### Showdown at the Round Up

Gem heard the house band of the local teen hangout, the Round Up Can Teen a, was holding open auditions for a new lead singer, and was determined to win the spot.

### We Don't Care

Gem competed in the battle of the bands against Amy and Hartley. She stole and performed their song, after which Amy and Hartley wrote another song to beat her.

### The Scare

Gem publicly announced that Amy and Hartley had "a secret" that she was going to release to the public. Amy and Hartley thought Gem knew that Amy is Havoc, so she went to drastic lengths to stop her. She picks up a nicer attitude after Amy saves her from a falling chandelier.
