There you go. Hey! Whoo!

Whoo!

Red-hot, feeling naughty

Get loose Go grab somebody

Whoa-oh-oh,

oh-whoa

If you got young

blood, this is our time

Hands up Touch the skyline

Tonight, yeah, I'ma get mine

Whoa-oh-oh,

oh-whoa

If you got young blood,

blood, blood, blood

Young blood, blood, blood

Young blood, blood, blood

Whoa-oh-oh,

oh-whoa

If you got young blood,

blood, blood, blood

Young blood, blood, blood

If you got young blood,

blood, blood, blood

Whoa-oh-oh,

oh-whoa

- Whoo!

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

Congratulations, ma'am.

I think you've done it again.

Thinking was never your strong suit.

Whoo.

Can we get your autograph?

- Can you sign my picture?

- That was incredible!

Dude, this is hands down

the best night of my life.

Guys, I think this is my dad's guitar.

Are you serious? How can you tell?

Look.

- Try turning it.

- Turning it?

Oh!

- Can this come off?

- Let's try it.

Yes!

- What is it?

- I don't know.

"Use your gifts."

Here we go.

All right, Dad, let's see

what you're trying to do.

- Wasn't that the last piece?

- I thought it was,

but it looks like there's

room for one more, maybe?

How are we supposed to

find it without a map?

I don't know. This doesn't make any sense.

Hi!

What are your names?

Thank you so much. I'm so

glad you liked the show.

Hey.

Sorry, Jerrica.

Thanks.

Music isn't something that

can be put into words.

Three notes can communicate what

a whole paragraph never could.

You know, we each have

a rhythm inside of us...

our heartbeat, and

it connects us all.

No translation required.

So when the path you're on allows

you to hear it for the first time,

it's like the whole world suddenly

falls into perfect harmony.

Even if it isn't.

Shutting down.

There was magic in

the air last night

as Starlight's Jem and her

band of sisters performed live,

revealing a whole new look from

the pink hair YouTube video

that went viral earlier this month.

We love you, Jem!

- I'm a huge Jem fan.

- I love Jem.

Her music is amazing.

It's, like, real music.

- And one other one.

- Which one?

- Jem.

- Whoa! That's what I'm talking about.

Right now, it's already

trending on Twitter right now.

- Hashtag Jem.

- Did you love it? Apparently he loves it.

I love it so much. And boy,

oh, boy, they hit a home run.

Lines are out the

door at salons today.

Everyone wants the Jem hair! Pink,

purple, red, blue. You name it.

Uh, in this video, I will show

you how to do the makeup for Jem.

I wanted to play you this

Jem-inspired song that I wrote.

To be able to sit down and

have a glass of wine with Jem,

and just hang and chill it

like... like we're girlfriends,

that would be everything.

Their song, "Youngblood,"

has leaked onto the Internet

and is clearly climbing the

streaming and download charts.

Oh, my God!

"Youngblood." I dig the track.

You gotta make a track

for me, by the way, next.

You can't call it "Youngblood."

Let's call it, like, "Badass Blood."

Actually, no. That sounds like

something you don't want. Never mind.

- Jem.

- But as the Jem phenomenon continues,

the biggest question

only grows... Who is Jem?

Jem and I dated for like six

weeks. It was pretty serious.

I don't think she's even a real

person. She's more of a product.

You know, maybe it

doesn't even matter,

because the only thing

people want is Jem.

My s-sister watched it, not me.

Let me shrink out.

Be there in a sec.

- Hey... Oh!

- Oh!

No. You're not wearing clothes.

Um, I'm gonna come back later.

I think I can fix that. Come on in.

- I'll be there in a sec.

- Okay.

Wow! I can't believe the mysterious

Jem has come to pay me a visit.

Nice room you got here.

Yeah, well, it's not the Rock Star Suite.

Uh, I just... I might be having

a secret identity crisis.

- I don't really have anyone else to talk to about that.

- Huh.

Well, it's a good thing you came over,

'cause I just so happen to know the

answers to all of life's problems.

What would that be?

Breakfast.

And it just seems like ever

since we got here that...

that I've been leading

this double life, you know?

'Cause Jem was supposed to be a disguise

and something that I could hide behind.

But now it just seems to

be this other version of me,

and I don't know, more

and more it seems to be

the only version that,

you know, people want.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Don't get me wrong.

- Jem's pretty incredible. I mean, she's talented,

- Oh!

amazing on stage.

She has outrageous fashion sense,

beautiful hair... just pink.

Did I ever tell you

pink's my favorite color?

You know, I wouldn't have guessed,

- but now I can kind of see it, knowing you.

- Oh.

- You know what I mean? Knowing you.

- Is that right?

I really can tell that pink is...

Now you're making me jealous

of my secret identity.

And that is something I

did not think was possible.

Well, you didn't let me finish.

I mean, yes,

Jem is glamour and

glitter, fashion and fame,

and I can't imagine

how tempting it might be

to lose yourself to something like that.

When I look at you, I don't see Jem.

In my eyes, you're the same incredible girl

that I sang with under the pier that night.

And you always will be.

Don't underestimate yourself.

You promise me that?

I promise.

- So, um...

- Oh, Erica. Hi.

Um, I'm gonna go, um, work on

the guitar for the next song.

This isn't what I had in mind when I said,

"Keep a close eye on the girls."

Listen, you've got it all wrong.

She's no longer Jerrica. Okay?

She's bigger than that.

She's our business.

And if you want a part in that business,

you need to be disciplined, you need

to be all business head all the time.

Honey, I want what's best for you.

- No, you don't.

- You know I do.

I want you to run this company one day.

That's exactly what your

father would have wanted.

But you don't know what you want.

Just because you and I don't

see eye-to-eye sometimes,

doesn't mean I don't know what I want.

I'm assigning you to a different artist.

This isn't working.

Stay away from her.

I know I'm not okay

Got just myself to blame

I never thought I could lose

Ah, ah

Blinded by the lights

They're messing with my mind

Don't wanna be a

movie star tonight

Striking every pose

Glitter isn't gold

Hey, don't worry about me.

Now, you girls just concentrate

on what you're doing there.

- Okay.

- And everything will be fine.

I will be here when you get back. Okay?

How are things at the store?

A little slow, but, uh,

I don't know, reminds me of

when I first started, you know?

Putting in the long hours, working solo.

Wait, did you let the rest of the staff go?

Aunt Bailey, you didn't

need to do that, okay?

I'm telling you, the money is

ours at the end of the month.

We have plenty of time. It's gonna be fine.

- And you have the hearing coming up, so...

- We don't.

Jerrica, I lost the appeal.

So, we just have till the end of this week.
