What If's & Where's Austin
While Austin is out getting breakfast burritos, Dez in the imagination sequence is shown to have no friends whatsoever, and willing to make one.

By the end, Dez kisses Trish when she has no one else except for him. But the imagination sequence ends when that happens for it is a nightmare for Austin, Trish, and Dez. Dez says that having Trish kiss him wasn't the worst thing in the world, but giving up directing was before Austin comes back, to which Dez goes outside to play banjo badminton with.

After the last concert of the Full Moon tour, Dez and the rest of his friends are in Washington D.C., wondering what to do on their last day after Austin gets an award for Teen Role Model of the Year - which Dez seems to be jealous of. The foursome decide to head over to the Smithsonian Museum, but wound up in trouble after Austin gets the silver shoes from the Wizard of Oz stuck on his feet. Though, seeing as Austin has to perform for the president somehow with the shoes on, he ends up putting on bigger shoes for the performance. However, the plan goes awry when Austin's shoe is accidentally kicked off his feet, about to hit the president. But, luckily, Dez is able to save the day and takes the hit for the presidents, resulting in him receiving a medal from him as well.

This makes them want to put the map to good use and find the hidden treasure somewhere around the beach. Through the episode, they attempt to look everywhere for it, but can't seem to find it anywhere. That being because the "map" is really a kid's menu from the old restaurant that originally was built in Shredder's place, as said by Hazel. In addition, when Ally throws a luau for Trish, Austin and Dez also sing the apology song they have for her as well. Then, the volcano with ketchup somehow erupts, thanks to Dez, having everyone go back to the beach club.

Mix Ups & Mistletoes
Wanting to play the role of Santa Claus for the orphan's Christmas party at the beach club, Dez has to first face Chuck in competing for the spot.

At one point, Dez is able to show that he can wrap presents in a little amount of time, but Chuck shows that he can too, so of course, they compete in this as well. However, it does get the job of fixing the presents done. However, at the beach club, Dez and Chuck still duke it out when it comes to who is still playing Santa, causing them to wreck several of the decorations there. Later on, the gang are able to perform I Love Christmas, and Dez plays the saxophone during this.

That being said, the nicer Trish is to Dez, the more money there will be left on the card when she does get it after a week. Throughout the episode, Trish seems to fail at the task of being nice to Dez, resulting in him much new clothing from the store each time.
