With the Miss Teenage Hairspray pageant underway, Velma assigns police officers to prevent Tracy from entering the studio, while rigging the pageant tallies to ensure Amber wins. Penny arrives at the pageant with Edna, while Wilbur, Seaweed, and the Negro Day kids sneak Tracy into the studio. As Amber is about to be declared the winner, Tracy crashes the pageant and dances for the title. Link breaks away from Amber to dance with Tracy, then brings Little Inez onstage and dances with her as well. To Velma’s horror, Little Inez wins the pageant after a late surge of voting, successfully integrating "The Corny Collins Show". Velma reveals her rigging scheme to Amber in front of a camera manned by Edna, and is instantly fired. The dancers all celebrate while Tracy and Link share a kiss.
