They have brought along a small robot called 51N3RG.Y (pronounced synergy) built by the Benton sisters' deceased father, Emmett. The girls settle down in LA and discuss their next move. Erica is polite and courteous with the four girls but shows particular interest in Jerrica, who she sees as a potential superstar. They meet music producer Erica Raymond and her son Rio. Jerrica is offered a record deal by Starlight Productions and travels to LA with her sisters. The video attracts millions of views in a single day. She is interrupted just before deleting the video, and an Internet-obsessed Kimber posts it onto YouTube. She disguises herself by calling herself Jem, her deceased father's nickname for her. She vents her emotions by recording a song with the video camera Kimber uses to post blogs. Jerrica learns one day that due to Aunt Bailey's financial problems, their house will be auctioned. The four girls frequently videotape themselves playing music and wearing colorful '80s outfits just for fun, but Jerrica is too shy to sing on camera. Jerrica Benton and her younger sister Kimber live with their Aunt Bailey and two foster sisters, Aja and Shana.
