Howard brings Henri St. Pierre a birthday cake, and celebrates with Henri, Ken, Sandy and Will. They sing For He's a Jolly Good Fellow and decide to form a boy band called Acafellas; it was him who came up with that name. Howard rehearses This Is How We Do It with them in Will's living room. The Acafellas perform Poison at a bar, and they all receive good reviews, except Howard (even though Poison he is actually a relatively good singer). He later drops out of the group, saying it was never his dream.
