Plot[]
At the Big City Community Center, Cricket is looking at Gabriella dreamily, with Remy watching him. Ever since the Valentine's Dance, Cricket can't seem to take his mind off Gabriella, and since Remy danced with her, he since then assumed she and Remy are going out. However, he reassures Cricket they were just "old friends". Remy suggests he talk to her, but Cricket is nervous that Gabriella will flat-out reject him. Remy sees that when he has ever needed help, he would always go to Cricket; this time, the roles have reversed; Remy will help Cricket get over his nerves.
Just then, Community Sue announces that she's painting a mural outside, and she needs two kids to help. Gabriella and Cricket is chosen; the latter due to Remy pulling his hand up, despite Cricket's hesitation. Cricket and Gabriella meet once again, the former very nervous. Meanwhile, Tilly is put in charge of checking out equipment (Tilly initially interprets this as being in charge of the entire community center) while Sue watches Cricket and Gabriella paint the mural. Tilly declares Sue's office is now her's.
Outside, Sue instructs Cricket and Gabriella on the painting, which will depict a muscular Sue being cheered on by others. Cricket is still unable to keep his nerves in check, so he edges out; however Sue pushes him back towards Gabriella's direction. The moment Gabriella touches him, Cricket feels a sudden nerve; he hands a brush to her. Gabriella compliments him, saying he seems to "know [his] way around a canvas", and asks him what he wants to paint first, but Cricket is still nervous. He is able to muster only a weak tone; Gabriella is confused, and Sue interprets this as him "having a medical emergency". Cricket reassures them he's good.
Cricket walks over to Remy and lies down. Cricket explains he was okay with Gabriella distancing each other, but can't muster the courage to get close to each other now. This is where Remy comes in; with the help of earpieces given to him by Vasquez, Remy will be able to command him on what to say.
Meanwhile, as Tilly settles into her new position as "Community" Tilly, Weezie comes in and checks out a pair of boxing gloves. When Tilly launches into dramatic speech, Weezie is confused, only saying "don't trip, just flip the script!". Weezie's phrase gives Tilly an idea; to start a new era of community manager, one the others will never forget.
Cricket is ready to talk to Gabriella, assisted by Remy watching him from a tree. It is initially successful, but Remy gives him obvious romantic pointers, making Cricket very awkward. This display of awkwardness makes Gabriella leave in a huff. Cricket tells Remy off for being "worse at girls than [he] is". As Remy laments the situation, Vasquez calls him. This gives him an idea.
Tilly starts a new era of administration inside the Community Center: stray cats are now allowed in, she has added glitter to the drinking fountains, and she has given all the balls names and faces, stating she wants "liberty and justice for balls". Weezie applauds her, saying she's weird; Tilly takes it as a compliment.
Vasquez is shown to be guarding Rashida as she has lunch with her friends. When Remy asks him if he knows anything about love, Vasquez reveals he does know about the topic. Meanwhile, Gabriella starts to work on the mural, with Cricket in silence. Sue comments on this. Cricket and Gabriella start to make small talk. When Cricket comments on her liking to paint murals, Gabriella reveals this was punishment for her saying "dookie" on the intercom last week. Cricket reveals he also got on the intercom last month and said "trashbutt"; however, he was only sent home with a letter, and before Bill was able to intercept the letter, Cricket edited it to say the Community Center was thanking him for saying that; however, it didn't work. After complimenting each other's word choices, they smile at each other; they feel they have much more in common. Gabriella then gets back to painting. When Cricket asks her if they should team up, doing pranks together, she says it would be fun, but she's leaving soon for Canada, specifically Montreal. This leaves Cricket crushed, thinking she's moving to Montreal and will never see her again.
Remy calls on Vasquez to tell him the pickup line Cricket will use to swoon Gabriella, but it doesn't work, and Gabriella leaves for the bus. As Cricket laments this, Sue suddenly sprays him with a stream of water, revealing Gabriella did like him all this time and has feelings for him. He and Remy run for the bus as Sue is left alone with the (bad) mural.
As Cricket and Remy arrive, Gabriella's bus takes off, leaving them stuck. However, Remy has already called in Vasquez, who will grapple them towards the bus. They are able to catch up to the bus; Vasquez tosses Cricket inside, and he lands at the seat next to Gabriella's. Cricket confesses his feelings for her, and Gabriella reciprocates them. To his surprise, Gabriella asks him if he wants to go out with her; Cricket nervously thinks it'll be them discreetly showing their relationship, but Gabriella laughs and dispels his rumors, claiming they just have to tell others they're dating, and he happily says yes. The bus arrives at Gabriella's stop, and she reveals she's only going to Montreal for a family vacation. Gabriella leaves, and Cricket is overjoyed: he's finally got a girlfriend.
Tilly's tenure as "manager" has gone south, as people are panicking. As Tilly greets the shocked Sue, she says she has "finally secured [her] legacy", and leaves.
