However, at the end of that song Renee falls off the stage (after having stumbled on a couple of occasions during the song). We then turn back to the hiccup subplot, where “Dr. Ryan” speculates that Stacy’s hiccups were caused by her being scared following Renee’s fall[[note]]except they started at the beginning of the plot, prior to said fall[[/note]]; causing Stacy to go on a melodramatic complaint about not wanting to go through her formative years with hiccups. Fortunately, Ryan notes that they only last a couple of hours at most (before adding “or was that years?”). Returning to the main plot; Renee protests Kid’s attempts to coax her into wearing a football helmet and pads (after the two collided twice). Ryan — noting the symptoms he’s learned and seen from the others (Stacy mentioning Renee’s headaches; Gloria noting Renee rubbing her eyes in study hall and Kid having to help Renee with the sheet music during their last rehearsal) — comes up with a “diagnosis”: Renee may need an eye exam and possibly glasses. Needless to say, Renee is not happy about hearing the news; worrying she’d look “funny looking” and end up picked on and treated like [[UnseenCharacter Billy the Gweeb]]; setting up “Unlucky Me”, during which Renee falls off a park bench, knocks over a trash can and throws a baseball into a window.

Back at the P*lace; Stacy — still with the hiccups — is waiting along with Ryan, Gloria and Riley for Renee to return from her eye exam with [[SelfReferentialHumor Dr. Biller]][[note]]this time a play on co-producer Gary P. Biller[[/note]]. Kid then arrives and (after learning Renee hasn’t gotten back yet) explains he had gotten back from the Magic Shoppe with supplies to help Renee. Renee arrives soon after, sporting a pair of glasses [[NerdGlasses roughly similar to those of]] Sally Jessy Raphael, setting up “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”; complete with the others wearing a variety of prop glasses. The effort successfully cheered Renee up, though she took the news she would need glasses much better than expected; with Renee — encouraged by her mom — also picking up a yellow pair for school, blue for special occasions and “Best of all, I got contacts for when I’m onstage singing”)[[note]]this would eventually create a [[AesopAmnesia forgotten aesop]] in that, save for a handful of Season 4 episodes; Renee would never be seen wearing glasses again[[/note]]. The episode closes the loop on the B-plot with Stacy’s hiccups finally clearing up before we get to closing number “Into the Groove”[[note]]which includes a blooper where a cameraman failed 6 get out of the shot and was seen from one angle trying to get out of the way[[/note]].
