## Synopsis

*It's lights, camera, action for Bailey as a Rocky Top Records film crew stops by the ranch… and encounters a less-than-cinematic day of disaster.*

## Plot

It’s a big day for Bailey, as she’s about to film part of her video for the contest. She’s excited and really wants to make a good impression. She also admits it’d be great if the kids could tell the producers how great she is.

Since it’s Bailey’s big day, the kids really want to be there for her. Unfortunately, Tuck is as sick as a dog, and Bailey tells him to go away because she needs to be healthy and has this big contest going on.

When the crew shows up, Bailey is ready to impress. Boone is late as he comes through the door and is carrying Krispy Kreme’s..

Due to the fact that the kids love her, when Boone shows up, Dylan has a lot to say. Bailey tells Dylan that they will be singing a song that Boone wrote. But that isn’t what Dylan and Bailey had agreed to. Boone keeps insisting that they are going to sing the song that he wrote.

Dylan can see that Boone is using Bailey and ends up getting so pissed that he quits. He doesn’t want to deal with the man that is going to hurt Bailey again.

Unbeknown to anyone, Dylan unknowingly left their horse, My Girl’s gate open.

Beau finds My Girl out of her stall and puts her back in. In the same moment, Summer calls to see Beau’s hand without the ring on it. He freaks, cause the ring is on his hand, he hasn’t told his kids about it, and so he drops the phone so he can quickly take it off.

Later, Boone and Bailey have to be interviewed and it’s all for the contest. Unfortunately, the kids end up screwing up the interview, even though it was not their intentions.

Tuck heads outside to meet the cute girl and breaks into song. Bailey is trying to get him back inside and the producers follow. They’ve turned off the camera and need to leave. There is a reception that night they need to film. Bailey wants to tell them so many stories, but they have turned off the cameras because well, this interview has gone bad.

Bailey knows that it is a trainwreck and she’s not afraid to admit it. The kids are also sorry because it was Bailey’s day and they somehow managed to make it about themselves. Boone says it wasn’t that bad. Bailey is mad and doesn’t believe that they would do this to her. It’s her last hope. Boone tries to tell her it's gonna be okay. He tells her that people love train wrecks.

When Boone and Bailey leave for the reception, Beau comes running in. He needs the kids’ help, because something is wrong with My Girl. She’s sick and the vet is on her way.

Boone is trying to hype Bailey up and tells her to smile. Eventually, Chloe calls and tells her that My Girl is sick and is in tears. Bailey has found someone to love more than herself, because she automatically thinks of the family. She has to go back for the family that took her in.

In the end, her dream is pushed to the side as she rushes home to be with the family. They need her and she needs to be there for them.

She then walks in on Beau telling the kids that he wouldn’t blame Bailey for quitting after the way that they acted today. Bailey knows that the kids are heartbroken and that Dylan needs to have My Girl come through because he feels bad for accidentally letting her out.

Cassidy wonders why Boone isn’t there. Bailey informs them that he stayed behind at the reception. Summer shows up again, and everyone ends up spending the night in the barn, because if My Girl doesn’t get up, there is a chance that she won’t be better. So as a family, they are all sticking together.

In the end, My Girl does get up and everyone cheers. Dylan and Cassidy talk now that it hit them that when Bailey wins, she will leave them behind and won’t be their nanny anymore.
