Synopsis: “Upset with the way their bands treat them and over Jerrica’s objections, Kimber and Stormer form a friendship and subsequently decide to form a duo and begin performing together.”

Summary: Episode 31 (S2E5) is written by Marv Wolfman, and Cherie Wilkerson.

We open with Jem and the Holograms debating if the song on the flip side of their next single should be up tempo or not. Kimber insists on doing a slow ballad, but she’s out voted by the rest of her bandmates. When Kimber asks Jerrica why she won’t listen to the lyrics she wrote, Jerrica tells her there’s no time since their single is already late and they must get on with the rehearsal.

Jem, Aja, Shana, and Raya want a love song, but Kimber still thinks a ballad is the way to go. The rest of Kimber’s bandmates begin practicing and ignore her request. Jem says the rest of the band knows what their doing, and Aja says that Kimber has to do what she’s told, because everyone is older than her (how patronizing!). Kimber is furious and kicks over her keyboard. On the way out, she tells the rest of the Holograms that they clearly don’t care much about their opinion. Jem, Aja, Shana, and Raya try to console her and tell her that they do, but it’s too late and Kimber leaves (they have a funny way of showing that her opinions matter).

At Misfits Music, a similar argument breaks out between Stormer and the rest of the band. Whilst under the gun to finish their latest album, Stormer’s ideas and pitches are vastly ignored and belittled by Pizzazz, Roxy, and Jetta. Stormer tells her bandmates she hates them all and storms off (pun not intended).

Elsewhere, Kimber heads to a local music venue called “The Scene” (The Limp Lizards can be heard playing in the background). At the bar, Kimber orders a peach shake (extra thick). Stormer shows up and ends up sitting right next to Kimber and orders a vanilla cola (a double) and a hot fudge sundae (three scoops with a banana). The Limp Lizards finish their set, but Stormer gets upset as she came to The Scene to hear music. Stormer and Kimber notice each other. Stormer makes a snarky remark about how she’s surprised that her sister lets her out after 4:30. As the two exchange insults, the spotlight is thrust upon them as they’re recognized as celebrities. The venue manager tries to convince Kimber and Stormer to come up to the stage and play, but the two are hesitant. They give in after the crowd cheers them on.

Stormer: I rather swallow tar than sing with you.

Kimber: I’d choke first!

Cut to music video by Kimber and Stormer: “I’m Okay”.

The Scene’s owner encourages Kimber and Stormer to come back and play together as an ensemble. They both mutually agree to start working together and come back the following night.

The following day, at Starlight House, Kimber is in her room getting ready to go out for the evening. Jerrica stops by and asks why her sister won’t talk to her. Kimber says she has nothing to say. Jerrica notices her sister is getting ready and asks her if she’s going out. Kimber responds with attitude and says “any problem with that?” Kimber tells Jerrica she doesn’t really care what she does or think, so it’s pointless in asking her invasive questions. Kimber leaves and is picked up by her new friend, Stormer. Jerrica doesn’t seem to recognize who’s in the car and Kimber gets in, saying “I finally found out who my real friends are. Don’t wait up for me.”

We cut to a quick scene showing Kimber and Stormer playing their hit song “I’m Okay” to a busy club. Meanwhile, at Misfits Music, Pizzazz, Roxy, and Jetta are struggling to put a single song together. Pizzazz claims she hates Stormer. If it wasn’t abundantly clear to you before, it should be now, that both Kimber and Stormer are the glue that hold each other’s bands…
