Morgan tries to get a guy on her soccer team to like her. Hillary, as usual, accuses her of being too much of a tomboy. All Morgan has been doing in this episode is playing soccer, which is why Hillary tells her that if she wants to date the player on the team, she needs to quit and get into more ""girlish"" things. Morgan starts to go through with it until the Jersey transforms her into Clint Mathis, former star of the Los Angeles Galaxy. From conversing with teammate Cobi Jones, Morgan realizes that she should just be like herself and not worry about what others think. Morgan rejoins the soccer team and the guy ends up wanting to date her.

Morgan doesn't wanna be an alternate on the guys team. She declines the offer, thinking that she's better than them (and she proved it, too). So to get some ""real"" playing time, she jumps into Byron Defoe, goalie for the Boston Bruins. When she gets hurt, she wants an alternate to replace her, but all of the other goalies were hurt. That's when she learned the importance of an alternate. Meanwhile, Nick, Coleman, and Elliott are playing in their tournament and Elliott gets hurt. Morgan is nowhere to be found, so Phoenix Coyotes' star player Jeremy Roenick subs for Elliott.

Elliot, Nick, and Morgan are assigned a project at school concerning the colonial period. After refusing Elliot's ""special"" idea and Morgan's numerous great ideas, Nick is not willing to accept either idea. They eventually fail the project. The group keeps arguing until the Jersey takes Morgan and Nick to an Atlanta Braves game. Nick is the pitcher, Kevin Milwood, and Morgan is the catcher, Eddie Perez. The opposing batter is Gary Sheffield, of the Los Angeles Dodgers (at the time). Morgan tries to give Nick good pitching types, but Nick just throws how he wants to. Well, Sheffield is definitely ready to hit a homerun, but Morgan knocks some sense into him and they get out of the jam. Finally, Nick learns his lesson and the three redo their project. The turn it in and get a. . .C+!

Morgan returns as a new person, and finds a little success the second time around. Meanwhile, Coleman, Nick, and Elliot all need a new pair of shoes, but have absolutely no money.
