The Tornadoes are up against Lynwood for the first game of the new season, and Deering has a new Vice Principal, Ms. Williams, who turns out to be Coach Fuller's ex-fiance. After Michael encourages the team to skip Study Hall to practice, they are given detention two days before the game. Then after losing his temper with Ms. Williams, Michael gets suspended from the game. Coach Fuller tries to work out a solution with Ms. Williams so that while the team gets punished, they can still play.
