Saturday Night Gordy / Derek's Better Half
Saturday Night Gordy Thanks to Nanette and her not-so-great ideas, Angela finds herself at a school dance with Gordy Rhinehart as her assigned partner. Surprisingly, once some funky music starts playing, Gordy morphs into a dancing god. He shakes his grove thing better then any other in Tapwater Springs. Soon Connie Brinks is offering Gordy and Angela the chance to dance on his local television show. Angela jumps at the opportunity. All she has to do is convince Gordy the show is a good idea. With a little persistence, he agrees - on one condition: Angela has to keep him happy. Which would seem simple enough until Gordy transforms into the ultimate Diva, demanding such things as having every pea removed from his casserole. Angela manages to endure Gordy's rock star posturing until the day of the television taping. While Angela stands in the studio wings, waiting for her name to be announced, Nanette's is called instead. Has Angela put up with Diva Gordy for nothing?
