Alan is busy working on his sonata in his room when his friends rush in, trying to get him to go to the carnival with them. Alan initially turns them down, but he can’t concentrate and decides to go. Meanwhile at the mall, Sarah has been tricked into wearing a cupcake costume to pass out Moody’s coupons. While passing them out, she meets Chuck, who’s dressed as gelato passing out McScreamy’s coupons. Chuck asks her to the movies and she agrees, but Mr. Moody isn’t pleased. That night, Alan has trouble with his sonata and realizes he never should have gone to the carnival. He falls asleep and is later woken up by Eric, a fellow hall mate, who needs to use Alan’s computer to cheat on an assignment. After watching Eric, Alan finds an obscure sonata on the Internet and decides to copy it. The next day, Mr. Pesckow shows up in Alan’s room, asking Alan about the sonata he turned in. Alan’s worried that he’s caught, but Mr. Pesckow loves it and wants Alan to finish the sonata for the school’s Benefactor’s Recital. Meanwhile, Mr Moody shows Sarah what to do if Chuck tries to put his arm around her or get the end of the night smooch. This becomes the least of Sarah’s problems when she realizes that Chuck is much shorter than she is. His costume made him look taller. Alan decides to copy another piece of music off the Internet when Joseph Schultz (played by Mr. Moody) visits him, he’s the composer of the music Alan stole. He convinces Alan that he needs to be original with his work – he needs to do the right thing. Meanwhile, the kids have been recruited by Mr. Moody to spy on Sarah. They watch her from the back of the movie theatre. Sarah sees them and asks the girls for help. Out in the mall, Sarah admits that Chuck being short is a problem for her.

Alan assures them he’ll take full blame for anything that happens. Alan performs his “Hip Hopera” to raucous applause.
