* MeetTheCelebrityContest: Taylor waits in line for hours to meet Skyler, only for Skyler to leave when she's almost reached the front of the line. Taylor enters the Queen Firestone [=SupaFan=] contest, which consists of a cosplay contest followed by a trivia quiz, because if she wins she'll get to have dinner with Skyler, be her date to the [=SupaCon=] After-Party, and go to the premiere of the next Queen Firestone movie. [[spoiler:She almost wins the trivia contest, but chokes during the last question, and Brianna wins the contest instead. However, Brianna later introduces Taylor to Skyler to thank Taylor for helping her through a panic attack before the trivia contest.]]

Three teenagers travel from Australia to America to attend the major convention [=SupaCon=]. Charlie is a popular vlogger and up-and-coming actress who's there to promote the movie she starred in.

Things don't go as planned - Charlie's agent is unable to get VIP passes for Taylor and Jamie, meaning they must spend most of the con without Charlie. Meanwhile, Charlie's jerk costar and ex-boyfriend Reese will be at the con too, and she has to make nice with him for the sake of both their careers.
