Linc offers to let his band perform tonight at the club when two other bands suddenly cancel. Outside Linc is shown to be working with "Marshall" who is behind the other bands canceling. Later that night, Brook Lynn sees Linc at the club and Chase tells Linc to stay away from her. Curtis sees this and after the concert, he questions Linc and shows him the sketch Liz drew of "Marshall".

He claims that the song Chase just sang was one of Brook Lynn's old songs and he owns it. He says Brook Lynn should have read the fine print on the contract she signed to get rid of him.
