Buster and Meena climbed on a roof while Buster carried a giant hose to get water from a giant tank.
"Mr. Moon, are you sure this is legal?", Meena asked.
"Uh, I don't know. But if you keep asking questions, we'll never get this done.", he put the hose on the other end and twisted it tight, "Now, hit it."
Meena turned the valve as the water flow down the hose fast, even some coming out splashing Meena.

Back in the theatre, Buster guided Meena to pull the rope so they could put up the lights which fell the other day.
"A little higher."
As they were at the right height, "There it is! Thank you!", with a welding torch, Buster brought them together.

After that, Meena pulled all the glasses from the window with her trunk. She pulled one behind Johnny and (Y/N) who were still practicing his song.

Then, Buster and Meena came in front of the restaurant with the fluorescent squids in their tanks and put on posters. From inside, the server saw them.
"Posters up! Now, run away!", Buster yelled and they ran as the server came out.
"Come back here, you vandals!", the server wanted to run away them.
In the tanks, the fluorescent squids looked at the poster saying "Squid Wanted".

Again back in the theatre, Buster and Meena put off the wood planks to replace them with the glass pieces. Once down, Meena turned the valve that made the water fill the tanks.

-----------------

The next morning, Rosita comes out of the house with a bright smile. Yesterday, while getting groceries, she danced to the music without thinking and even got praised by the security guard.

Norman came down the stairs.
"Rosita, have you seen my car ... Whoa!", he didn't finish because he stepped on a ball who rolled making fall.
The ball hit the construction. Because of that it threw milk and cereal on Norman's face blinding him.
"Rosita? What the ... What's going on? Rosita!"

He stumbled to the sink but the construction sprayed soap on his eyes and the brush scrubbed his eyes then his teeth. Then suction cup pushed his head in the water and pulled on the table.
"Kid, where's Mommy?", he asked his children who were laughing at what happened.
To the climax, the construction lifted the table sheet but time with Norman and the kids in it.

-----------------

Johnny was just finishing his song.
"Phew! How that's, (Y/N)?"
(Y/N) looked at him wide eyes and gaped mouth.
"What is that bad?"
"No, no, no, Johnny. It's just ... I don't have the words. It was so awesome.", (Y/N) pulled him to a hug.
"Well, I had the best teacher."
"Yeah, you had.", (Y/N) blushed at his words.
The two looked at each other with a blush on their cheeks.
"Hey!", they got interrupted by Meena and quickly separate, "Sorry! Mr. Moon would like everyone to meet backstage before she arrives."
"Alright, we'll be there, Meena!"
"Are you alright, Miss Moon? You look a bit red. Do you have a fever?
"No, no, I'm okay. It's just hot in the room."
"Okay.", Meena closed the door.
(Y/N) sighed in relief that Meena bought it. She turned to Johnny who had a smirk on his lips.
"What?"
"Great cover up."
"Shut up. Let's go down.", she laughed.

-----------------

Ash practiced her song she wrote yesterday.

When you set if all free
All free
All free
You set if all free

"Wow.", she looked up seeing Buster at the door, "You wrote that?"
"Uh, yeah. Do you like it?"
"Are you kidding? It's fantastic! You've got to sing that today!"
Ash smiled in success.

-----------------

Buster gave the order of appearance to the contestants.
"Mike, you're on first.", he gestured to Mike.
"Sure.", Mike's phone then rang, "Just a second here.", and picked up, "Honey, I'm busy. What? I can't here you.", he jumped off the stool to go outside.

"Rosita and Gunter, you're on after Mike."
Gunter wanted to tell Buster about Rosita but suddenly she comes in, "You got it, boss."
"Rosita!", Gunter gave her a high five, "Super cool! You've, like totally come back!"

"Okay, Johnny, you follow them."
Johnny was reading the newspaper with her father on the front page.
"What? Oh, yeah, I'm ready. Yeah, yeah."
"Johnny?"
He turned to (Y/N), "Give me that!", she gestured to the newspaper.
He handed it to her, "I want you to concentrate on the show right now, not on your dad, okay?
"Sorry, (Y/N)."

"Ash, you're ...", Buster said.
"After Johnny. I got it.", she finished the sentence.

"And Meena. Last chance, kid. You wanna join these guys out there today?"
"I would ... I just get so scared."
"Sure, you do. But you know how to get over that, right?"
"Uh, no."
"You just start singing! Do what you love, then you'll be great, 'cause you won't be afraid anymore, because you'll actually be doing it. Right?"
"Uh..."
"Look, do you love to sing? I mean, do you really love it?"
"Of course I do."
"Then you face this head on, Meena. Look, it's like my dad always said, "Don't let fear stop you from doing this thing you love.""
"Uh ... Okay, I'll do it."
"Great!"

"Mr, Moon! She's here!", Miss Crawly announced from upstairs.

-----------------

Outside the theatre, a limousine stopped in front of the theatre. James opened the door to let Nana as she looked in awe at the palace she once worked at.

"Nana!", Buster came out of the theatre and ran to hug her.
"Oh! Do not even think of embracing me.", Nana revolted.
"You got it. Eddie, please show your Nana to the royal box.", Eddie held out his arm to Nana
"Oh, for heaven sakes! I'm perfectly capable of walking.", she refused walking into the theatre.
"You nervous?", Eddie asked.
"Are you kidding?", Buster chuckled nervously, "I'm absolutely terrified.", he ran into the theatre, with Eddie following him.

James drove the limousine away as a yellow car drove past a red car that belonged to Mike. In that car were the three bears from the disco. The car came to a stop and drove backward next to Mike's.

"Boss, that's his car, isn't it? Right there!", one of the bears said,
The leader saw the scratches on the seat then looked up at the theatre, "Pull over."

-----------------

Nana and Eddie sat on the seats in the royal bow as (Y/N) came in with a cup of tea on a plate.
"Lapsang souchon, no sugar, courtesy of Mr. Moon and myself."
Nana took the cup, "Thank you, Miss Moon."
"You're welcome. Enjoy the show.", (Y/N) bowed then left.
The bell rang signalling the start of the show.

-----------------

Mike was still outside on the phone.
"Honey, the show is starting, all right? I can't talk now. I gotta go. Of course I love you. You think I'd buy you diamond earring if I didn't ...", suddenly he shrieked as the leader grabbed him by the collar.
"Where is my money?"
"Okay, okay, listen, listen. I just, maybe, kind of, spent it all. You know?"
To make him talk more, the leader guided him to his mouth.
"No, no, please, please, wait! I'll give you the money! I'll get you $100,000!", Mike quickly said.
The leader took him out and laughed, "Where are you going to get that kind of money?"
"The Moons! Okay? The Moons got my money."
"Who are those "Moons"?
