Overview
Ally, Trish and Dez imagine how their lives would be if they’d never met Austin.
Episode Summary
Team Austin are now in Missouri, and Dez wakes them up for breakfast, But After another one of Dez's disastrous attempts at making breakfast, Austin goes to get everyone breakfast burritos at the diner.(With the exceptions of cameos in the imagination sequence and the end, Austin makes no further appearance in this episode). While he's gone, the gang imagines what life would have been like if they had never met Austin.
In their life without Austin, Ally repriminded Austin for playing on the drums with corn dogs, and he quietly apologized before leaving. Trish comes in, having started work at the Cupcake Store after getting fired from the Recycling Center and the two encounter friendless, weirdo Dez. Meanwhile, Ally plays her slow version of Double Take for Trish, and Trish's idea of making it better is to slow it down further and make it soulful. She sings as indicated; Dez applauds both of them. Trish
Fame immediately goes to Trish's head; she rejects Finally Me, prefers to sing a song that talks about how her fans are inferior to her, begins to act very selfish and somewhat self-centered on Ally. She also hires Dez to be her 'friend' that is really just an assistant. Ally eventually loses interest in music, and becomes a scientist -- she even turns the practice room into a chemistry lab.
When Trish performs her song, she gets boo-ed and immediately loses all her fame. Ally and Trish had an argument. Back at Sonic Boom, Dez was arranging jellybeans for her dressing room, but spilled them all. Trish admits that Ally is the real talent, and thinks she should be a manager because she liked the booking concerts, and behind the scenes. Through this, she realizes that, she lost her record deal and her best friend all along. Dez always admits she's not alone, and still with her. They share a kiss, and after that they scream loudly, including Ally, and that's when they stop imagining, thinking their lives would be terrible. Austin comes back with the burritos a moment later. They all hugged him leaving Austin confused when he was gone for only an hour. Dez said he'll explain it to him playing a game and went outside. Trish was wondering if their lives would've been like that without Austin, but Ally said it was all their imagination, and that they were friends before they met Austin. Trish states that kissing Dez wasn't the worst, losing her best friend is and they hug. Ally bubble-wrapped all corners so if Austin does fall and get hurt, Trish added training wheels on the skate board so he won't fall, and Dez made him breakfast which Austin thinks it's aatmeal, but it was actually pre-chewed bacon and eggs which Austin didn't eat. Austin states that nothing bad will happen to him, want into the room, gets attacked by the chicken, and Dez's disastrous attempts to make breakfast.
