(the idiom "show up" has two separate meanings,

1) to appear at or attend an event, and

2) to upstage someone or demonstrate superiority)

"We did not know if our science teacher would show up at the school dance."

"The rookie detective thought that he could show up his fellow officers by singlehandedly catching the notorious thief."
