Kangaroos & Chaos

"Lyrics don't just flow out of me like a river after a rain of tears."

- Ally

"Kangaroos & Chaos" is the second episode in Season 1 of Austin & Ally. It first aired on Disney Channel, December 4, 2011.

Overview
After a month, Austin becomes worried that his career will end, and people will forget who he is. Under pressure, Ally scribbles down song lyrics to Austin's new song in illegible handwriting, prompting Dez and Trish to start gathering strange props for the music video, which they think correspond to her lyrics.

Episode Summary
Ally hasn't written a song in a month, and people are starting to forget Austin. Instead, they think he is someone named Ralphie Hayes from a dog food commercial. Soon the three of them start to pressure Ally to write a new song. Ally scribbles down Austin's new song lyrics in illegible handwriting due to being rushed and is super busy watching the store for her dad. Plus, she has a huge book to read by tomorrow for her book club. Soon, Dez starts gathering strange props for the music video, which he thinks correspond to her lyrics, like a kangaroo, caramel, a camel, and possibly a llama.

Meanwhile, Trish gets a job at the dry cleaners, where she borrows a championship jacket from a guy named Face Puncher, for Austin's music video when she read Ally's handwriting wrong. The kangaroo Dez ordered begins to chew on the jacket, so it and Dez get in a tug-of-war, but they end up tossing the jacket in a bucket of caramel, something else Dez ordered. Now Trish and Ally have to work together to get the caramel out of the jacket, but they accidentally shrink it and make it pink.

Later, Austin is watching the store for Ally when Dez steps on the kangaroo's tail in the music room, causing the kangaroo to destroy everything in the music room. Austin, Dez, Ally, and Trish have to find a way to repair everything in the music room, before Ally's dad finds out when he comes back from his accordion convention.
