S1, E4: Ian tries to get into watching Buffer, the strange sport played only at Tower Prep that all of his friends – especially CJ – absolutely love, but he just can’t get his head around the rules or the fact everyone adores the Buffer Team Captain Cal with whom Ian has a budding rivalry. The rivalry is made worse when Coach gets Ian a job as Team Manager – effectively making him the ‘towel boy” to Cal. Ian is approached by a different coach - Coach History - who thinks Ian’s special skills will help his team win against Cal’s team but Ian turns down his offer. When circumstances lead Ian to believe that there is a direct connection between Coach History and The Gnomes, Ian decides to join the Buffer team to possibly infiltrate The Gnomes. As Ian gets deeper in and the championship game looms ever closer, Ian must decide what’s more important to him – being true to his mission and his friends or letting his rivalry with Cal overtake his reasons for playing.
