Sheila Faber, a famous syndicated columnist, writes and item about the Partridge Family after catching their performance. However, her article singles out Danny, praising him for his "personal magnetism" and "star quality." When Danny reads Sheila's column, all the praise goes straight to his head and that night he dreams he leaves the family act and becomes the biggest star in show business. The next night, he calls Reuben Kincaid and Danny's mysterious urgency has Reuben on the next plane. When Reuben arrives, Danny proceeds to tell him about his plans to leave the act and make it as a single, stressing that his only reason for this decision is financial security for his family. Because Reuben is sworn to secrecy, Shirley and the rest of the family don't know what to make of Danny's strange behavior, or Reuben's unexplained visit. A few days later, Shirley sees children and their mothers heading for the garage. When she goes to investigate, she finds Danny holding auditions to find a replacement and Shirley learns of his plans. Shirley, Reuben and the rest of the family launch a psychological attack on Danny, acting class about his plans to leave the group. They even get a replacement, Norman, who can sing a play better than Danny. On the night of their big performance in a famous Hollywood club, Danny finally realizes his real reason for wanting to quit glory, and the Partridge Family act stays together. A new tune, "Singing My Song," is introduced in this episode.
