[edit] Episode walkthrough

Abe asks Cleo to the prom by standing on a pyramid of tigers, perched atop a whale riding a unicycle, and she accepts. However, he is nervous that Cleo wants to have sex on prom night. He talks to his foster dad, who advises him to have sex with her, as she is “Cleo-friggin-patra!”

Scudworth wakes up from his fall, but has amnesia. Mr. Butlertron fills Scudworth in on everything, but leaves out the fact that the Evil Board of Shadowy Figures is coming to kill him and take the Clones on prom night. Meanwhile, the Evil Board prepares their attack, accompanied by various co-conspirators and celebrity guests from past episodes.

Gandhi, afraid of being forced to go to prom stag, organizes a Prom Posse with nine other guys: George Washington Carver, Vincent van Gogh, Genghis Khan, Moses, Nostradamus, Buddha, Martin Luther King Jr., Thomas Edison, who join him (Gandhi) when he tells them they'll leave with a hundred ladies (Moses works out that that's "TEN LADIES EACH!!!)."

Joan, now made over by Cleo to look like a “slutty teenage beach whore,” makes her grand entrance into the school. The boys can’t help but stare, and JFK instantly runs up to her to ask her to the prom. She rejects him, but is immediately confronted by Abe, who tells her he has asked Cleo to prom. She becomes angry that guys only go for “giggly, vapid sluts,” and decides to become one in order to spite Abe. To that end, she accepts JFK’s prom invitation. Abe feels unaccountably uneasy about this.

On prom night, JFK, Abe, Cleo and Joan meet at Cleo’s house for pictures. Abe seems annoyed at JFK, and Cleo threatens Joan to stay away from Abe. As they leave, Joan gets pissed off at JFK when she finds out that he’s taking Catherine the Great and the Brontë sisters to the prom as well. Gandhi and his prom posse arrive at prom in a double-wide Winnebago, wearing matching white tuxedos.

At prom, almost no one is having a good time. Abe is too nervous about sex to enjoy it. Gandhi’s Prom Posse is a failure, and he (nor the other Posse members) are getting any dry humping. He has an awkward moment with Marie Curie, whose date has run off. After Cleo and Abe run off to have sex, Joan gives up the slut act and leaves the prom, angry with herself. JFK follows her, and admits that he likes her, and likes her even more when she’s “not pretending to be a slutty whore.”

Cleo and Abe are in the prom’s private suite, getting ready to have sex. Cleo takes off her clothes, but Abe sees floating Joan heads covering her privates. Cleo realizes that Abe is in love with Joan and, finally, so does Abe.

Scudworth rigs the voting so that he can be prom king, but when Scangrade (the prom king vote counter) is about to announce the winner, John Stamos shows up, and Scangrade changes its mind and gives the crown to Stamos. Scudworth confronts Stamos, who graciously offers him the crown. Scudworth becomes angry and stabs Stamos with the crown.

Meanwhile, Gandhi again sees Marie Curie. Gandhi apologizes for the way he acted earlier. Marie Curie says he’ll always have a place in her heart. She suggests they dry hump, but Gandhi realizes that, in truth, he feels too young. After all, “the driest love of all is abstinence.”

The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures burst into the prom. But, knowing the Secret Board’s weakness, Stamos, covered in blood, gets up and tells everyone that Scudworth was about to start a conga line. Stamos has a plan. The Secret Board agrees, and Abandoned Pools provide the music as everyone forms a conga line.

Meanwhile, Gandhi and Marie are running to tell everyone about the wonders of abstinence; Cleo’s running to find Abe; and Abe’s running to find Joan. They all make it to the flash freezer room at the same time as the conga line. Inside, they all discover Joan and JFK in bed together. At Stamos’ command, Scudworth runs out of the freezer, and Stamos flicks the flash freezer’s switch from inside. Secret Board, celebrity guests, and clones all freeze solid. Right before freezing solid, a saddened Abe only has time to say, “But Joan, I love y-... J-Cl!”

[edit] Featured cast

[edit] Featured clones

[edit] Special appearances

Because this was the season finale (and, ultimately, the series finale), the creators of Clone High decided to include as many characters from past episodes as possible. Besides all of the clones, many other guest stars and supporting characters can be seen in the background at the prom. They are listed here, organized by original episode.

Also, several other recurring characters who aren’t clones can be seen at prom, including:

  • The policeman
  • The albino student
  • Mr. Sheepman
  • Toots
  • Cleo’s Drunk Foster Mom
  • Abe’s foster parents
  • Gandhi’s foster parents
  • JFK's foster parents

The only episode which does not contribute any characters is Episode 4, Film Fest: Tears of a Clone. This is not entirely surprising, because it was an episode with no guest stars that took place mostly within the school.

[edit] References

[edit] Historical references

  • Marie Curie says that Rock Hudson is “off teaching Oscar Wilde to play pool.” Both Original Rock Hudson and Original Oscar Wilde were gay.
  • Marie Curie places Gandhi’s hand on her heart, which, because of her mutated DNA, is located somewhere around her stomach.

[edit] Popular culture references

  • JFK says at one point, “My Kennedy sense is tingling.” Spider-man is known for his spider sense, which also tingles.
  • Gandhi says, “Hey ladies, who wants some G-love, hold the special sauce.” G. Love & Special Sauce is a hip hop band.
  • John Stamos tells a story about himself and “Saget” doing “promotion for Full H.” He is referring to Bob Saget and the show they did together, Full House.
    • The story also involves Stamos drumming (“hitting sticks”) for the band The Beach Boys.
  • The whole GFK makeover is much like the story to She's All That. Even the line "Tell me I was a bet, tell me," is from the movie

[edit] Trivia

  • Most Clone High episodes have two titles, separated by a colon. In the tradition of the season finale, everything has to be bigger, so this episode has four titles, separated by three colons.
  • Joan’s post-makeover runway-style walk into the school is reminiscent of a similar scene with Gandhi after his makeover in Episode 12, Makeover, Makeover, Makeover: The Makeover Episode.
  • The “fellow conspirators and celebrity guests” who join the Board of Shadowy Figures include Tom Green, Marilyn Manson, the X-Stream Blu crew, Mandy Moore, Skunky-Poo, Dan Patrick, and Ashley Angel.
  • The prom’s theme is “A Magical Night in the Meat Locker.” It takes place in a real meat locker, because the gym is closed for repairs after someone wore black-soled shoes in there.
  • Abe again refers to Cleo as ‘Joan’ throughout the episode, foreshadowing his eventual epiphany.
  • The live band at the prom is Abandoned Pools, who provide much of the music for Clone High; including the theme song.
    • The original Abandoned Pools do not have a dolphin as bassist.
    • Tommy Walter, lead singer of Abandoned Pools, plays himself.
    • The song they play during the climactic conga scene is “Start Over.” It was also used at the end of Episode 1, Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand. The song, with its chorus, “Can’t we start over?” seems an excellent frame for a show about cloned historical figures.
  • It’s revealed that this is the clones’ Winter Prom.
  • Even before the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures bursts into the prom, many of their company can be seen at the prom, including Mandy Moore, Tom Green, and Skunky-Poo.
  • Joan’s hair at prom is a wig.
  • This is probably the only prom ever to have a “Private Suite” for sexual encounters.
  • There is a montage of 23 scenes from throughout the series where Abe failed to notice that Joan loves him.
  • Marie Antoinette is still decapitated from Episode 12, Makeover, Makeover, Makeover: The Makeover Episode.
  • For a few frames, we can clearly see Joan’s breasts, but covering the nipples is a message from the animators saying “Nice try.”
  • When Principal Scudworth throws the fetus jar against the wall it cries.
