Plot Overview
Brendon wants to do his personal masterpiece, "Louie Louie" (based on a chance meeting of Louie Pasteur and Louis Braille), but Melissa, Jason, Dwayne and his band all want to make a rock opera based on Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis. Brendon stubbornly refuses to make it, and breaks up with Jason and Melissa.
McGuirk has gotten a student coach to help him out, Coach Andrew. Andrew is actually good with kids, good at playing soccer, and helps the team to actually win some games, gaining the admiration and respect of the team. McGuirk decides to take him out.
