Synopsis[]

Gustavo wants the band to change their ways in order to become highly successful. He wants James to stop being too self-centered and to stop thinking only about himself Gustavo thinks that Carlos "lacks in direction" he feels that Logan "lacks swagger" and wants Kendall to stop talking back to him.

After Kendall tells him that he should take a "chill pill" Gustavo gets very angry which results in Gustavo chasing the boys into their apartment at the Palm Woods.

Gustavo is about to attack the boys with a knife until Buddha Bob comes out of the bathroom and the boys ask him for help. He does the Himalayan monkey pinch on Gustavo, which puts him in a calm state. Gustavo tells the boys that he has to write a song for the New Town High soundtrack and that he will call them when he needs the vocals.

Buddha Bob suggests that the boys should listen to their boss in order not to make him stressed. However things turn out differently for most of the guys than expected.

Carlos takes advice from a talking parrot which claims that he knows everything. Things go well Carlos has a date with a girl who is "way out of his league" for instance until the parrot tells him that he would only have 24 hours to live. Horrified about the news Carlos locks himself in the bathroom of the apartment.

It is later revealed that the parrot belongs to a fortune-teller and likes to watch hospital dramas. The parrot likes repeating things which he hears in the fortune-teller shop. Carlos is happy to hear this and leaves the bathroom.

Logan downloads a "swagger app" for his phone, which causes his swagger to increase and James' swagger to decrease. This results in James almost "dying" from "dangerously low swagger counts". Together with Camille James tries to make Logan delete it. (At first Camille didn't want to help but when she notices the crowd of girls following Logan, she immediately says "Okay we gotta destroy that app.")

Annoyed of the tight pants, all the dancing, and being followed by a crowd of people, Logan decides to delete his "swagger app" and things go back to normal.

Meanwhile, Gustavo turns into a "guru" and with the help of Buddha Bob he writes a song for the New Town High soundtrack. The song turns out to be very horrible and is a danger to the band. Kelly and Kendall try to get Gustavo back to normal. After several attempts which have failed they decide to hire actors who pretend to be the producers of New Town High. The fake producers insult and make fun of the song which makes Gustavo go back to his normal, angry self.

Gustavo writes a new song with which the producers are pleased with and he decides that the band should stay themselves, much to their relief. Logan also found out that a pair of sunglasses provide him with enough "swagger", and he puts the glasses on which causes James to faint.

Quotes[]
