Overview

Austin, Ally and Trish learn that Dez has an unexpected relative who is coincidentally a huge Austin Moon fan, in addition to being an NBA superstar.

Episode Summary

Austin is nervous about his performance that would be streamed all across the world to his international fans. Jace is watching the performance, although he was frozen most of the time. Dez tells the gang that his cousin Dwyane invited them to his house tomorrow, and that he is a huge Austin Moon fan. Austin is initially reluctant, saying he should rehearse more for concert. Ally says that they should go and that Austin needs a break anyway. Austin finally agrees, saying that he owes Dez for setting up the spotlights for the performance, but they end up falling.

At Dez's cousin's residence, the gang immediately notices how nice the house is. Austin rings the door bell, and the door bell plays an acoustic version of "Heart Beat". Ally remarks that it's a little weird, but Dez just says that he is a huge fan. Dwyane's assistant, Bogues, opens the door and tells them to enter at their own risk, since he just waxed the floors. Dez's cousin comes out from the great room and is revealed to be NBA superstar Dwyane Wade. Dez explains that Dwyane is his half-second-cousin-in-law, twice removed. Trish introduces herself by saying that she has never missed a Heat game. In her defense she's not a basketball fan, but she's a Dwyane Wade fan. When Bogues makes another scary remark, Dwyane says that he would fire him, but he, too, is scared of Bogues. Austin, Dez, and Dwyane start playing Austin's favorite dance game, "Dance Explosion". When Dwyane reveals that he made his own Austin Moon avatar, Ally once again notices that it's strange.

Ally pulls Trish off to the side and tells her that she thinks Dwyane is more than just a big fan; it's almost like he is obsessed with Austin. Trish, completely blindsided by her crush, agrees that Dwyane is cute. When Ally thinks that something is definitely off, she wants to have a look around. Trish wants to call Jace, not because she misses him, but because she wants to brag that she is at Dwyane Wade's house. Jace momentarily picks up, but hangs up after saying only a few words. While Trish is mad about Jace, Ally found Dwyane's books. He had changed all the famous books to make them about Austin. Some of the books include "Austinberry Finn" and "The Austinback of Notre Dame". Trish doesn't think it's insane, but creative. Ally argues that Trish is merely blinded by her crush on Dwyane, but Trish tells her that her heart belongs to what's-his-face, or Jace. They leave to do some more snooping around.

Meanwhile, Austin, Dez, and Dwyane played 37 rounds of "Dance Explosion" without taking a bathroom break. Dwyane leaves for a phone interview, but not before convincing Austin to stay by having Bogues make him pancakes. Austin initially didn't want to impose, but in the end he couldn't resist pancakes.

While they are eating pancakes, Austin asks Dez to explain their relation once again. Dez says that his half-grandmother's second sister married Dwyane's half-brother's uncle's third cousin. Ally comes in and shares that she has found creepy Austin stuff everywhere. Bogues comes in with a stack of pancakes with Austin's face on it. Trish finally admits that it's a little creepy. Ally shows Austin the changed book titles such as "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Austin and "Austin and Juliet." Austin accidentally stumbles upon Dwyane's Austin Moon shrine. There's photos and bobbleheads, even an Austin Moon cuckoo clock. Austin believes Ally, saying that the whole thing is a little cuckoo.

Realizing that they need to get out of that house, the gang rushes to the door, only to be intercepted by Bogues. Bogues stop them, saying that no one leaves Casa D. Wade ever. Ally proposes that they plan a game of hide and seek, making Bogues "it". While Bogues counts to 50, the gang quickly uses their opportunity to escape.

Back at Sonic Boom, Dez is still oblivious to the fact that they are not really playing hide and seek. He hides inside of the piano, and Trish purposely plays it. The hide and seek ploy didn't work, since Dwyane is now at Sonic Boom. Dwyane wanted to show them his song, and was hoping that he and Austin could perform it at his next gig, since he always wanted to be a rockstar. Austin and Ally begin to turn him down, but Dez swoops them away before they could. Dez explains that Dwyane gets obsessed with things, but once he does them, he moves on. Seeing this as an opportunity to get rid of Dwyane, Austin accepts. Dwyane performs his song, but he just rhymed "girl" with "girl" 11 times.

In the practice room, the gang try to decide who is gonna tell Dwyane that his song is horrible. Seeing as they have no other choice, Austin suggests that they try and fix the song, inviting Dwyane to an emergency songwriting session. Ally comes up with a better idea. She suggest that they take the new song they just finished, and trick Dwyane into thinking that he wrote it.

Down at the grand piano, Austin and Ally begin their emergency songwriting session by saying that they have a few minor suggestions. They changed the key and the lyrics to the song, and Dwyane is happy with the outcome, saying that he is a better songwriter than he originally thought. Austin says it's amazing what a few minor changes can do.

Ally is nervous about the performance, as she keeps pacing around. Bogues shows up and reassures them they have nothing to worry about, since he helped Dwyane with his choreography. On stage, Austin gives a shout out to his fans all around the world and introduces Dwyane Wade as the songwriter. They successfully perform "What We're About".

After the performance, Dwyane reveals that he knows that Austin and Ally tricked them, and that he knows that he didn't write the song. Dwyane forgives them because he got to be a rockstar because Austin. They do the "Austin and Dez" handshake, which is originally Dwyane's. Dwyane leaves, saying that he'll see Dez at Thanksgiving.

Dez comes into Sonic Boom with a cart full of stuff from Dwyane's Austin Moon shrine. It turns out that he threw out everything, even the cuckoo clock. Dez is back to being the #1 Austin Moon fan, and he accidentally reveals that he has an Austin Moon shrine too. Meanwhile, Jace got Trish a chair delivered to Sonic Boom. Trish initially wasn't a fan of the chair, but it is revealed to be a massage chair with a TV and a cooler. Jace explains that he wasn't blowing her off, but working extra hours to afford the chair. He wants to make up for not always being there for shoulder rubs, movies and milkshakes. Trish admittedly says that it was a sweet gesture, and apologizes to Jace for ever doubting him.
