## Appearances

### Season Two

#### "Gone West"

Robby is sitting at his surfboard at the beach when Rhyme and Harmony, whom he has never met before, come walking in his direction. He overhears Rhyme mentioning The Chicken Girls, and asks her what a Chicken Girl is. Rhyme answers "Excuse me?" and he apologizes for eavesdropping, adding that the girls are just blocking his view of the sunset. Rhyme apologizes for that, adding that she and Harmony are leaving. Robby asks them to stay, but Rhyme politely declines. Robby introduces himself, and Harmony tries to introduce herself in return, but Rhyme tells her not to talk to strangers. The two then walk away from him.

#### "Surfs Up"

Robby is standing at the beach right outside his house when Rhyme walks out of the house and towards him. She asks him if his mom is Robin Robbins, and he asks if she can't see the resemblance. He then asks her if she surfs, and she says no, to which he responds: "No? Or not yet?" She smiles, but doesn't say anything.

Later, Robby is teaching Rhyme how to surf at the beach. He tells her she's almost ready to get in the water, and the two of them sit down on their surfboards.

Even later, Robby and Rhyme are still hanging out at the beach. Rhyme tells him she never thought she could be a surfer, and that dancing is hard enough. Robby shoots in that both are about hand-eye coordination. He then tries grabbing her hand, but she moves it away. She tells him she has a boyfriend back home, but adds that she has realized that she wants to break up with him. Robby then puts his hand on hers, and she moves it away again, apologizing and saying that it's complicated. She gets up, saying that the day has been amazing, and walks away. Robby lowers his head, seemingly disappointed.

That evening, Robby can be seen standing in his kitchen with his mom, Rhyme, Harmony and Ellie, as his mom is preparing dinner. Rhyme looks over at him, and he sends her a small smile. She sighs and looks away.

#### "Always a Catch"

Robby is working on maintenance on his surfboard when Rhyme walks over. She tells him they're leaving the next day, which he already knows. He asks if she's sure she can't stay. She says that being in Malibu has been like living a completely different life, and that it has been amazing, but that she has things to figure out back home. She says that she wants to figure out her own path and where she fits in. She tells him how earlier in the year, her biggest drama was not making the dance team, but he probably thinks that is stupid. He asks if she wanted to be on the team, and when she says she did, he says: "So, it's not stupid." He says that not getting what you want can be frustrating, and Rhyme says that it sometimes seems like what comes easy to everyone else is difficult for her, and that she has to try much harder. Robby assures her that hard work makes it worth it in the end, and that if something seems easy, there's always a catch. He adds that he thought he had found "this cute, cool girl who [he] could finally hang out with," but that just as they were getting acquainted, she leaves. Rhyme says she doesn't know what to say to that, and Robby responds: "See? There's always a catch."

#### "Save the Arcade"

Rooney is taking pictures somewhere in Attaway, when Robby walks over to her. She asks if he's lost, and he says "You could say that," and adds that he's going to be in town for the next few days.

He tells her she looks like a celebrity, and then asks her to take a photo of him. She asks him to strike a pose, and he does and grins at her. She smiles back at him.

#### "Ace's Party"

Robby is sitting in his backyard texting, while his mom is talking to someone about the constructions in Attaway. After she hangs up, she tells him that their pilot is waiting, so they have to go.

#### "More the Merrier"

Robby and his mom is walking through the part of Allen's arcade that is under construction, and Robin tells Robby that they will soon be back in business, and that there is a lot of raw talent in Attaway. Robby asks her if she's sure she can pull it off, and she tells him that no one is smart enough to stop them. They don't realize that Tim is spying on them.

A while later, Robby and his mom walks out of the construction zone and into the actual arcade. Rooney spots him, and grins. Rhyme also spots him, and he smiles at her. She walks over to him and asks him why he's there. He says that he and his mom has just checked into the Hotel DuPont. Robin walks over to them, and gives Ellie a hard time for not wanting to stay in Malibu with Robin as her manager. This makes Ellie walk away, after which Robin tells her son she will see him in the car. She then leaves as well. Robby then tells Rhyme that they'll be i town for the next few weeks, and asks if she's cool with it. She asks him why it wouldn't be cool with her, and he mentions her boyfriend. Rhyme tells her they broke up. He says "good to know", grins and walks back into the construction zone.

#### "Girl Time"

Robby is sitting in his mom's office. She is holding the newest edition of The Attaway Appeal, seemingly reading it. She then puts it down at the desk and asks Robby what he knows about Tim Sharp. He says he doesn't know much, but that he is going to figure it out. She asks him how he plans to do that, and he says he has someone on the inside, and starts texting on his phone. It then cuts to him and Rooney sitting at the diner, while he is both texting and talking to her at the same time, and she is smiling at him.

#### "Diner Dates"

Harmony has invited several guys to go on dates with Rhyme at the diner, including Robby, He shows up at the diner while Rhyme is still on her date with Paul. After Paul leaves, Rhyme tells Robby that it has been a weird day. Robby answers: "So, let's turn it around." During the date, Robby keeps getting distracted by someone who keeps texting him. Rhyme eventually asks him if he's also dating someone else, to which Robby points out that she was just in a date with Paul. Rhyme says that she always ends up in those kinds of situations, but that she just wants a guy who's certain about her. Robby tells her that he thinks they are looking for different things, and adds that he's going to be leaving in the next few days. Rhyme says she maybe shouldn't focus on boy drama, but instead focus on the upcoming state competition, but Robby then suggests they spend the next few days hanging out instead, without thinking about the future. Rhyme asks him if he really think that is possible, and he says: "There is only one way to find out," and takes her hand. She looks conflicted, but doesn't pull away.

#### "State"

Robby is walking through the hallways of the DuPont during the state dance competition, when he meets Rooney. He tells her she is just the girl he was looking for, and that he is there to say goodbye. He says he is going to be gone at least until the studio is done, and asks Rooney if he should text her when they land. She tells him she's back with Hamilton. Robby says: "Let's just see where that is once I'm back." He then tries to kiss her, but she pulls away, excuses herself, and backs away.

Later, Robby gets into his mother's car just as Tim walks away from the car, after having shown a new edition of the Attaway appeal through the window. Robby wants them to leave as soon as possible, but his mother tells him that something just came up.
