Das Footballspiel der West Beverly Highschool gegen die raue Ghetto-Schule Saw High wird abgesagt. Der Grund sind angeblich Gangkriminalität und Gewalt. Nach einem Bericht für die Schülerzeitung lädt Brandon kurzerhand alle Schüler der Saw High auf den Schulball ein. Doch dort droht die Situation bald zu eskalieren.
West Beverly's undefeated football team prepares for a showdown with powerhouse Shaw High. The school decides to forfeit after two Shaw students are shot to death by gang members during a game. Brandon is furious because the West Beverly student body cares more about the homecoming dance (coordinated by Brenda) than the shootings. He and Jordan Bonner, editor of the Shaw paper, run each other's editorials in their papers without school permission. Brandon invites the Shaw students to the dance, drawing the wrath of his friends and the administration. A fight nearly breaks out--partially due to the overzealous security guards--but Nikki and Donna defuse the situation by asking the Shaw guys to dance. Dylan cheers up Kelly after her irresponsible father fails to show for dinner. David plays the school dance, but Donna fears that Sue has become his groupie. David rejects Sue's advances out of loyalty to Scott and Donna. Music: 'Switch It Up' performed by Brian Austin Green; 'Let Me Be Your Baby' by Geoffrey Williams.
