"Big Time Rocker" is the twenty-first episode of the second season of Big Time Rush. It first aired on Nickelodeon on September 24, 2011.
Plot[]
A new resident of the Palm Woods is Lucy Stone, an 18-year-old aspiring rock guitarist checks into the Palm Woods. Carlos and James set their eyes on her and forbid Kendall to do anything with her because of his break-up with Jo. Kendall admits that he is still not over Jo and that he didn't want to move on to Lucy. Carlos and James determine that Lucy will become their girlfriend however, Lucy having just gotten out of a bad relationship is not interested in either of them romantically. When Lucy recognizes that James and Carlos are from Big Time Rush she calls their music "cute." This incites anger and annoyance in Kendall who marches straight to Rocque Records to complain to Gustavo about how the music does Rock. Kelly, Gustavo, and Kendall team up to prove to Lucy that their music is more of a Rock-type. However, all of their attempts end in failure. Katie realizes that all of their interactions with Lucy cause the boys to freeze. Inspired, Kendall helps Gustavo change the theme of his old song. Meanwhile, Lucy watches TV in her apartment and sees the boys perform Paralyzed and in the end, she admits that they rock and become friends in the end.
Subplot[]
Meanwhile Logan becomes obsessed with Camille's new role in a film and follows her around helping her practice but only because she kisses him for certain parts (however every time she kisses him he is left frozen). But she takes things too far when her character steals money from Bitters' office. At first she and Logan try hiding from the police but they find a way to give all the money back without anyone knowing that she stole it. After, Logan becomes disappointed that Camille is no longer playing her character but is happy that she is back to normal.
In the end the song that was originally supposed to be called Pair Of Eyes was changed to Paralyzed (after Katie asked why they kept becoming "Paralyzed" hence the title).

Trivia[]
- Malese Jow makes her first appearance on the show as Lucy Stone.
- This episodes airs 1 year after the Season 2 premiere “Big Time Welcome back.”

- This episode reveals Kendall is a good guitar player.
- Camille and Lucy consecutively say or do something to paralyze the main characters and Katie appears and snaps them out of their paralysis. This running gag also foreshadows the featured song "Paralyzed."
- This is the second time Katie is able to figure out a song for Gustavo. The first time was in Big Time Single.
- In this episode Camille suggests she and Logan to move to Peru and raise alpacas in order to escape the police, which is very similar to his suggestion in Big Time Mansion of the four boys moving to Bolivia and raising alpacas as a means of escaping Gustavo's wrath after destroying his mansion.
- This may also be a reference to Erin Sanders' role of Quinn Pensky, who had a pet alpaca, on Zoey 101.
