On the day of both Walk-A-Thons, Tawni cannot move, and is carried to the hospital, and Sonny follows. Soon after, the TV at the hospital is showing a channel which is broadcasting both Walk-a-Thon events, and the people on the screen all fall down, as a result of SPS (Skinny Pants Syndrome), where skinny jeans cut off blood circulation to your legs. Everyone is brought to the hospital, and gets their pants cut off, much to Tawni’s dismay. Later, Tawni has to wear balloon pants, which is her medicine until her legs heal. Tawni decides to not wear them, and continues wearing skinny jeans. But when she sees her fans with SPS in the studio audience, she is inspired to make a music video to raise awareness for SPS.
