The crew surprises Captain Stubing with the news that they are putting on a musical revue as entertainment for the passengers, with a script co-written by Gopher and Isaac. Gopher's mother RoZ, Julie's Aunt Sylvia, Isaac's mother Millie, and Doc's former mother-in-law Connie Carruthers are all planning to take part but also expecting to star in it. The Captain publicly declines to play the lead role in it, but privately fantasizes about being in it and even practices for it.
