Plot[]

Marshallwithachance1

Grady dousing himself in water after he eats wasabi in his mouth.

Grady, Nico, and Sonny are showing Marshall a sketch called "Where's the Wasabi?", a Japanese game show where they try to find which sushi has the wasabi. Sonny tries the salmon but it just tastes fishy and Grady tries the octopus but it has real wasabi and he needs water. Marshall thought the sketch was lame, so he tells them to think of a better one by the end of the day.

The next scene was of the So Random! cast in the prop house late at night, trying to come up with a sketch to send Marshall over email. After Sonny suggests a sketch about a lizard traveling to the North Pole, they all start making fun of Marshall for being a mama's boy, and just being Marshall in general. Sonny ends up accidentally sending the recording of them making fun of Marshall to him and they all freak out.

The next day, Sonny, Tawni, Nico, and Grady are in Marshall's office and Marshall tells them he is cranky because he wants to do

something bigger with his life. So Sonny encourages Marshall to fulfill his dream of putting on a one-man show entitled "My Life with Ma." Marshall gets all excited and takes two weeks off to put on his big show.

While the So Random! cast enjoys relaxing with Marshall gone, in walks a guy named "Stanley," also known as "Savage Stan," who tells them that he will be taking over while Marshall is away. Grady says with a name like Stanley he must be a pushover, but it turns out he is the former executive producer of Tween Gladiators. He makes them dress as gladiators and do random exercises and battles and stuff like that. Also, Grady keeps getting wasabi in his eye.

Sonny calls Marshall to see when he'll be back and he replies he has quit So Random! to go into theater. They go to the theater to get him back, where he does his show for them (which is terrible). Tawni tells him it is perfect and he goes to tell his ma. After he leaves Sonny tells them it was awful and she doesn't want him to embarrass himself with that show, Tawni replies that she knows and if he blows the show he'll come back to them. Sonny tries to go tell him, but Nico picks her up and carries her out, leaving a wasabi-blind Grady alone in the theater.

The next day Marshall is cleaning out his office. Sonny comes in and tells him what she really thought of his show, saying it needs a "big something". Marshall thinks she is asking to be in the show and gives her the role of "Ma". Sonny is not happy about it but does it anyway.

They do the show and when it is over Nico starts booing and the entire crowd jumps in. Sonny, pretending to be Ma, tells them they should be ashamed and not boo him for his failure, but applauding for his courage. No one listens and Marshall decides to give up his dream. Sonny tells him he won't because it is him that causes the laughter for So Random! and Marshall comes back saying that his performing days are over, making everyone clap.

The end is a sketch for a wasabi commercial.
