As prom night approaches, Beverly High suddenly experiences an emergency that forces Principal London to send the prom to seek refuge at South Crenshaw High. However, Spencer learns that the emergency is not an accident, and he may have got into trouble for it.
Tropes featured in this episode:
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: Spencer is willing to take the blame for a crime he wasn't even involved in, simply because he doesn't want it to reflect badly on the Chargers. Unlike what he promised Olivia, he isn't ready to give up playing the hero yet.
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Spencer and Billy finding an unresponsive Willie at the sports room, eerily echoing Corey's death back in "Coming Home".
- Dude, Not Funny!: Spencer is unamused upon learning that the Chargers stole a trophy that belongs to Beverly High. Not only because of how poor in taste it is, but their ruckus caused the sprinklers to go off, which was the reason why their prom got canceled in the first place.
- Prom Is for Straight Kids: Averted. Not only does no one mind Coop and Patience attending the prom together, but they are crowned the prom queen and queen.
- The Prom Plot: Takes place during Spencer's senior prom.
- The Promposal: In the opening scene, Olivia showily asks Spencer out for the prom. When he points out that he already asked her out before, she counters that he asked out for South Crenshaw High's prom, while she asked out for Beverly High's.
- Taking the Heat: Spencer claims sole responsibility for the trophy prank, which can potentially expel him from school.
