The whole episode is centered by the midnight sun. Fleischman becomes obsessed with the continual sunlight, never stopping, never sleeping. We find out there is an annual basketball game between Cicely and a nearby town. Fleischman has great knowledge of the game and is asked to coach the locals. The problem is that at some point the tilt of the earth changes everything. Also, Joel should know what lack of sleep eventually does to a human body Nevertheless he becomes a tyrant, pushing the troops (a lot of them older men). Two subplot involve Shelly in her cheerleading outfit being ogled by Holling. And Ruth Anne has some time with a traveling clothing salesman. There are a few good moments.
