Rocky and CeCe do an audition in Chicago, but CeCe freezes and isn't selected. Rocky doesn't want to do the show without her best friend and tries to think of a way to get the host to reconsider.

Rocky and CeCe open savings accounts for the money they earn on the show. They offer to treat Ty and Deuce to dinner but are embarrassed to discover they are already overdrawn after a spending spree.

Rocky has signed herself and CeCe up to help at a senior citizens' centre, and they agree to do a danceathon to raise funds. CeCe is selfishly determined to win.

If CeeCee fails her algebra test, her parents will make her leave the show. CeeCee gets a tutor, an eight-year-old genius called Henry. However, it turns out she's dyslexic.

Deuce tells Rocky and CeeCee they are too alike and spend too much time together. They do things separately, but CeeCee gets jealous when Rocky enjoys her karate class too much.

The girls are excited that pop sensation Justin Starr is coming to Chicago, and dream of him falling for one of them. Then they discover he's actually 24 and already married.
