1 | 1 | "Rockers & Writers" | Shelley Jensen | Kevin Kopelow & Heath Seifert | December 2, 2011 | 5.7[4] | |
Ally works at Sonic Boom, a music store owned by her parents located at the Mall of Miami. Austin and Ally start off on the wrong foot when Austin ignores signs and does the opposite of what Ally says. He interrupts Ally while she's in her practice room, singing a rough cut of "Double Take". Unbeknownst to Ally, Austin and his best friend Dez "borrow" the song, create a video and post it on the internet, after which it and Austin become a local sensation. After performing the song on "The Helen Show", Helen suggests that Austin return the next day and perform another original song written by him. Austin isn't good at songwriting, and the only solution he can think of is to plead Ally to write another song for him. Ally initially denies, since Austin was the one who'd stolen her song, but later agrees to help him. It takes all night, but they finish writing the song ("Break Down The Walls"), and Austin asks Ally to be there when he performs it. However, when the pianist gets sick, Ally has to fill in. This was all part of Austin's plan to help Ally overcome her stage fright, but it only ends in disaster. By the end, Austin reforms Ally's practice room and the two become partners, along with Dez as director, and Ally's best friend Trish as Austin's manager. Guest stars: Andy Milder as Lester, Mim Drew as Helen |
