaders at Brandon. The girls point the group into the direction of the "E.G.G. Plant", the central hangout for students in the "E.G.G." program.

The group enter the "E.G.G. Plant" and is first greeted by Frank. When the group enters, Brandon's principal, Ms Moreskid, is seen having a conversation with Gabriel. After their conference, Gabriel welcomes the group to the E.G.G. Plant. He then asks the "main" E.G.G.s to join the rest of the group on the couch, and reminds them of their weekly plan to pair up with a regular student from Colorado and teach them about their talents. Andrew, the computer genius, gets paired up with Dean. Orange, the student with the eidetic memory, gets paired up with Justice. Frank, the artist, gets paired up with Gary. And finally, Chile, the musical prodigy, gets paired up with Rachel. Instead of pairing up with an E.G.G., April decides to pair up with Penny instead.

As promised, the E.G.G.s begin to show the Colorado students the basics of their talents. Chile decides to show Rachel all of her musical instruments, and asks her to pick one out to play. Rachel picks out a tuba and attempts to play it, before Chile takes over with an impressive tuba solo. Gary begins to notice all of Frank's art, and gives him the idea to sell his paintings online. Orange attempts to make conversation with Justice, by giving her an "intriguing factoid" about communication.

At the conclusion of their first meetings, Gabriel asks all of the students to gather on the couch again, to discuss the E.G.G. program further with the Colorado students. Upon realising the truth about it, April grows anxious, and reveals that she ordered someone to deliver a giant egg into the E.G.G. Plant! Somehow a tow-truck manages to drop off the giant prop on the right-hand side of the plant (crushing all of Chile's musical instruments). The episode ends when Mr Gray discovers the prop and a shot of him left in shock.
