He awakens back in his own bed and when he tells the family, Medley hints that he may have stumbled into a hip hop Illuminati. Despte his family's disbelief, Tom returns to Kenny's to prove he did find the Illuminati but fails. After Tom leaves, Kenny goes to the group and tells him that Tom has been fooled. However, Tom continues to try to crash the gathering by disguising himself as a sea ostrich and manages to get in. After he is revealed, he tells of having written Kenny's hit song and they reveal their extent of their power. Tom tires to enter the group but is sent packing. But when he arrives home he finds the rest of the Illuminati there as they ask him to kill Kenny West's career as Kenny's pushy ego has offended the rest and they offer to let Tom into the Illuminati if he succeeds.

Principal Carl restarts the school marching band but Tyler is cut along with some other misfits. Deciding to take advantage of their particular musical instrument collection, they form a polka band. When the rappers hear the band playing Tom gets the idea to import the polka music into Kenny's rap act. Tom manages to convince Kenny thta polka is his way to reconnect to rap. As he thinks he has pulled off ruining Kenny's career, Kenny decides to give Tom the Grammy for their song. Tom tries to stop him but Kenny goes out with the polka band and actually makes a hit out of merging polka and rap. Even so, Kenny's rotten attitude gets even worse as the rappers berate Tom. However, Kenny decides he is too big for the group and leaves Tom in his place. But, the Illuminati choose to disband rather than endure Tom.
