Plot

Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James are sitting and talking about Jo getting a role in a film. Someone then calls and tells Jo she has gotten the part but it is to be filmed for three years in New Zealand. Kendall then becomes upset and soon finds out by Jo in the lobby that she didn't actually get the part, and Kendall performs a "happy dance" until being informed by Katie that she had quit the role by choice. Kendall is then told by Katie that this is putting too much pressure on himself and that he needs to go on a date with Jo and be disgusting so they can break-up. On their date, Kendall does many gross things such as stabbing a guy with a fork by performing a "fork chop". Jo breaks up with him and walks away, leaving Kendall feeling upset. Katie insists on helping Kendall after he becomes heart-broken by making him nachos with extra cheese, buying many video games and movies, inviting over a clown who makes balloon animals, and by putting on television. Kendall, however, becomes even more upset when the television show Jo is on appears on the screen. Soon, Jo stops by and tells Kendall she knows that he just acted disgusting at the date so she can go do her movie, and she tells him she still decided to stay. Kendall disagrees and calls her managers to say that Jo will do the movie. Outside at Jo's limo, she and Kendall hug and Kendall gives her an inflated dog balloon. She then leaves in the limo. Meanwhile, Logan and Kelly try to steal Carlos's helmet after he wears it during several photoshoots. Carlos eventually tells them that he will take his helmet off during photoshoots and dinner. James also meets a latin pop singer Selana and, as she is only in town for three days, has a complete relationship in those three days.Back at the apartment, the guys come to cheer up Kendall and Carlos points out that Kendall will never forget the goodbye kiss Jo and Kendall shared. Kendall then remembers that he and Jo just had a goodbye hug and not kiss, so he and the guys run down to the airport as fast as they can. Soon enough, Kendall and Jo share their goodbye kiss and Jo walks away to get on the plane, all while Big Time Rush perform their new song, "Worldwide". Kendall then looks at Jo's plane fly away and the boys all pat his back as they walk away.

Big Time Single

Kendall is depressed that Jo left him to go to New Zealand, James, Carlos and Logan try to cheer Kendall up by doing the things when he was single and they also have to get Kendall ready for Big Time Rush's new summer single. Kendall comes out of his heartbreak long enough to inform them( by shouting)that until they all have girlfriends and lose them in an instant, he won't open up to them since they don't yet know what he's going through. Thus, Logan goes to Camille for help, who asks him on a date before dumping him. Carlos meets a girl in the Palmwoods Park, who he simply refers to as the "Red-shirted girl", and goes out with her for twelve minutes. James asks Jennifer 2 (Blond Jennifer) out, and at the end of their "relationship", instead of he dumping her , she dumps him. Because James has never been dumped before and thus is heartbroken that she ruined his 'perfect record'. Meanwhile, Gustavo has writer's block while writing the band's summer single, and Katie, who helped cure his previous writer's block in Big Time Love Song, comes in to help him by suggesting various tactics to help him channel summer. Later, Kendall, who remembered what his friends had told him earlier and snapped out of his heartbreak, and Logan try to get James and Carlos back on their feet, but fail. Gustavo comes up with a breakup song and has the boys sing it in front of Griffin, but since James and Carlos are still heartbroken it sounds horrible. Griffin then warns them that if they don't give him a summer single that 'rules the world' and has the word 'beach' in it, he will divert their funds to another company division. Logan then tries to help Carlos find the Red-shirted girl so he can see her one last time, and, remembering she smelled like chili-cheese fries, they decide to check all the apartments that got them delivered. However, they still do not find her. Meanwhile, Kendall helps James try and get Jennifer back so he can dump her this time. Jennifer agrees if she gets katie's leather jacket, which Kelly forces Katie to give to her. James then dumps Jennifer and is cured, and Katie finally tells Gustavo to just call the song 'Rule the World' and not have anything about girls or heartbreak in it.

James, Kendall, and Gustavo return to the apartment to find Carlos still sobbing. However, Logan ordered him chili-cheese fries, and when they arrive, it is revealed that the deliveryman is actually the 'red-shirted girl'. Once Carlos sees her, he is cured of heartbreak. The boys then sing the song 'If I Ruled the World', which Griffin likes. In the end, only Katie is left with heartbreak, since she lost her leather jacket.
