The pilot episode IS the first episode. The idea for Nice 'N Mean was for the "mean" half of Team A to go on a road trip/vacation so everyone else can get a break from them and they end up arguing in the car on the way.

The other idea was to have each side introduce their conflicting interests, and have a better bond with one another in the end. So yeah :P
