The Las Vegas Strip—home to posh hotels, wild bars, amazing shows, and soon to be seven lucky contestants from Strip Search. The boys leave their bachelor-style digs for Vegas, knowing that only seven of the eight remaining boys will be given a contract to participate in Billy’s dance team.

With just days to go until opening the night, the boy’s apprehension hinders their ability to nail the moves. Josh struggles with memorizing a script that Billy has given him for opening night. At rehearsal, Josh forgets his lines and puts his own spin on some of them, which agitates Billy. Billy tells him to stop talking back, and he is left wondering if Josh will ever be ready to host the show. Billy also chastises Terry for concealing his personality on stage.

Back in the room, Billy tells the gang that he is ready to select members for his troupe. He starts off by only selecting four—Shawn, Ryan, Tony, and Adam. The remaining three—Terry, Rick, and Bryan, must now vie for two remaining spots. The seven member group includes Josh, who is the host, and six dancers. Terry, Rick, and Bryan most show Billy that they can rock the stage in the next day in order to be selected.

As the rehearsals intensify, Sharon gives each of the four selected boys a solo and tells the other three guys that they must memorize multiple solos, making it difficult for the guys to keep track. Rick especially has a difficult time remembering his dance moves. Bryan struggles when a slight “wardrobe malfunction” causes him to sloppily remove his pants like an overweight fifty-year-old man having an affair in a cheap motel. Billy asks Jose the costume designer to fix the pants and he boils over. Jose tells Billy that he needs more time and more help and he proceeds to cuss Billy out.

The day of the final rehearsal, Sharon takes Terry, Rick, and Bryan aside to ask if they have any questions about their dance moves. Rick and Bryan ask questions, while the over-confident Terry does not worry. Later that day, Billy comes to talk to the guys and tells them that he has selected the last two people for the group. Terry is the first to be selected. Billy states that Terry really knows his dance moves and he is now able to convey his personality to the audience. Billy then compliments both Rick and Bryan, and proceeds to choose Rick as his last man. Bryan and the rest of the group are visibly shaken, and Billy instructs Bryan to go and pack his bags. The guys of the group start tearing up and loosing control of their emotions, and Terry makes a tearful plea for Bryan to be able to stay another day so that he can see the guys on opening night. Billy asks Bryan if he would stay, and he cordially obliges.
