Meanwhile, Adam is trying to figure out who he should ask to prom. He has a huge crush on a girl named Dana, but he's too nervous to ask her out. His sister, Erica, tries to convince him to just go for it, but Adam keeps finding excuses not to.

Despite these setbacks, the family remains optimistic and hopeful for a successful prom night.
The episode concludes with the Goldberg's arriving at prom, looking happy and festive. Erica is shocked to see that Geoff has flown in to surprise her and they happily dance the night away.
