The Firing Squad is the fifteenth episode of the first season of the hit sitcom What's Happening!!. In this classic episode, the lovable trio of Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne find themselves entangled in a series of hilarious misadventures as they try to raise money for a school carnival.

The episode kicks off with Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne all excitedly discussing the upcoming school carnival. They are determined to help their classmates have a fabulous time, but they quickly realize that they are short on funds. Determined not to let their friends down, the boys brainstorm various creative ways to raise money in a short amount of time.

Their first idea involves hosting a car wash, but things quickly take a comical turn when they accidentally soak the principal's new sports car rather than washing it. As if that wasn't enough trouble, they also manage to inadvertently drench their school's football team, leaving them all soaking wet before an important game. Amidst the chaos, the boys remain resilient and vow to find another way to contribute to the carnival fund.

Next, Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne decide to organize a bake sale. They enlist the help of several classmates, including Dee, who happens to be an excellent baker. However, their plans go awry when Rerun mistakenly adds salt instead of sugar to all the baked goods. The resulting desserts are so disgustingly salty that even the school mascot can't bear to take a bite. Undeterred by this setback, the trio once again regroups and continues their quest for funds.

In their final attempt, Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne turn to their entrepreneurial spirits and decide to sell homemade T-shirts at the carnival. They even come up with an eye-catching design featuring the school's iconic logo. However, their plans are foiled once more when they accidentally misplace the carefully designed stencil. In a desperate bid to recreate it, they resort to freehand drawing, resulting in an assortment of crooked and misshapen shirts.

To make matters worse, the boys encounter bullies who mock their poorly made shirts. But instead of succumbing to defeat, they elect to turn the tables on their tormentors. What ensues is a side-splitting scene where Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne, armed with paintbrushes and a bucket of dye, give the bullies an unexpected makeover that leaves them with multi-colored faces and clothes.

As the episode draws to a close, the school carnival finally arrives, and despite the trio's zany misadventures, they manage to raise a surprising amount of money for the event. Their determination and resilience are rewarded as they witness the joy on their classmates' faces as they enjoy the festivities they helped create.

The Firing Squad is a classic episode of What's Happening!! that showcases the endearing and comedic dynamics between Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne. Despite their numerous blunders, the trio's unwavering friendship and commitment to their school community shine through.
