The group of cheerleaders is seen discussing the votes that are required to become the next cheer team captain now that the previous captain is retiring. The cheerleading team aims to win the national title for the sixth consecutive year.
Torrance gets elected as the next captain and replaces Big Red, her predecessor for the cheer team, which makes several other members jealous of her.
Missy then, to prove her point, tales Torrance to L.A. for her to watch the East Compton Clovers’s cheer routine. The cheer team captain of East Compton Clovers confronts the pair about their intentions of coming and watching their routine. Isis reveals that Big Red videotaped their cheer routine and stole them for Toros to perform.
This leads to a brutal confrontation between the two that ends with the Clovers vowing to beat the Toros in the upcoming National Championship. Meanwhile, Torrance begins to worry about being cursed with bad luck after she drops the Spirit Stick during a dare at cheer camp. Mutual attraction starts to grow between Cliff and Torrance after the two start to spend time with each other.
Torrance informs the team about Big Red’s betrayal, but the cheer team votes in favor of performing the same routine for the upcoming nationals. Missy reluctantly goes along with the squad after Torrance agrees with the team due to her feeling incompetent to teach and learn a new routine in a limited time. The Toros team is left humiliated after the Clovers perform their routine at a Toros game.
The cheer team tries to raise money by car washing to hire Sparky Polastri, a brilliant dance choreographer. The team learned a new routine from Sparky, even though she regularly put the team on diets and belittled them for little things.
