Episode Summary

Austin and Ally are asked to be on the singing competition show, America's Top Talent, as celebrity guest judges for "Moon Week". When they are introduced to the three contestants, Ally sees a shy girl that reminds her of herself--Lucy, who turns out to be the joke contestant – and, to the shock of everyone else, decides to take little Lucy under her wing. However, when she and Austin work on turning Lucy into a top contender, Ally ends up controlling and changing everything about Lucy and indirectly says that Lucy will be fine as long as she is not herself. When Ally tries to justify herself at the competition, she accidentally reveals that Lucy was taken on to be the joke contestant, which turns into a bit of a misunderstanding. Ultimately, Ally explains herself to Lucy and tells her to just be confident in being herself. Lucy ends up performing "Who I Am" – as opposed to "Don't Look Down", which Ally had originally told her to sing – and actually wins the entire competition.

Meanwhile, Trish and Dez create signs cheering Austin and Ally on, in hopes of making it onto the show. They fail twice.
