Overview[]
When Austin disappears before his scheduled performance on “Video Countdown Live,” the gang soon discovers Brooke is holding Austin captive and threatens to hurt him and the gang unless he writes a song for her. So Ally, Dez, and Trish have to find a way to help him.
Episode Summary[]
Austin gets new shoes (that he dubs "Moonwalkers") given to him by a shoe company who wants him to use every time he performs. Trish tells him he should debut them later at the Austin Moon Video Countdown Live Special, which is a voting contest of the top 10 voted Austin songs. Dez exclaims he personally voted 700 times for "Finally Me". Even though Austin tells him it's Ally's song, he says he likes what he likes.
Later at night, when the show is about to start, Austin can't find his Moonwalkers in his bag. He then flees off to Sonic Boom to get them while Jett Deely and Dez starts the countdown. He finds them in the practice room, but is held captive by Brooke who was the one that sneaked in and stole his shoes. She keeps him as a hostage until he writes her a love song, threatening to cut the shoelaces of his Moonwakers. When Trish starts to worry about Austin, she comes to Sonic Boom but ends up getting trapped in the practice room too due to Brooke removing the door handle from inside.
Austin tells Trish to text Ally to get them out of there. Ally sends Dez there but he dresses up as a spy blasting downwards from the vents but instead enters the room inside. Their last chance is Ally, who, with Jett announces the last song. The three manage to get out of the door by trying to blast the door out, but Ally opens the door just in time and before they even hit the door. Austin finally comes back to perform an illusionistic-gravitational performance of "Upside Down" dedicated to his fans (except for Brooke). Back at Sonic Boom, the team talks about how Austin's moonwalker shoes are selling out. Dez makes shoes of his own, which basically is just that he put heavy dumbbells over his feet.

Goofs[]
- In the Top Ten, the video of Timeless should not be there, because it was only a dream of Austin. One of the Austin & Ally writers on Twitter addressed this issue and stated that originally there was a scene that joked about where the video came from. However, Austin could have sung it off-screen and Ally could have written it off-screen, but the video should still not be there. Though it is possible that it really happened, as dreams are reminders of what will happen in the future.
- Team Austin eat food in Sonic Boom twice in this episode, which is violating Ally's strict "no eating in the store" rule. However, since it hasn't been mentioned since season 1, it is possible that Ally no longer bothers with the rule.
- Brooke should have been arrested for kidnapping Austin, because it is against the law to kidnap someone, especially a famous pop star. However, Brooke could've been arrested off-screen and simply escaped jail or been paroled, as she appears again in the episode Mysteries & Meddling Kids.
- Team Austin didn't even consider calling the cops on Brooke or threaten to have her arrested. However, this might've been because they knew how dangerous Brooke is and called the cops after the concert.
