That's Gauche V1 - The Beginning

Sam’s first day of kindergarten, where a classroom mix-up exposes him to language barriers, unfairness, and early glimpses of privilege, friendship, and socioeconomics, setting the tone for his childhood journey navigating school and identity. Sam meets Leo.

That's Gauche V1 - Physical Education

Sam’s anxiety and embarrassment in P.E., from teasing over his socks and failed layups to a painful playground scuffle, then shifts to flag football chaos, deepening bonds with Joe, rivalry with Leo, and a UIL contest that highlights Sam’s literacy and foreshadows his future academic path.

That's Gauche V1 - Breakin'

Sam’s fascination with breakdancing from watching his sister’s skilled moves to entering a school breakdance contest, where his simple worm routine surprisingly wins over flashier classmates, while flash-forwards and side scenes underline humor, embarrassment, and how style, status, and “gauche” moments shape his growing self-image.

That's Gauche V1 - New Kids on The Block

Sera and Robby transfer from private school to Marcell, nervously facing the feared Ms. Casarez while meeting Sam, Leo, Joe, and the others on the playground, where early bonds, jokes, and a humiliating swing-set accident reveal the group’s rough humor, class dynamics, and emerging friendships.

That's Gauche V1 - Remember the Alamo

The boys form rival teams to build Alamo dioramas, blending play, teasing, and small acts of revenge, while Robby’s fear of Ms. Casarez, a fake sick day, and a meatless burger mishap mirror Sam’s group losing the project vote amid suspicions of parental help and lingering resentment.

That's Gauche V1 - Super Team

A mixed “advanced” class pairs math nerds with infamous troublemakers like Chema and Orlando, creating a social and athletic powerhouse that dominates UIL math events under Mr. Cavazos, while moments with Laser Tag guns, pungent Ben-Gay, and Leo’s manipulative charm highlight status, envy, and shifting alliances.

That's Gauche V1 - Ding, Ding

Sam, Leo, Joe, Sera, and Robby test courage and pride on the towering rope climb, in recess scuffles, and within GT math class, where childish fights, Arnold’s confrontations, Pablo’s surprising strength, and Leo’s petty classroom authority show how ego, bravado, and loyalty collide in their fifth-grade world.

That's Gauche V1 - Halloween

Sam’s meticulously crafted Iron Sheik costume faces unexpected competition, triggering insecurity, a misguided “hooker” comment toward a classmate’s genie outfit, and the sting of losing the contest, while Leo’s crude puns and the teacher’s disapproval underline how image, misunderstanding, and shame shape Sam’s sense of self.

That's Gauche V1 - Side Quest

A schoolwide no-TV pledge, JJ’s hidden movie-copying setup, and debates over cheating on the challenge intertwine with Sam’s growing suspicion of others’ honesty, as errands for videotapes, shifting loyalties, and loopholes around rules reveal how the boys negotiate temptation, fairness, and their own moral gray areas.

That's Gauche V1 - Trippin'

Before a UIL meet, Leo and Sera convince Sam his sore throat might be mumps, causing him to go home, miss events, and later realize he was fine, while Sera’s injury, a high-stakes San Antonio trip, and an accidentally recycled test highlight luck, pressure, and rivalry within their math success.
