Overview
Austin, Ally, Trish and Dez are excited to make their first big budget music video, but when Kira, a girl with terrible breath, gets hired to play Austin’s love interest, the gang must find a way to finish the video without hurting Kira’s feelings.

Episode Summary
Austin's next video will be produced by Starr Records, and Dez gets to film it. This is icky because usually you have to be a professional director, but Dez promised to film it at an amusement park. In order to skip out of getting a permit, Trish quits the one job she likes (Puffy's Pillows, where they actually want her to sleep all day) and gets a job at Phil's Fun Town. They meet Kira, a girl with horrible breath.

The first scene they film in on a Ferris ride, which gets stuck, and Austin has to spend an hour with Kira babbling about her life story. Then Kira and Ally get stuck in a giant hamster wheel, and they decide they should fire her. Then they learn that Kira is Jimmy Starr's daughter, so they have to keep her. In an attempt to subtlety fix her breath, Trish carries around a cart of free mints, but then people take all of them away before Kira gets one. Dez offers a corncob with toothpaste on it, but Kira denies it, calling for dogs disgusting, and eats a garlic-anchovy pizza instead. They also do a water shooting game and fill it with mouthwash, and Austin attacks Kira, but none enters her mouth.

They decide to get Kira disgusted so she quits. They give Austin a device that makes it seem like he's drooling, and she quits, disgusted. The next day, when they are recasting, Kira apologizes and decides to finish the video. Then Jimmy Starr empathizes with Austin for his drooling problem, claiming that he used to have a problem, too. He arranges for Austin to speak to a bunch of kids about how drooling doesn't stop you from reaching your dreams. During the speech, the drooling tool malfunctions, and Team Austin admits that they wanted her to quit because of her bad breath. Jimmy apologizes, and we learn that when he had surgery for his drooling problem, he lost his sense of smell. Jimmy promises to help with her breath, but they can't do it in time for the video, which is due that night.



Dez ends up filming the video properly, and the kissing scene is done where Austin and Kira are in separate hamster balls and they kiss through the plastic. As Team Austin goes back to Phil's Fun Town, the little girl with the lollipop ends up being the complainer that got Trish fired. Before the episode ends, Team Austin take pictures in the photobooth, and then the episode ends.

Goofs

 * After Kira talks to Trish, as she walks down the Wheel of Terror, if you look closely she bangs her foot on the lever.
 * When Austin and Kira are in the Tubs, when Kira is talking to Austin and Dez about how she wasn't able to do the video, none of them cringed like they did before.
