The Class learns the most important thing an actor can do, but Carson refuses to join in the waterworks. Luckily for him, the class is derailed by the strip-mall handyman, Cord.
Tom tries to hide that he's lost the dojo for good, so he throws the class into prepping Kim for a big audition. Their temporary home: a pre-school classroom.
The class begins to mutiny, so Tom pulls out all the stops: a full-scale "production" of his Southern Gothic play. The venue: a redneck barbecue at Cord's place.
The whole class has quit and scattered. Carson suddenly realizes after a show of courage at work that he's grown some brass ones - all due to Tom's Master Class. Can he talk his way back into Tom's good graces and bring them all back together?
