As the night of the dance arrives, Martin is still too nervous to ask Trisha to be his date. However, when he sees her arrive with another boy, he becomes jealous and rushes to the dance floor. There, he finally works up the courage to ask her to dance. In the midst of the chaos, Martin's parents arrive, performing their secretly learned dance moves.
