Later Kenny and Richie are trying to agree on a [[UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueBaseball baseball card trade]] involving New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden and Houston Astros legend Nolan Ryan. The light-hearted scene is abruptly interrupted when Devyn arrives with word that serves as Kryptonite to Ryan; as the principal wants to see Ryan in her office…and she’s ‘’’furious’’’! The ensuing meeting sees the [[ObstructiveBureaucrat principal]] blasting Ryan’s article, charging it was a disservice to the cafeteria crew and threatening to block the article from being published barring major changes, leaving Ryan at a crossroads (“Got to Be True to Myself”). Ryan then explains the dilemma to the others and his attempt to decide whether to fight the attempt at censorship or back down, setting up “Think” (in a Literature/NineteenEightyFour setting that closes with a graphic of the quote “Those who deny freedom of speech to others deserve it not for themselves.” by UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln).

We start things off with a performance of “Here I Go Again”; followed by a shot of Ryan at a typewriter working on an article for the school paper (which naturally gives Kenny and Devyn an opportunity to jokingly refer to Ryan as ComicBook/{{Superman}}). The article happens to be a review of the school paper - a rather scathing one at that (Devyn comments that the milk was always warm, the hot apple pies were always cold; with Kenny complaining about the portion sizes). Among the “highlights”: poor quality mashed potatoes and burgers made of “mystery meat not even Literature/SherlockHolmes could identify”.before closing with a statement that the school “should stop treating nutrition as a dirty word and start giving us more of it”; leading to “Pop Goes the World”.

Meanwhile, Ryan gets an idea: Invite the principal to try the cafeteria food herself while the band prepares to audition for an upcoming spring dance; with the kids attempting (not particularly convincingly) to sell the food as being good). The principal, upon trying it, immediately expresses her disgust, conceding Ryan was right and that the original article would be not only allowed to run but printed on the front page…on the condition they get her some decent food, setting up closing number “Check It Out”.
!! Songs performed in this episode:
* “Here I Go Again” (Music/{{Whitesnake}} cover; lead vocals by Ryan)

* “Think” (Music/ArethaFranklin cover; lead vocals by Ryan and Kenny)
