"**Day After Day**" is the 7th episode in Season 1 of *Lost & Found Music Studios*and the 7th episode overall. It aired on February 12, 2016.

## Synopsis

"John experiences trouble at home and moves into the band's van; Clara gets stage fright when she tries to perform with other members; Luke and Leia try to get the van into date-worthy shape, which leads to confusion and heartbreak."

## Plot

John and Luke are performing (singing and playing the acoustic guitar) "Day After Day" in the Rose Room, and Luke says, in Talking Heads, that it is going very well. During the performance, John confesses that he and Luke have played music since they were young children and they had started a band at Lost & Found Music Studios. Luke explains that John has been having trouble with his father recently. John, himself, says that his home life is currently not very good, and he tries to get away from it by making music at the studio.

Luke is climbing down stairs of the outside of the Building to get to the Mutt-Cracker and he hears a noise coming from it. To defend himself, Luke takes the lid from a trash can and an empty cola bottle and slowly approaches the van and quickly swings the door open to reveal John, who has a stubble, working out. John doesn't notice Luke at first, but after Luke shouts his name (for the second time) and taps him, he screams and drops his dumbbells. After being asked by Luke, John reveals that he is working out. Luke asks John if he is sleeping in the van, and John says "Maybe". John says in Talking Heads that his dad thinks that he is at Luke's house, but he is instead living in the Mutt-Cracker. Luke knows the reason to him staying in the van (John and his dad are arguing about something small) and offers John to stay at his house. John denies the offer merely because Luke snores; Luke tells him that he *has* to find somewhere, other than the van, to live in. Regardless of what Luke said, John still sticks to staying in the van. Luke tells him that the van is a mess and has bananas everywhere. Still, John says it is "not that bad" and that he needs to be given a couple of days. Luke interrupts him, saying that he has two days, and then "it is done". As Luke is saying this, he walks away from John and the van.

Giselle and Clara are walking down Busker Alley. Giselle asks Clara how she is feeling, and Clara replies that she is nervous but excited. Giselle confirms with Clara that it will be O.K., despite her nervousness. Giselle reminds Clara not to freak out. She is says in Talking Heads that she thinks Clara is a talented musician and wants to see where she will go with her music. To calm her down, Giselle tells her to be calm and reassures her by saying that she has dance rehearsal at The Next Step (around the corner) and she will be there for Clara. They both say they love each other and hug. Clara says in Talking Heads that she is really nervous as well as really excited, wanting to make a good impression at the studio; Giselle leaves as Clara looks at the studio, ready to start.

In Java Junction, Luke collects his food and Michelle enters. They greet each other. Michelle notices that Luke is holding two (rather than one) breakfast burritos and says that Luke must be hungry. Luke explains that one of the burritos is for John. Michelle tells Luke that she thought that he and John usually go to Java Junction together. In Talking Heads, Michelle says that she is embarrassed, because she doesn't want Luke to know that she has a crush, that she can't help, on John. Luke tells Michelle that John is waiting in the van and says that he needs to go, so that he can give the burritos to him. As Luke walks away, he finds a way to get John out of the van. As part of the plan, Luke approaches Michelle and tells her that he has an errand to run. He asks her to give John's drink and burrito to him and Michelle agrees. Luke says in Talking Heads that if Michelle sees John living in the van, a mortified John would move out of the van and consequently Luke will get it back.

Around a table in the Bull Pen are Hannah, Clara, Isaac and Annabelle singing "Love". Hannah explains in Talking Heads that she gathered up some of the new musicians to have some fun and begin becoming comfortable with performing in front of other people. Clara does not sing (she seemingly attempts to) because she is too nervous to. This is noticed by Isaac (who says this in Talking Heads). After the chorus, Hannah sings and points to Clara, indicating that she should sing. Clara shakes her head and doesn't sing. In Talking Heads, Clara says that she doesn't know as to why she is so nervous, seeing as she has performed in front of people before.

Michelle approaches the van, confessing that she is looking forward to giving John the food and seeing him. Michelle knocks on the door of the van, causing John to abruptly drop his magazine and awkwardly greet her. Rather than opening the door completely, John sticks his head out and awkwardly speaks to her, saying that he thought that she was Luke. Michelle reveals that she was merely bringing him his breakfast. John tells Michelle to leave it on the bumper, but Michelle, suspicious, opens the other van door to see what was going on, infuriating John. Michelle immediately points out the large amount of bananas in the van. John says in Talking Heads that Michelle can *not* know that he is living in the filthy van, and he says that he feels like disappearing as she sees the inside of the van.

John, drinking his drink, and Michelle are sitting on the rear bumper of the van. In Talking Heads, John says that he is trying to make conversation between himself and Michelle. Finally, John speaks up and says that he saw had recently saw a cardinal (which Michelle says is awesome) and says in Talking Heads that he needs to find something else to talk about. Michelle apologizes to John for interrupting him and explains that she gave him his breakfast because Luke told her to. John asks Michelle for clarification (if Luke told her that he would be hungry) and Michelle tells John that Luke did say so. John describes Luke as a "great guy". Michelle asks John what he actually was doing in the van. Hesitantly, John says that it is not as if he was living in the van and immediately lies to Michelle, saying that he is working on a song about living on the road. Michelle becomes interested in what John said and tells him that she travels as much as possible so that she can learn more about dance. Michelle, in Talking Heads, says that she thinks that she and John are bonding and feels as if she is getting closer to him. Michelle asks John if they could talk more about the subject at the drive-in movies. John asks if this would be like a date and Michelle says that it is like a date. Again in Talking Heads, Michelle says that she noticed that John possibly wanted to ask her out on a date, but she, knowing that John is shy, grasped the oppurtunity and asked him out. John agrees to Michelle's offer and Michelle leaves saying that she will see him on their date. John is surprised, knowing that it would be unlikely for him to ever go on a date.

Clara is sitting with her phone in the Rose Room, calming down after embarassing herself whilst singing "Love". Hannah approaches her and reveals that she wanted to see if Clara was all right after "what happened". Clara, knowing what happened, asks what happened. Hannah tells Clara that the first time she performed in a song circle, she messed up and was so nervous; she also says that if you do it more, you get used to it. Clara lies, saying that she was not actually nervous but that she didn't know the song very well, allegedly being one of the people that like to know the song before performing it. In Talking Heads, Clara says that she cannot let Hannah know that she was, in actual fact, too nervous to join in. Hannah says that she hoped that Clara would say what she said and gets out a USB stick with a song that will be performed at the Bull Pen stage later in the day. Clara knows that she shouldn't waste her second chance to impress the others.

Luke is in Java Junction, and John approaches and slaps him at the back of his head and sits at the same table as him. Luke asks what is wrong with him and John says that there are many things. Firstly, John admits that Luke was right with him having to move out of the Mutt-Cracker. This makes Luke ask why he suddenly changed his mind; John reveals that he has a date with Michelle, surprising Luke (who asks for clarification). A surprised Luke reveals in Talking Heads that John's upcoming date is his first date. John tells Luke that he has no idea as to what to do. Luke tells him that, for a start, he should have a shower and must shave to stop looking like a hobo (or what John prefers to be called, a vagrant). Luke repeats what John must do and offers to clean the van. Luke orders John to leave Java Junction, and John says in Talking Heads that he has to go home and see his dad but is worth it because he has a date with Michelle.

As promised by Hannah, she, Isaac and Annabelle are performing the song (that Clara was given) on the stage of the Bull Pen. Clara enters the room and joins the others on the stage. She wants to overcome her stage-fright and impress the audience. For a while, Clara doesn't sing but merely dances along to the beat. Clara knows that she will be able to fight through her nervousness. Clara tells Hannah that she is the next to sing, but she doesn't sing. Despite Hannah's encouragement, Clara walks off-stage and out of the room. Just as she is leaving, Isaac finds his older brother, Tully, entering the room. This causes Isaac to quietly hide behind the stage. In Talking Heads, Leia, being a long-term member of Lost & Found Music Studios, says that she is protective of the place and if she sees somebody that she doesn't recognize, she always checks them out. Leia approaches Tully and asks if she can help him with anything. Tully says that he is looking for Isaac, faltering at the part when he almost says that Isaac is his brother. Leia points to where Isaac *was* but realizes that he is no longer there. Just as this happens, the song ends in the background. To this, Tully asks Leia to say to Isaac that Tully is looking for him. Leia agrees and walks away, leaving Tully to quickly look around again. Isaac remains in his hiding place.

Leia and Luke are approaching the van. Luke tells Leia that despite the fact the van *looks* clean, it actually isn't. Luke says in Talking Heads that he asked Leia to clean because she is a good friend. Leia disagrees saying that it is "nice". Luke, again in Talking Heads, says that he has no idea what he is doing. Luke tells Leia that the van needs to be "date-worthy". Leia asks for clarification and Luke confirms that said "date-worthy". Leia, in Talking Heads, excitedly says that she is officially date-worthy and thinks that she and Luke are dating at that moment. Leia begins cleaning and says in Talking Heads that if cleaning is what it takes to date Luke, she would love to do it. Luke asks Leia if she needs him to get anything and Leia asks for drinks for the two of them.

At John's house, Thomas is sitting in the living room when John walks in and greets him; Thomas greets him back and says that he thought that he was at Luke's house. John hesitantly says that he came back to take a shower, causing Thomas to ask why he can't take a shower at Luke's and John lies that there is something wrong with the water. John says in Talking Heads that he and his dad scarcely get along, and it is hard to talk to him; John feels as if, to stop the tense atmosphere, they need a break. Thomas in Talking Heads says that he doesn't know how to talk to John and says that sometimes he can hardly believe that John is his son seeing as they are very different. Thomas asks how much money John has; John says he has none. Despite John saying not to give him money, Thomas gets out some money and tells John to spend it on food. In Talking Heads, John reveals that, rather than spending the money on food, he will spend the money on his date with Michelle. John tells his father that if he gives him another $5, he will take out the trash on his way out. Thomas laughs and gives him the money and asks him that if this was what he wanted and John says that it is. The two reconcile. John knows that, when Thomas gave him the money, Thomas cares for him.

Back in the van, a hungry Leia finishes cleaning. Leia finds a banana and begins eating it. Michelle, expecting John is in the van, says in Talking Heads that she thought that, for the date, they would watch a romantic comedy (at the drive-in movies) and she was going to tell him that. Michelle opens the doors of the van to reveal Leia. Michelle asks Leia what she is doing in the van; Leia replies that she is cleaning. Michelle asks why she is doing this, as well as why she is eating John's bananas. Leia says that she is currently on a date and tells Michelle to go. This angers Michelle because she thought that *she* was having a date with John tonight in the van. This angers Leia (thinking that she was talking about Luke rather than John). Michelle is in disbelief that John is dating her and Leia. Leia is in disbelief that Luke is dating her and Michelle. The actual case is that John is actually dating Michelle, and Luke and Leia are not dating anyone. Michelle immediately slams the door of the van shut in anger. Leia shouts at Michelle, ordering her to come back instantly. Michelle does come back, only to slam the other door in Leia's face.

In Java Junction, Luke is conversing with Patricia about cooking as Leia enters angrily. Leia begins admonishing Luke, betrayed that he would do "this" to her. Leia says in Talking Heads that she is in disbelief that Luke made her clean the van so that he could go on a date with someone else (Michelle). Despite the fact that Leia tells him to act like he doesn't know what is going on, Luke still acts obliviously (he doesn't actually know what is going on). Leia recounts what she thinks is going on (that Luke is dating Michelle in the van and made Leia clean for a date that doesn't involve her). Luke says that he is not dating anyone; Leia pokes Luke whilst saying that Michelle is going on a date in his van. Luke, imitating how Leia spoke and poked him, reveals that *John* is going on a date with Michelle. Luke also says that all of his band owns the van, but he owns most of it. Leia slowly comprehends the true story and clarifies with Luke that he is not dating Michelle. Luke says that he is not dating anybody. Luke says that he only has one love. Leia becomes more happy, thinking that it is her. Luke, however, says that his only love is music. Luke leaves and thanks Leia for cleaning the van. In Talking Heads, Leia says that she is O.K. with Luke not dating anybody.

Clara is hiding in the Control Room, crying. Clara is still recovering from when she performed with the other members and choked, completely embarrassing herself. Clara knows that she really wants to be at Lost & Found Music Studios, but she can't perform in front of people and she doesn't know why.

John, in Java Junction, is excitedly waiting for his date with Michelle; he is excited that he even has a matching shirt and hat. John notices that Michelle is running late which worries him. Michelle finally enters and thought she wasn't going to come and tells him that she won't go on a date with him because she doesn't think who John was who she thought he was. To this, John is upset and confused because he thinks that it sounds like she is making up an excuse not to go out with him. Michelle asks John if he has anything to say; John doesn't say anything because he would have to explain why Leia was in the van, which links to him living in the van, which links to his home life (with his mother dying), so John doesn't want to talk about it. John lies and says that the date wasn't a good idea. Michelle agrees and leaves. John thinks that Michelle is right and that she wouldn't want to be with the real him.

In the van, Luke and John are watching a sci-fi film. Answering Luke's question, John reveals that he found the video on the internet. Luke knows that John is upset about what happened with he and Michelle. Luke asks John how he is feeling and John replies "A combination of terrible and a little bit of triumph." Luke tells John that Michelle is a great person and would be likely to give him a second chance. Luke tells John to, next time, not bring burgers and fries because it is not "date food" but is "bro food". John says in Talking Heads that Luke is the only person he feels comfortable around when talking about Michelle because they have been best friends for a long time.
