Added DiffLines:
This episode has Gloria learn to face her fears as Space Exploration Week takes place.
We start off with a shot of an unidentified figure in the P*lace (decorated for Space Exploration Week). When the action picks up, Riley tries out a series of space-themed jokes. When those fall flat, he then turns his attention to introducing the band (“Twist of Fate”). During the break, the kids (including dancers Wendy and Carletta) are excited over the upcoming trip to the planetarium, and with that the potential of being the first kid to enter space (something Mickey notes is possible with civilians being trained to enter space)…all with the glaring exception of Gloria, who repeatedly emphasizes her preference for terra firma vis-a-vis the final frontier; with the kids’ attempts to get her to face those fears being placed on the back-burner when their break ends (“Holiday”).
Electing to stay behind, Gloria then runs into a space-suit clad version of herself, specifically her sense of adventure, who then proceeds to challenge her to face her fears of space (“Human Nature”); leading to an ImagineSpot featuring the band on the moon with varying aliens jamming to “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”[[note]]both the moon set and alien costumes would be reused for Season 4’s [[Recap/KidsIncorporatedS4E4FrontPageNews “Front Page News”]][[/note]]
Returning to the real world; the others regale Gloria with tales of what she missed at the planetarium before she informs them that she’s not afraid of space anymore, setting up closing number “Stand Up”.
!! Songs performed in this episode:
* “Twist of Fate“ (Music/OliviaNewtonJohn cover; lead vocals by Gloria)
* “[[Music/MadonnaAlbum Holiday]]” (Music/{{Madonna}} cover; lead vocals by Stacy, Renee and Gloria)[[note]]there’s a goof in this song as despite the heavy use of synthesizers, not only are neither of the main cast members most commonly seen on keyboards, Rahsaan Patterson and Carletta Prince, respectively; playing - the two dancing next to each other; no keyboard is even seen on stage[[/note]]
* “[[Music/{{Thriller}} Human Nature]]“ (Music/MichaelJackson cover; lead vocals by Gloria)[[note]]one of the few times one of the girls got to perform a song by the King of Pop[[/note]]
* “[[Music/{{Thriller}} Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’]]” (Michael Jackson cover; lead vocals by Kid)
