The school musical ("Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat") is on the horizon and lead actor Andrew feels unwell. His mother puts it down to nerves. Tucker has not done his Maths homework for Mr Keating and does not turn up at his lesson so that he can finish painting the "chariot" (a converted bicycle) for the musical. Doyle turns up at the class and has not done his homework either and is given double detention. In the last dress rehearsal before the first show Andrew puts in a poor performance. Penny and Susi carry scenery from the art room down to the hall on the way they are ambushed by some older girls who threaten to damage the scenery but Summers comes and gives them detention. Keating catches up with Tucker and gives him detention, that evening. The older girls wreak revenge for Summers giving them detention by vandalising scenery and props,including the "Dreamcoat" for the musical. Sutcliffe blames Tucker but Summers sticks up for Tucker when she sees his chariot has been damaged also. Tucker says the may be able to get a replacement coat at short notice and darts away. Andrew is sick in the toilets. The parents begin to arrive for the performance. Tucker's mother says she had left her coat out to wear but it had disappeared. Tucker tells Andrew about a change in stage directions in the last scene so that the damaged part of the chariot is not seen by the audience. The show goes well on the whole with Andrew performing well. There is a slight hiccup in the last scene when Andrew forgets Tucker's instructions. Summers thank's Tucker's mother for lending her coat. Tucker is beckoned by his annoyed-looking mother....
