The episode starts with Kimber feeling unappreciated in her band after the others don't take her seriously. On the same day, Stormer tries to present a ballad to Pizzazz but gets cruelly rejected because the song isn't hard enough. In the evening, both women end up brooding at the same club. When the owner of the club spots the two, she shines a light on them and asks the two famous musicians to sing for the audience.

As it turns out, Kimber and Stormer end up bonding during the musical number. The once-enemies quickly become best friends. The two soon become playing together every night. Stormer and Kimber end up getting talked to by a sneaky-seeming music promoter named Dave Daniels. The two sign a contract, but it turns out that Raymond is behind it. Kimber has signed away Starlight Studios if she doesn't produce the album.

Stormer and Kimber end up getting talked to by a sneaky-seeming music promoter named Dave Daniels. The two sign a contract, but it turns out that Raymond is behind it. Kimber has signed away Starlight Studios if she doesn't produce the album.

Stormer hasn't been practicing music with her band since Pizzazz rejected her song. The Misfits don't sound right without her so this upsets them all. Likewise, Kimber hasn't been hanging around her band, on the job or otherwise. Neither group like how the other woman is influencing their friend. The two bands try to intervene but Stormer and Kimber refuse to be separated.

When it comes to making their new album, neither Stormer or Kimber are having much success. They keep running into problems in production. The Misfits and the Holograms aren't doing much better with their missing members. The Misfits try to bribe Stormer into coming back but she still ends up running back to Kimber.

Kimber and Stormer finish their record just in time to stop Raymond from taking over Starlight Studios. When Raymond tells them the album won't sell without promotion, Kimber turns to her older sister for help.
