Overview

Trish is working her brand new job at Miss Suzy’s Soups. Coincidentally, Trish’s boss is also Ally’s former teacher. A playful prank turns into a foul recipe for disaster when Miss Suzy's business starts to get lost because of Ally. Will our four heroes be able to recover the losses, or will Miss Suzy’s Soups be doomed?

Episode Summary

Ally joins a social networking website called Tweeter. She is amazed and happy when she gains 5,000 followers after she posts a picture of her "spider soup" while eating at Ms. Suzy's Soups, a restaurant owned by her former grade school teacher. But when her picture makes people stop eating at Ms. Suzy's Soups, she feels guilty and tries to help by making Mrs.Suzy a commercial starring Austin and Trish, filmed by Dez, and directed by herself. Mostly, through her helping, she wants Ms. Suzy to give her a gold star, like she always gives everyone else. Ally goes a bit overboard with her plans and almost ruins everything. Dez saves the day by editing her commercial to make it a hit. Finally, Ms. Suzy explained she only gave gold stars to people that needed motivation and that Ally never needed one; but, to make her feel better, she gets a gold star from Ms. Suzy. The next day, Ally arrives at Sonic Boom completely covered, from head to toe, in gold stars, catching the others off-guard.

• When Trish is showing Ally different pictures of objects in bowls of soup, it looks like Trish's thumb is on the screen of her phone, but when it actually shows the pictures on the phone, her thumb isn't on the screen.
• Although Ally has stage fright, Dez was able to secretly film her for the commercial. If Ally saw herself in the commercial, she'd most likely freak out, but instead she was happy that she saved Suzy's Soups.
