Yep, out with the old and in with the new class. What does any of this have to do with Oklahoma? Well, the opening episode of season five guest starred one of the Sooner State's most decorated athletes. Our story begins with the gang looking for jobs at the mall.
They all do well by getting various wacky jobs at various wacky mall stores except for Katie who gets fired from the "Suncoast" type store (remember those?) for lying on her resume. She wants to get a job at the gym but the head gym guy isn't convinced she's right for the job. Needing to prove herself and lacking the confidence, she runs into some inspiration:
Yep, Olympic gold medal winning champion Shannon Miller (from Edmond, OK) has stopped by the mall for a book signing. She gives Katie the old "get your poop together" pep talk and Katie gets inspired. After a brief run in with Mall Security Guard Screech (who's still on the show for some reason and way more annoying that I remember) Miller eventually makes it to her signing at the non-Suncoast.
Well that pep talk worked and Katie decides to market herself for the gym position by staging an impromptu workout class/membership drive in the middle of the mall. Mall Security Guard Screech, who has had a problem with literally every single thing that every single character has done in this episode so far, doesn't seem to mind.
And it works! Presumably she gets the job but more importantly she gets the high five and approval of an Olympian. This seems to resolve everything, the credits role and we all learned a valuable lesson, probably.
It might not be high art but definitely a gold medal winning outing for an Oklahoma legend. Also, Mr. Belding was there.
