Plot

The guys are tired of having cameo appearances in different shows and commercials but when Carlos heard that they may have an appearance on his favorite kid show he convinced Logan and James to do it and with "puppy eyes" he was able to convince Kendall too.

The band makes a cameo appearance on a children's show called Coco.0 in which Carlos likes the show's teen star but her evil stepmother does not want them to fall in love so Kendall helps Carlos be safe from the evil stepmother while he tries to bring Carlos and the teen star together while also keeping the band's name safe from bad publicity.

When BTR makes their cameo, Carlos kisses Dara much to her stepmother's chagrin. However, Katie records her stepmother's plot to end Big Time Rush and the boys are able to put her in place about how Dara has been treated like a prisoner. Thanks to Carlos's kiss, Dara is free from her stepmother's torture and having had a change of heart, she lets BTR film their performance.

Subplot
