At Blooper's house, a heartbroken Roxanne shows up, as her boyfriend Tucker blew her off to watch the World Cup with his friends, Blooper offers to be Roxanne's date instead, much to Roxanne's excitement. With Carl's friends and Logan's encouragement, Carl gains enough confidence to go to the dance, with Logan, Kylie and Marvin accompanying him. While getting ready to leave, Kylie tells Carl that Grace likes him and wanted to go to the dance with him, making the latter realize his mistake. Meanwhile, Gooper and his gang are driving around town when they spot Grace walking over to Carl's house, and kidnap her, Jim tells Gooper that he thinks he has gone too far, but as always, Gooper ignores him. When Gooper and his gang arrive at the dance, Roxanne notices that Grace looks scared and goes to check on her. When Tucker confronts Blooper about being there with his girlfriend, Blooper than berates Tucker for being more concerned about soccer than his own girlfriend, Tucker realizes his mistake and goes to apologize to her. Meanwhile, Gooper is bragging about his car to try and impress some girls, Grace tells them not to get too excited as the interior of his car is messy, Gooper tries to argue otherwise, the two girls claim that he loves talking about his car, and Grace jokingly replies that he's trying to compensate for having a small dick. Gooper, infuriated, drags Grace to a nearby classroom. When Carl, Logan and Kylie arrive at the dance, Liam and Bob ambush Carl once he's alone and try to beat him up. Just then, Jim shows up and defeats Liam and Bob by throwing a glass of beer at the former, and vomiting on the latter. Carl thanks Jim for rescuing him and Jim tells Carl that he has to go rescue Grace. Back at the school, Gooper pulls Grace into the classroom and is ready to assault her and is then interrupted by Carl. Gooper then taunts Carl about his feelings for Grace when the latter refuses to fight him. This causes Carl to change his approach and punch the latter, only for the hit to do nothing and is then thrown across the room and onto a table. Grace then kicks Gooper in the balls, pissing him off and is prepared to finish what he started. In Carl's mind, his dad encourages him to get up. Carl then jumps off the table, beats up Gooper and throws him through a wall. As Carl attempts to apologize to Grace for not asking her to the dance, Grace kisses him. After finally realizing their feelings for each other, the two kiss while Boo watches. Later, Carl tells the guys that him and Grace are officially dating and they all congratulate each other on a successful year until Logan shows up, offering if they want to pour beer down a still unconscious-Gooper, to which they all take up.
