Overview[]

Austin helps out one of his favorite old rock and roll heroes to become famous again.

Episode Summary[]

When Austin gets his biggest check from Starr Records, he decides to share his wealth. He buys Dez a decked out ride, Trish her own kiosk and Ally a pair of crystal slippers from her favorite movie. However, he soon meets his childhood idol and favorite rockstar, Jackson Lowe, at the beach and, after seeing how he has become a bit of a beach bum, decides to return Jackson to the spotlight. He and Dez spend the day restyling Jackson—they go through a hardcore rockstar outfit, an Austin-esque outfit and a Dez-esque outfit—before deciding on an outfit that all of them agree on.

Trish books him and Jackson a gig at a night club; after reaching the club, they discover that Jackson has bolted and taken Dez's cart with him too. They find him and convince him to perform with Austin. They perform "I Got That Rock N' Roll." When Dez starts taking pictures, Jackson gets really angry and trashes the entire place. He then reveals that he was not truly a beach bum—he had saved up his money from his rock star days to buy nice items—but did not want to disappoint Austin and then left.

Meanwhile, Trish hires an employee for her kiosk—Bonnie—and discovers that Bonnie is like Trish when it comes to working: they don't work. They decide to be friends.
