While the kids make their humorous but slightly off-base grabs at the spotlight, Taylor is quietly and diligently working behind the scenes to get things cleaned up, and to help a neighborhood girl, Ruby, plant flowers in her yard. In the process she very naturally shares with Ruby what is behind their efforts in the park today. Taylor is using her gifts, in a quiet way, to help others, and in the process she is pointing them to Jesus. Max appears on the scene, and lovingly helps show the kids that in the body of Christ, God has given gifts to all of us. We shouldn't use them to get attention for ourselves, and we don't need to envy somebody else's gifts, but we need to use the ones we've been given, and work together to serve others, glorify God, and point people to Jesus. Soon, the over-the-top Hollywood video director Stephie Steelburg arrives, it is time to shoot the video, and with a newfound understanding of really working together to use the gifts God's given, all the kids are ready for the climactic conclusion when the cameras roll, and Max shouts ... "Let's Rock!" The work is simple to perform, but packs a real punch, with rich characters, fast-moving dialog that is fun, but not "smart-alecky," and a strong Biblical "take-away" for the performers and the audience.
