Two years before the episode in which Maestro's appears takes place, Cat, André, Robbie, Rex, Jade, and Beck walk in the rec room to find a ping pong table. Robbie suggests they forma. official ping pong team, but Jade rejects the idea. Days later, Cat meets them in the Blackbox Theater and tells them her parents took to Maestro's over the weekend, and said they had amazing steaks, crab cakes, lobster mashed potatoes, classy live music, and the most insane desserts she had ever tasted. Robbie said they gotta go there, but Cat tells him the restaurant is very expensive. Going back to Robbie's idea about forming a ping pong team, Jade comes up with a plan to form a fake ping pong team, take the $1,500 Hollywood Arts High School gives the teams for travel and equipment to spend at Maestro's. When they need a faculty advisor for their team, they go to Sikowitz, who considers their plan devious and illegal, but tells them Principal Eikner will be fired unless a Hollywood Arts sports team takes home a trophy. Sikowitz is on board after they rework the plan for all of them to have the fancy dinner at Maestro's and use the leftover money to buy a trophy, saving Principal Eikner's job.
After Tori learns the truth about the secret dinner at Maestro's, she agrees to keep quiet about it in exchange for Jade letting her join the "ping pong team" right before their next "tournament". Cat says their bill is never over $700, but during the gang's latest dinner there, the bill is $1300 due to Robbie unknowingly ordering $600 worth of caviar, causing a minor conflict. Sikowitz tells the manager, Claude, that they do not have enough money to pay the check, but Claude says payment is required, or he must call the police. Sikowitz heads out to the patio as the conflict resumes, until Mr. Conrad, the owner, asks Claude why there is no live music. Due to performers Perry and Jordan unable to perform at Maestro's because of Perry taking a ball to the head while golfing, Tori and André perform "Tell Me that You Love Me" to gives the customers the classy, live music they go to the restaurant for and to fix the payment issue. Sikowitz goes back inside after seeing no arguing and enjoys the performance.

Trivia[]
"Maestro" is Spanish for male teacher. It is also an honorific title of respect.
The events of The Great Ping Pong Scam bear similarities with the Big Time Rush episode "Big Time Double Date". In both episodes, both groups eat at a fancy restaurant, do a performance, and feature a character shocked after getting the check.
