Big Brother Vlad

The episode opens with Holton and another first grader playing marbles in the playground when a group of bullies led by Frankie Wazowski start picking on them and hold them down whilst they steal all the marbles. Vance turns up and confronts them telling them to stop or he'll stop them just like he's done plenty times before.

The rest of The Recess Gang celebrate Vance's win as something really cool but he brushes it off as nothing. C.J. tells Vance to face it, that there is nobody cooler than him but Vance replies what about his big brother Vlad. The group start discussing Vlad who Vance calls the Coolest guy 98th Street School has ever known. Mickey talks about how he remembers that when he was all in kindergarten all alone in the sandbox Vlad came over to play with him. Rigalli remembers that back in first grade when she got a bean stuck up her nose, it was Vlad who showed her how to get it out. The group agree that Vlad is cool but say that they have not seen him in years. Vance says that Vlad just so happens to be picking him up from school today.

The kids of the school hear that Vlad is visiting and get excited as it seems that Vlad helped them all out as well. The Diggers says that it was Vlad who give them there first shovel and got them interested in digging. The Aubrees hear and say that they remember him from first grade as a hunk. And so did the Megans. Queen Barb remembers Vlad from when she was a mere fourth grader when Vlad actually spoke to her and give her aspirations of being queen some day.

After school all the kids are still in the playground waiting for Vlad and are disappointed that Vlad is nothing but a nerd. The next day, The Recess Gang told Vance that Vlad is a geek, but he does not believe them still thinking of his brother as cool. The gang point out various geeky thing Vlad has or does such as wearing a pocket protector (because he does not want ink on his shirt), wearing tape on his glasses (because they always get broken), and being the score keeper for his school's baseball team (during which baseballs fly at him at top speed, explaining the constant breaking of his glasses). Vance thinks about what the group were saying later and walks into the house, seeing Vlad's trophies and team picture from "future Geeks of America" club, hears him speak of certain classes and clubs, and the way he speaks, and realizes that the group were right. Vlad gets bewildered when Vance runs away from the table in such dismay.

Vance confronts him and finds out that Vlad knows he's a geek and is OK with it. The next day at school the Recess gang try to reassure Vance that it's OK that Vlad is a geek, but Vance says everything that he ever believed to be true is wrong and fears that he too may turn into a geek. The gang says that that is not going to happen but Vance still think it is and says nothing can get any worse. This is when Frankie Wazowski's brother Coy turns up and confronts Vance about him giving his little brother a "hard time". His brother pushes Vance to the floor and is about to beat him up when Vlad turns up and tells him to stop and threatens to stop helping him with his math homework if he does not do it.

Coy, afraid he will fail math without Vlad's help, apologizes and walks away. The kids celebrate and Vance tells his brother that what he did was cool, with Vlad replying that just because he is a geek does not mean he is not a cool geek. The two walk off to Vlad's bike and ride off.
