A television pilot is a standalone episode of a television series that is used to sell the show to a television network. At the time of its creation, the pilot is meant to be the testing ground to gauge whether a series will be successful; it is therefore a test episode for the intended television series, an early step in the series development, much like pilot studies serve as precursors to the start of larger activity. In the case of a successful television series, the pilot is commonly the very first episode that is aired of the particular series under its own name; the episode that gets the series "off the ground". A "back door pilot" is an episode of an existing successful series, featuring future tie-in characters of an up-and-coming television series or film. Its purpose is to introduce the characters to an audience before the creators decide on whether or not they intend to pursue a spin-off series with those characters.

Stanton High School's English teacher Mr. Lou Mazzuchelli always tries to inspire his students, but also wants to inspire them to the art of theater. The principal lets him be the new director of Stanton's drama club, despite previously offering the role to long time assistant director Tracey Wolfe. Although displeased, Tracey stays as assistant director, persuaded by Lou's determination to change the drama club. Spring Awakening is chosen as the new play; Lilette is cast as Wendla, Gwen as Ilse, and Simon as Hänschen. Lou lets Robbie Thorne, Stanton's football star, retake a test if he auditions for the play; Coach Strickland opposes but concedes. Robbie is cast as Melchior (the lead male role). Lou urges Robbie to fully commit to the play; Robbie does so after his mother persuades him to do what he wants. Later, at a meeting, the principal forces Lou to resign as club director due to the content of his play, reinstates Tracey, and assigns a new play. But the drama club—and Tracey—support Lou, protesting outside by burning theater costumes; Robbie threatens to quit football unless Lou and his play stay; the principal and Coach Strickland concede, as the bonfire continues.
