Peter, bored at work, decides to go into the executive bathroom. When he enters the Jurassic Park-esque bathroom, he becomes motivated to do well at work so that can become an executive. He tries various things to impress his boss Angela, such as dressing in a suit and cleaning his office, but creates much havoc, such as accidentally blowing up a children's hospital; nevertheless, Angela is impressed by his improvement at work and recommends an open executive spot for him. When he goes to HR to get his promotion, he is told that he must complete the third grade to do qualify.

At school, Peter competes with class genius Omar to win the spelling bee because he is required to win in order to pass the third grade. Peter wins by correctly spelling "lesbians" and is finally able to graduate. But when he goes back to work to get his promotion, he is told by Angela that he is getting arrested because of his children's hospital explosion, implying he won't be promoted. Fortunately, he only receives one week in prison, and will be released the following Sunday night at 9:00 (Family Guy's time slot, an obvious knock at the fourth wall).

Meanwhile, Frank Sinatra, Jr. comes back to town to perform with Brian at the Quahog Cabana Club, buying the establishment together to boost business. The two are disappointed when they learn from Stewie that people just don't want to go to big band clubs anymore. They leave an improvement of the Cabana Club to Stewie, who creates a modern dance club called pLace (stylized capitalization intended, according to Stewie). At first, Frank and Brian feel uncomfortable and out of place, but their feelings change once they get into the club life themselves. However, the club immediately loses a well-established reputation once the party is crashed by Andy Dick
