Pete tries to inspire his platoon after Cody puts them on an unglamorous "parade duty" assignment, but someone is out to sabotage his efforts.

The members of Pete's platoon are tricked into being crash-test dummies for 2nd Lt. Tyson Schneeberger's experimental automobile; at the same time, Derrick is assigned what turns out to be the difficult task of taking Sgt. Maj. Cody's portrait.
