Teleplay by : David Wilcox 		September 1, 2025 (2025-09-01)
Charlie Cooper is about to graduate from high school and wants his newly formed band, Futhermucker, to get signed by a label before the end of summer. The band consists of his friends Topher Park, Neil Crosby and Pete Antuna. The band plays at a party that Pete is hosting at his house. They start well, but things go downhill quickly when Pete, who is on drums, starts playing offbeat. This causes a guy in the crowd, Bez, to heckle them. The band tries again, but the same thing happens. Pete goes to confront Bez, but he falls, breaks his nose, sets his house on fire, and the party ends. While Pete is being checked out by EMS, the rest of the band says they need to replace him before playing at a graduation party. They have auditions where they are surprised to see Bez show up. He blows them away. Bez and his best friend, Wyatt, who plays bass, join the band. Pete becomes their manager. Topher's girlfriend, Amanda, does not approve of him being in a band since they are both Princeton-bound. At the party Topher introduces the band as The Runarounds.
