Oh no.

Dad, no!

Dad, it's not what you think.

They're friends, see?

-Guess who?
-Um, Larry?

Hey!

-Hey, buddy. Where you been?
-Orthodontist.

I got the braces
off my fangs today.

What do you think?

Oh, they look fantastic!

I know, right?

It's like I'm a whole new me.

Dad, wolves don't
attack sheep anymore.

Those were the old days.



It's a new era.

You're the best, Larry.

It's all coming together.
Best friends forever!

Hey, good to see you again.

You're gonna
teach Tai Chi, huh?

It has many
health benefits.

So, Bodi, how long
you back in town?

A little while.

That last tour was exhausting.

We're taking a break.

If you're lookin' to make
a little extra money,

I could use someone to
sweep up the clippings.

Nah, huh?

Look, it's Angus Scattergood.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please join me

and my new best friend who
I've never met before, Neon...

-Lyte.
-Is that your real name?

Oh, I like that.
It says Neon Lyte.

So it's quite clever, see.

Hey Angus,
why don't you tell the peeps

what our new show,
"Battle the Beat", is all about.

Well, "Battle the Beat"

is a musical talent
discovery show.

Now you might say,
"I've heard of that before"

but not like this because
this time each week

we coach a musical act.

Now you might say you
heard that before,

but not like this because
they will battle each week

for biscuits or points
or soot or asparagus,

whichever they choose

and it culminates with a
very ostentatious finale,

which means final in French,

in which a winner will get a
mega deal recording contract!

-Whoa!
-Really?

-Shh!
-So get on it, Jack,

download the app,
watch on your device,

and it'll be cooler than ice.

Yeah, just what he said, Jack.

Uh, who's Jack?

-What's the Wi-Fi password?
-I don't have the password.

I can't believe Angus
is doing this show.

Why? It looks like fun.

It's a shortcut.

The contestants aren't
willing to pay their dues.

They just want
overnight success.

I don't even know if they
care about the music.

But it has celebrity coaches
and lots of sparkly stuff.

I'm downloading the app.

It wants access to my
location and contacts.

That's okay, right?

- Pardon me!
- Hey!

Coming through.

Excuse me!

Coming through!

Move aside, would ya?

Is it true? Is it true?

The moment I heard about it,
I came running.

Whoa, Hazel, calm down.
What's going on?

I just heard an
unsubstantiated rumor

from a totally
unreliable source,

but there was a near
wolf attack this morning.

No, it was nothing.

I misread the situation.

Oh.

You look disappointed.

You realize this
isn't natural, right?

Sheep and wolf
fraternizing together.

It's not the way
it's supposed to be.

And Khampa, look at yourself.

You're a mastiff.

You're supposed to be
all eyes on the target,

ready to protect and
defend at any moment

and you're not!

Oh, you've gone soft
and not comfy pillow soft.

You're like mushy
bruised banana soft.

Hazel, things are different.

-Times have changed.
-Different?

How about boring?

How about we're living
in peace and harmony?

Peace and harmony?

Oh!

Peace is totally overrated.

And harmony is
a major buzz kill.

There's no action.

Oh, look around.

There is nothing to do.

You can enroll in
Khampa's Tai Chi class.

Eh, I prefer CrossFit.

What can I say, Hazel?
Everyone's getting along.

Hi-yah!

Huh?

Ooh.

I, um...
I like, uh...

You like what?

Spit it out.

I like what you were saying.

It's boring around here.

Right? Right?

I liked the way it used to be.

There was tension
and excitement!

Yeah.

Now look at everyone.

Eyes glued to their screens,

watching all the
feel good shows.

It makes me sick.

There needs to be a show
where the characters

are mean and nasty.

Hmm.

Yes!

A show that could get everyone
excited about conflict again!

And once they see what
they've been missing--

Wolves and sheep will
be enemies once again.

Hey, you're pretty smart...

for a wolf.

Single whip.

Cloud hands.

I love cloud hands.

It's like jazz hands
only with clouds.

Now right heel kick

and carry the tiger
over the mountain.

Uh, Khampa, Fleetwood
fell on Karl again.

Um, Khampa? It's time.

Time? Time for what?

"Battle the Beat."
There's only two shows left

and the contestants
are neck and neck.

Really? You guys would
rather watch some...

Huh?

-Dumb TV show.
-All right!

What?

I really like the
new host of the show.

I particularly enjoy
the witty repertoire

between the musical coaches.

That Lezah's a
real game changer.

Let's give it up for Tara!

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

We have heard both
contestants sing.

Now let's hear what the
coaches have to say.

Neon.

Tara girl, let me tell you,
it's a pleasure coaching you.

You took that song
to another level.

I mean, bang, pop,
this week you are on top

because what we heard
from the Angus side,

I mean, I know all those
years in rock and roll

affected your hearing, Angus,

but uh, I didn't know
you were tone deaf.

Zing!

That's why they call
me the king of zing.

Am I right? Am I right, people?

Come on, let me hear it.

Come on, give it
to me now.

Angus, are you gonna take that?

For someone whose
name is Neon Lyte,

you're quite a dim bulb,
you know.

The fact is, you
are jealous of me.

In fact, you're so
green with envy,

you should change your name
from Neon Lyte to Limelight.

Or Big Green Apple Light

That Doesn't Really
Work and is Envious.

Huh?
Dad, what are you doing?

Bodi, you missed it.

Angus just said
the funniest thing.

I can't believe you
stopped class for this.

This show is a waste of time.

Jealous much?

Actually, I was asked
to be on the show.

Really? Hey, everyone, Bodi's
gonna be on "Battle the Beat!"

But I turned them down.

-What?
-Are you crazy?

It's a show about music.

No, this show isn't
about singing.

-It's about--
-Zing!

Don't forget to join us next
time for the grand finale

where our two contestants
will battle it out

and you, the fans,
will choose our winner.

It will be a night full
of excitement, music,

and lots of zing!

I'm Lezah Lynn.

Until next time,

you stay in tune.

Great show. See you tomorrow and
keep those zings coming.

♪ La la la la la la ♪

Hmm.

♪ La la la la la la ♪

♪ La la la la la la ♪

Uh, 25 degrees centigrade.

I clearly said,
26 degrees centigrade.

It's freezing in here.
It's freezing!

Carbonated?
I don't want carbonated.

I specifically requested
cucumber infused spring water.

No carbon.

Just the non,

just the floaty stuff
with cucumbers in there.

This is a disaster!

Huh?

Angus?

Who put the avocado
on a fruit platter?

-Huh?
-A twit must have done that.

Yeah, they should
go to Twit School.

Hello? Angus?

-You there? Can you hear me?
-Bodi?

Bodi, on the phone!

Bodi, Bodi!

Ah.

Did you call to congratulate
me on tonight's show?

Well, um--

Angus, the instant
ratings are in.

Best numbers ever.

You are killing it.
Keep doing what you do.

I don't know what I'm doing,
but that's music to my ears.

Yeah, I guess.

Ooh, don't like that tone.

That's a bit judgey.

-Can I be honest?
-Yes!

Yes, be honest unless
it's gonna upset me.

And then lies will do fine.

Angus, I'll
be straight with you.

I'm not a fan of the show.

Well, I think I prefer the lies.

It's a music show that's
not really about the music.

It's about zingers and insults.

Yeah, well I'm with you mate.

But the audience, you know,

the public out there,
they want the zingers.

That's all they seem
to be interested in.

Not in chords and stuff.

Your music is about
making listeners happy,

making them feel good.

This show doesn't do that.

You once told me there is
no music without harmony.

So, hang on.

So instead of fighting
against each other,

you're a twit, I'm a twit,

we should be working
together in harmony?

Yes, because
you see that way--

Yeah, well, hang on, hang
on, stop talking here.

I'm thinking I'm having
a moment of creative,

what do they call it?
Genius stuff.

It's one of my moments.
I'm having an epiphany moment.

Yeah, I've got it right.

Okay, with my purple pen here,

I'll write a song that's
celebrating harmony,

not on a wishy washy way,
but in a washy wishy way,

which is the
opposite wishy washy.

And then Neon and I

shall perform a song together

with young musicians in the
grand finale, which is French.

And we should call the song...

-Harmony?
-No!

Uh, wait. Yes. I was gonna
call it "Blither-Blather."

but harmony makes
more sense, I suppose.

Yeah, what a nice
idea I've just had.

Bodi, it's great that
you're just listening in

while I've had a great idea.
Tune in for the finale, French.

I will be spectacular

and the other guys
I suppose, maybe.

Sounds great, Angus.

That'll be...

I'm in the zone.

Harmony!

Now to share my brilliance
with Neon, Mr. Lightbulb.

The two of us singing together?

Yeah, along with the
protégés as well.

I mean, maybe.

Kind of changes the
vibe of the show.

Yeah, well caring, sharing vibe.

All about the oneness.

Harmony.

Ugh. Harmony is overrated.

TV is about viewers.

And right now the ratings
are going through the roof.

Not because of the music,

but because they love it
when you zing each other.

That's what makes the show fun.

Hmm.

I think it will turn
off the audience.

You will lose fans.

Nope. Pass. Hard pass.

Really hard pass.

We're just going to keep the
show the way it is, Angus.

So that's your decision, is it?

Well, perhaps I'll
just float the idea

by the network executives

and see what they gotta say.

Some of those executives
know a thing or two about stuff.

-Hmm.
-Mm-mm.

I knew you would
change your mind.

Oh, what you got there?

No, hang on.
What are you doing?

-Hey, come on, hurry up.
-Okay!

Bodi, I'm surprised
to see you here.

I thought you didn't
like the show.

I didn't, but Angus
has something special

planned for tonight
and I don't wanna miss it.

Angus? Uh...

True to his
unpredictable nature,

Angus has left the show.

-What?
-Yep.

He went totally rock
and roll and quit.

Ooh, this leaves his
performer without a coach,

which means they
forfeit the finale.

Neon, your team wins.

Yeah!

Neon, what do you have to say
about your fellow musical coach

and his decision
to leave the show?

I mean the only thing
worse than being a loser

is being a quitter.

Zing!

Well, that's gonna
do it for this season

of "Battle the Beat."

But don't you worry.

We have a fantastic brand new
season right around the corner.

It's gonna be bigger
and better.

Epic battles,

more zings!

Battling it out for an
exclusive record contract

will be guitar shredding
impresario Axe Arrow.

Competing against Axe

will be the hottest
girl band around, K-9.

-Hey!
-Hi, there!

We're on TV.
Hi Mom!

Welcome.

Of course, Neon will
be one of the coaches,

but we don't know who
the other one will be yet.

I'm kind of bummed.
I was really looking forward

to meeting Angus Scattergood.

Yes, he is a legend.
Right, girls?

Like, literally,
we've never heard of him.

What? You don't know who
Angus Scattergood is?

He's a genius.

A rock legend.

He's the reason I first
picked up a guitar.

You know they can't
hear you, right?

This is crazy.

They're contestants
on a music show

and they've never
heard of Angus?

Or his music.

I have to do
something about this.

What can you do?

I'm gonna take them
up on their offer.

I'll teach these kids
who Angus Scattergood is

and restore his
legacy as a Rock God.

I'm gonna be the next
coach on "Battle the Beat."

Where am I?

Who am I?

Hang on.

That's a pleasant sound.

I like that sound.

Do you know who I am?

I lost my memory.

Hello?

Mesdames and messieurs, hello.

Uh, pardon me, are you sheep,

'cause you seem
to have no leader

and are traversing
this mountainous region

with no guidance?

Yeah, we ain't formally
organized or nothing.

Ah!

That's what I do!

That's what I do.
I'm a sheep leader.

A sheep herder.

A shepherd.

I'm your leader.

I will tend to your herd.

Uh, yeah. I mean technically
we're a flock.

One man's flock is
another man's herd.

We're good with that.

Right!
Let's soldier on.

And we'll move forwards.

Okay, V formation.

This sheep here, you take point.

Just everyone move to the left.

Oh, and move to the right.

Right.

Skip to the left

and skip to the right

and jump to the left

and jump to the right

and spin, spin, spin, and down.

Move to the left

and then move to the right

and skip to the left
and skip to the right.

Now jump to the left
and jump to the right

and you spin all
around and you--

Whoa!

-Hmm?
-Hmm.

Welcome to the new season
of "Battle the Beat".

Back with us again as our
resident musical coach

and reigning champion,

Neon Lyte!

Thank you, thank you.

Please, sit down, sit down.

The King of Zing
is in the house!

Sit down, sit down.

And replacing Angus Scattergood

from the band True Blue,

is a multi-platinum
recording artist

that sold out arenas worldwide.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Rock Sensation Bodi!

Bodi, are you ready to
mix it up with Neon?

I'm more excited about
getting together with Axe

and sharing with him what
I know about rock and roll.

That sounds wonderful
except for one small detail.

What's that?

You're not going
to be coaching Axe.

-Huh?
-That's right.

Neon will be coaching Axe

and you will be coaching
the all girl group, K-9!

What?

I can't coach those girls.

Sure you can.

They're little
pop star wannabes.

They don't know anything
about rock and roll.

So teach them.

That's what being a coach
is all about, right?

I guess so.

Hey, I know.

The show still has access
to Angus's mansion.

Why don't you set up shop there?

What better
way to introduce 'em

to the world of rock and roll
than in the legends lair?

-That's a good idea.
-It's settled.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I gotta take my head off.

Huh?

Oh, that's a show
biz expression.

I guess I've got a lot
to learn about all this.

You'll catch on.

Unbelievable.

A half hour late for
their first rehearsal.

Finally.

Whoa, this crib is lit!

Okay, girls, let's get...

I am so crushing on
this closet space.

These digs are
straight up amazing.

Look at this studio.

Me and my squad are gonna
lay down some sic tracks.

Hashtag killing it!

Look at that screen!

It's epic.

I have to play my
game like right now!

Does anyone know
the Wi-Fi password?

This is unbelievable!

Um, hello?

Girls?

Can you stop running
and shouting?

Oh my gosh!

Huh?

Whoa, dude.

Why so salty?

I was trying to
get your attention.

So, you do that by
busting out our ear drums.

Hashtag random.

Yeah. You totally
killed the vibe.

What? No, I just...

Look, you don't come
into a stranger's house

and start running
all over the place.

Do you know whose house this is?

Yeah.
Andy Smatherwood.

No. Smattergood.

I mean Angus Scattergood.

Eh, I like the
other name better.

Yeah. I just posted I'm at
Andy Snatterwood's house

and I already have
over 30,000 likes.

Huh?

Make that
30,000 and two.

Could you guys handle
your own luggage?

-This is too much for Ozzie.
-Sure.

But we're gonna need some
help with our other bags.

What other bags?

Why did you pack so much?

Well, we have all the
outfits we perform in,

plus lighting.

You brought your
own stage lights?

Do you spell your
name with an I or a Y?

I. Why?

No, seriously, which is it?
I or Y?

No, why do you need to know?

I'm tagging
you in a post.

-Which platform do you like?
-Platform?

Look.

They came down the
mountain doing this

and haven't stopped.

Hmm.

And they wanna sing
"Glitter Rainbow."

That's not even real music.

Bodi, sweetie darling,
don't complain to me.

You have to use the
video diary booth.

What is that?

It's a crucial part of the show
where you can sound off

about anyone or anything.

Viewers love it.

Gets a lot of zings too.

Okay.

I'm doing this because
of "Glitter Rainbow"

that new song the
girls wanna sing.

It's not good.

It's not even music.

It took no talent to write

and less talent to sing.

I mean, if that's the
kind of music they wanna do,

I don't know if I can
continue to do the show.

That's how much I
don't like that song.

This doesn't seem right.

♪ Let's go ♪

Huh?

Hey, Bodi.

Well, what do you think?

That was different.

Since you're doing the TV show
and we have some time off,

I decided to explore
different musical horizons.

What do you call that?

Zydeco Viking medal.

Maybe we play it on our
next True Blue tour.

Check this out, Bodi.

I call it aqua crunk
ambient trance music.

That's definitely
not rock and roll.

No, it's music they
play in the elevators.

And if you're lucky,
the dentist office.

Bodi, what are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be
coaching your performers?

I think they're uncoachable.

That's what my soccer
coach said about me.

And my track coach and
my toe wrestling coach.

What?
It's a thing.

What seems to be
the problem, Bodi?

For one, they don't
understand rock and roll.

What kind of music
are they into?

"Glitter Rainbow", but I'd
hardly call that music.

Oh, and they like bubbles too.

Lots of bubbles.

Bodi, you have to be
patient and open-minded.

Remember, rock and roll
isn't the only kind of music.

But it is the best
kind of music.

Only the girls don't know that
because they've only heard it.

They've never actually
played rock and roll.

Hey, that's it.

If they play it,

they'll truly get connected
to the heart of rock and roll.

Does rock and roll
have a spleen too?

'Cause that would
be very important

for preventing infections.

Or would that be the
gallbladder of rock and roll?

What do you think, Darma?

Well, it's not
exactly what I meant.

I know. It's better.

I can't wait to tell the girls

they're gonna be performing
an Angus Scattergood song

live on TV.

Ladies, it's time to rehearse.

We've been practicing.

It doesn't matter.
I'm so stoked.

I found the perfect
song for you.

Oh, 'cause we have a song
we'd like to sing.

Really? It wouldn't happen
to be "Barking Moon"

by Angus Scattergood, would it?

Who's Angus?

He means Andy.

-Oh.
-No, no, no.

It's "Sugar, Sugar,
Boom, Boom" by Neon.

It's straight fire!

Okay, I don't know
what that means,

but Neon is the competition.

You're singing "Barking Moon."

But we don't like
that kind of music.

You don't like it because
you've only heard it.

Yeah, duh.

But once you play,

actually play the music,

you will totally
fall in love with it.

Huh?
You're kidding me, right?

Yeah, we can't play like that.

Not yet.
You just have to practice.

Why can't we just do what
we did on our audition tape?

You want to win the
recording contract, don't you?

Yeah.

Well, listen.
I'm the coach.

Trust me, with my
band, True Blue,

I filled arenas and
sold a lot of music.

This is the song that
will get you votes.

Hmm.

Let's rock and roll!

The beat is a little off.

Let's try it again.

♪ Now who's the big dog ♪

♪ Who's bigger than you ♪

Try it again.

♪ Me and my big bloodhounds ♪

♪ Who likes to
shout at the moon ♪

Again.

Again.

♪ Barking moon... ♪

♪ Yeah! ♪

♪ ...Going out to you ♪

♪ Barking moon... ♪

♪ Yeah! ♪

Again.

Yes, that's better.

You're starting to get it.

Wow, we've been up all night?

Now that's rock and roll.

I need sleep.

Me too.

Me three.

-Me four.
-Let's turn in.

Hello?

Bodi, where are you?

We're at the mansion. Why?

We have a show today.

Oh, you and the girls
are supposed to be here
for tech rehearsal.

What? No, the girls
can't perform today.

They're not ready.

Bodi, this isn't
rock and roll park

where you perform
when you feel like it.

This is showbiz.

We have a schedule to keep.

Get over here.

There must be someone
who knows who I am.

Is there?

Hang on.
No sound.

This is music to my ears.

I feel like I belong.

Hey!

Are you the mechanic?

Mechanic?
Is that what it's called?

Yes. Yes, I am.

That was Axe from Team Neon.

A truly explosive performance.

Now let's hear
K-9 from Team Bodi

as they perform a cover of the
classic Angus Scattergood hit

"Barking Moon."

♪ I can howl at the moon ♪

♪ Louder than a
wolf in the night ♪

♪ I just keep
barking like a dog ♪

Ooh.

♪ It's a big dog bite ♪

Um...

♪ Barking moon ♪

♪ I'm coming after you ♪

♪ Barking moon ♪

♪ I'm coming after you ♪

Okay,

interesting start for both acts.

Let's hear from the coaches.

-Neon?
-What can I say about Axe?

He look good, he sounded good.

Dude is the whole package.

Stellar performance.

Bodi, what did you
think about Axe?

He was great.

Yeah!

I wish you were on my team.

Did I say that out loud?

Wow.

I know, right?

Bodi's nose looks
really big on TV.

No, I meant wow,

I don't think Bodi knows
how this show works.

Neon, any comments about K-9?

Hey, you know I
come with the truth

and the truth is I was bored,

the audience was bored.

Heck, their music was so boring

even their drummer
fell asleep.

Zing!

Bodi, don't just sit there.

What do you have to say?

Um, well, you know,
I have to agree.

It could have been better.

Their rendition
of "Barking Moon"

was more like "Barking Doom."

Zing!

Bodi just zinged his own group!

Oh, no he didn't.

Oh, yes he did.

No that wasn't a zing.

I was just pointing out that--

How terrible they were.

Now it's time for my favorite
part of "Battle the Beat".

Viewers, log into your
smart devices and vote now.

Everyone's voting for
Bodi's group, right?

Absolutely.

You bet!

So, now that we're
all getting along,

we're supposed to follow
his orders like sheep?

We're wolves.

It's time we started
showing our teeth again.

Okay, let's see how
the viewers voted.

With all the
votes in, 98% went to...

Team Neon!

Leaving only 2% For team Bodi.

That gives Axe a
whopping 98% to two lead.

However, it's still
early in the competition,

but that's a big lead to
overcome for Bodi and K-9.

It could have been worse.

How?

All three of them could
have fallen asleep.

If you ask me, Bodi's gone soft.

He's like a marshmallow.

I kind of agree with the wolf.

He let Neon walk all over him.

He's gotta stand up for
himself and fight back.

Are you saying my son is weak?

Well he sure didn't
look like a mastiff.

He was more like one of
those little shaky dogs

that lives in a purse.

Ooh, zing!

"Shaky dog?"

It's all happening just the way

you thought it would, Hazel.

Perfect.
You get those wolves on board

and I'll continue to
take care of the rest.

Whether you
zing or not, not my boy!

There you are.

You guys disappeared
after the show.

We were venting in
the diary booth.

Really?

Who are you guys griping about?

Who do you think?
You.

Me? Why?

You threw us under the bus.

Neon was crushing us
and you piled on.

What was I supposed to say?

Um, maybe that we
did a good job?

It's a competition.

You want us to win, don't you?

Yes, of course.

-Then you have to up your game.
-How?

When Neon gives
you a verbal jab,

you punch him right back.

Pow!

-You want me to hit him?
-No.

If he gives you an insult,
you zing one back.

So, if he says something
snarky about our singing,

you say "Neon, I know
someday you'll go far.

And when you do,
I hope you stay there."

That's funny.

A little mean
spirited, but funny.

It just seems like it
would be a better show

if we were nice to each
other and got along.

Yeah, no.

-Who would wanna watch that?
-I would.

Yeah, but you're boring.

No, I'm not.
I'm a rock star.

-Not when you talk.
-The least you can do

is toss a couple of
zingers Neon's way.

I don't know.
It's not really my style,

but for you girls, I'll try.

You made us sing that lame song

and embarrass
ourselves on live TV.

We have to do a song that's
in sync with our groove.

"Sugar, Sugar, Boom, Boom."

-Yes!
-Fine. Let's hear it.

- Hello?
- Hello?

Oh yes.

Mrs. Barstool.

Yes, I'm working on
your car right now.

It should be done
at three o'clock.

Better make that four o'clock.

4:30.

Quarter five.

What? You just came
in to change the oil.

I'm not a mechanic!
Bye.

That song was amazing.

♪ Sugar, sugar, boom, boom ♪

♪ Boom, boom ♪

♪ This beat's something sweet ♪

♪ Sugar, sugar, boom, boom ♪

♪ Boom, boom ♪

♪ Sugar, sugar, sugar, boom ♪

Okay.

That'll work for now.

But we have to think
ahead to the finale

where the points are tripled.

We can sing "Snap It Hot."

Everybody loves that song.

Or, or, or "Love Storm."

That was number one for weeks.

No, if you really wanna
blow the audience away,

you can't do
somebody else's song.

But we don't have our own song.

Hmm.

So write one.

Hmm.

What in your past caused
you to embrace music?

Where we grew up,
the other kids teased us.

-A lot.
-We were different.

So they made fun of us.

And how did that make you feel?

Sad.

Like we couldn't be ourselves.

And that's why we
started playing music.

It made us feel good.

Like we belong to something.

That's what you
need to write about.

You need to do it for yourselves

and for all those kids out
there who don't fit in.

But won't it seem like we're
whining about our problems?

No. With music you have the
power to heal the divide

and bring everyone together.

You really think
we can do all that?

I believe in your talents.

The question is, do you?

-Let's do it!
-Yeah!

Hey!

Watch where you're going.

Me? What do you think,
you own the street?

Yeah, keep rolling your eyes.

Maybe you'll find
a brain back there.

Hang on. That sounds familiar.

Hey!

Ah!

Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh, shoosh.

Shoosh, shoosh.

That's it. I must
be a chimney sweep.

All right, let's hear
from our esteemed coaches.

Neon?

Once again,
my boy Axe nailed it.

Yeah.

I felt like his guitar
was singing to me.

Just a stellar performance.

What are your thoughts on K-9?

Well, nobody in the
band fell asleep,

so that was good.

Zing! Bodi, what do you
have to say to that?

I thought it was a
really solid performance.

Are you sure about that?

They sounded a
little pitchy to me.

Well, yeah, they were a
little off key here and there.

So you admit it was
a flawed performance?

-Yes.
-Oh, no.

-Well, what?
-Aye, Chihuahua.

Come on, Bodi! Fight back!

Zing him again, Neon.

What part of their
performance was worse?

The dancing that looked like

they were waiting
to use the bathroom

or the singing that sounded like

they were chipmunks
sucking on helium?

Zing!

Why is he just sitting there?

Perhaps he had a recent accident

that rendered his legs useless.

No, I mean, why isn't
he saying anything?

Maybe the same accident
where he hurt his legs

he also damaged
his vocal chords.

He wasn't in an accident.

Oh. Well that's good news

'cause there was a rumor
floating around that he was.

Of course I can't
blame the girls.

With you as their coach,

it's like the tone deaf
leading the tone deaf.

Zing!

Neon, you're on fire!

I know, I know.

They may have to issue an
excessive heat warning.

Yeah, Neon.
You're hot stuff all right.

And someday I know
you're gonna go far.

And when you do,
please stay there.

Ooh, Bodi with a
little half zinger.

Yeah, keep rolling
your eyes, Neon.

Maybe you'll find
a brain back there.

Now that was
a full fledged zinger.

That's my boy.

Chihuahua, huh?

Look, man, no need
for personal attacks.

I'm just pointing out
that clearly Axe

had the better
performance today.

Yeah.

And I would love to
agree with you, Neon,

but then we would both be wrong.

Zinged!

All right, all right.
You got a couple of shots in.

Don't start thinking
you're all that now.

I don't know.

Awesome ends with me and
untalented begins with you.

Zing!

Okay. You know what?

Well, you just
need to you, uh...

-You just, uh...
-To what?

Sorry, Neon.

I didn't mean to push
all your buttons.

I was just looking for the mute.

Zing!

Lezah, I should have
bought a shovel with me.

-Why is that?
-Because I'm about to bury Neon.

Zing!

Look at Bodi!

We may have a new King of Zing!

Let's see how the
audience voted.

Drifty, drifty, drifty, drifty.

Ah.

Drifty, drifty, drifty.

Well, at least some
of my wool is clean.

Shush, shush, shush.

Drifty, drifty, drifty.

Look at that!

All right.

All clean down here.
Ta-shush, ta-shush.

You were amazing!

You shut Neon down!

You are a baller.

Bodi got game!

So no diary booth today, huh?

Nope.

Bodi, you finally stepped it up.

I like the new you

and this is just the beginning.

Starting tomorrow we're gonna
launch a whole new ad campaign

centered around you.

-Me?
-That's right, Bodi.

You are the new you
face of the show.

The King of Zing.

Neon, if you ran
like your mouth,

you'd be in good shape.

You're like school in July.

No class.

Bodi!

Neon says he's gonna
dethrone the king of Zing.

You can tell Neon

I think he sounds better
with his mouth closed.

Huh?

-Hmm.
-Yes.

Next time, bring
a ladder with you

because that's the only
way you'll get to my level.

And that's why they call Bodi--

The King of Zing!

Bodi, Bodi, Bodi, Bodi,

-Bodi, Bodi!
-Bodi!

Bodi!

We're playing here.

Just gimme two seconds.

How does this sound?

We were so disconnected.

Totally rejected.

We were living on our
own still together,

-but alone.
-Mia, that is fire.

Yeah, those lyrics are savage.

It's Lezah. I gotta take this.

Bodi. Where are you going?

I gotta do this podcast.

Then I have a meeting
with a publisher.

They want me to write a book.

We thought you were gonna
help us with our song.

The finale is tonight.

I know, I will.

Just gimme a few hours.

I know we're, like,
killing it on the show now,

but something
doesn't feel right.

What am I? What do I do?

I'm just wondering
around not knowing.

I don't know...
know nothing.

Do I sell shoes?

Doubtful. Don't like feet.

High-rise window cleaner.

Scared of heights.

Bee keeper.

No, they'd bite you.

With teeth as big as dogs.

I don't know!

No one knows!

If only there was a sign.

Oh.

Hang on.

Like seriously, how
can I beat a robot?

Bodi's still on the
other side of town.

How do you know that?

Is he posting?

No, I put a tracker
app on his phone

so we know where he is 'cause
he's like always gone now.

Yeah. How are we gonna finish
this song without him?

Wait, I have an idea.
Come with me.

Whoa!

Do you think Angus
played all of these?

I don't know, but I want to.

Wait.

It says choose wisely.

Only one guitar will work.

Ugh. There are literally
a million guitars in here.

-It would take forever to--
-Found it!

-What? Are you sure?
-Yep.

-Which one?
-That one.

The one with the bubbles on it.

Hello?

-Whoa!
-Congratulations.

You have chosen
the bubble guitar,

which is my favorite guitar

'cause I really like
bubbles, you see.

I like bath bubbles.

I like bubble gum.

I like blowing bubbles
with the bubble gum

in a bubble bath
sometimes, you know,

'cause I'm very crazy
and rock and roll.

Because you chose

this bubble guitar,
I'm gonna share with you

my wisdom about all
things guitar and bubbly.

Now I like other instruments,

like, uh, you know,

the cowbell and
the glockenspiel

and the sliding monkey.

But the bubble guitar
is really quite special.

It is the unicorn
of instruments

because it is so magical.

"Well, how is so magical?"
You ask.

Well, look at this.

This is the whammy bar.

With this I can
make all these other

interesting sounds as well.

That sounds like an elephant.

That's a motorbike.

That's a six speed blender.

This, listen to this one.

This is the spectral glide.

Otherwise known
as the "wah" effect.

And this one is a talky-box.

It's always loud and the--

It's like auto tune.

Only better.

Now just imagine
what you could create

with the bubble guitar.

So this is what Bodi
was talking about.

We were recording, right?

Uh...

Ozzie, you're the man!

Or the robot.

Or whatever.

I'll upload the song
and send it to Bodi.

He's gonna love it.

Our special tonight is

bubble and squeak dumplings.

You see, bubble and squeak,

it's got bubbles in
it and squeaky things

which are dead now so
they don't squeak so much.

Here we go.

So first of all, we add
a little bit of this.

Put that into, pinch of salt
for flavor, a bit of pepper.

This is Bok Choy.

That's a vegetable
that's just given up.

And put all that,
bit of this, bit of...

Oh, what's that's?
The spices.

It's oregano.

That's called dill.

That's Kevin.

Okay. Oh, sorry mate.

Huh?

Voila! There we go.

Voila, that is your meal.

Eat it.

That's strong.

Just make sure you bring
your A game tonight

because it's the finals.

Yeah, I will.

But you gotta do
something about Bodi.

Don't worry.
I hired a guy.

You hired someone
to take him out?

What? Nah, nah.

I hired a joke writer to
come up with zingers for me.

♪ So let's come together ♪

Whoa.

Is that an original?

I've never heard it before.

Huh.

That is straight up fire.

♪ Together ♪

Did they write this?

I think so.

It's all about positive energy
and togetherness and unity.

No, no, no, no.

They are not doing a song
like that on my show.

It'll ruin everything
I've created.

Hey, hey, you can't stop them
from doing their own song.

Oh, you'd be surprised
what I'm capable of.

Huh?

Have you seen Bodi?

He was here a while ago,
but he left.

What's up?

We were wondering what he
thought of our new song.

You're not planning on singing
that song tonight, are you?

Yes. Why?

Don't you like it?

Oh, I love it.

It's just that...

Well...

What?

I'm not so sure Bodi liked it.

Did he say something?

Yes.

In the diary booth.

Huh?

I hesitate to show
you this, but...

That new song the
girls wanna sing,

it's not good.

It's not even music.

It took no talent to write

and less talent to sing.

I mean, if that's the kind
of music they wanna do,

I don't know if I can
continue to do the show.

That's how much I
don't like that song.

I'm sorry you had to see that,

but you really should
know the truth.

Okay, let's take
five, all right?

Ta-da.

What do you think?

You look like that dude

that sells mattresses
on late night TV.

I'm the King of Zing.

What does that have
to do with music?

Nothing.
But it's the hook for the show.

Which is kind of not cool

because it's all about
you being nasty and stuff.

Yeah, but it's all in good fun.

I don't know.

What you do on TV
affects others.

Is this how you want
everyone to act?

Oh, the girls sent
me their new song,

♪ Dare to be different ♪

♪ Unique and comforted ♪

♪ That's just me and you ♪

♪ So let's come together ♪

♪ So let's come together ♪

Togetherness and unity.

Now that is how I would
like people to act.

Well, rock onto that.

Bodi, they're ready for you.

I'm done with zing.

It's time to sing.

Eh, Bodi, Bodi?

Hear ye, hear ye.

Is anyone interested
in buying a mattress?

Hey girls, I loved
your new song.

We need to rehearse
it before the show.

Huh?

Bodi, we saw
your video diary.

You took some
savage shots at us.

What?

We understand if you
don't like our song,

but your zinging
is out of control.

We thought you were our
friend, but you hurt us.

It was just like being
little kids all over again.

You once said that music
would bring us together.

But if all you're gonna
do is tear us apart,

we can't be part of the show.

We're going back
home, back home.

What is going on?

Lezah?

Huh?

Angus is the only one I know

who writes music
with a purple pen.

Angus, this is amazing.

Why didn't you play
this on the show?

That new song the
girls wanna sing,

it's not good.

It's not even music.

It took no talent
to write and--

Oh no!

Mia, Lucy, Tess!

Um.

I wasn't talking about
your song in the video!

What is Bodi trying to say?

Well, I...

It doesn't matter.

I love your song!

Yeah right.

Oh.

Instead of fighting
against each other,

we should be working
together in harmony.

Mia, Lucy, Tess.

I'm sorry.

I've lost my way and forgot
what this show is all about.

It's not about zingers.
It's about music.

Music isn't meant to divide us.

It's supposed to
bring us together.

And thanks for
reminding me of that

with your beautiful song.

I am so proud of you.

And if you can find it in
your heart to forgive me,

I would be honored to
sing it with you together

as one in harmony.

What should we do?

Hey, what's going on?

Why did you post my video diary?

Because K-9 can't sing
that song tonight.

-Why not?
-A song about togetherness?

Where's the conflict?

Where's the drama?

Without it,
we don't have a show.

You could have a show.

It just wouldn't
be all negative.

The show has to be negative.

That's what gets
viewers riled up.

Why do you want
everybody agitated?

Because then we can go
back to the old ways.

Hmm. I know that voice.

You sound like--

Hazel?

Yeah, but...

I guess you never figured out

that Hazel spelled
backwards is Lezah.

Um.

Are you okay?

Yes!

This mask is, uh, tricky.

Could you gimme a hand?

What? You're Hazel?

Yes!
I'm a sheep in wolves clothing.

What is it with you guys?

First it was wolves
pretending to be sheep

and now it's sheep
becoming wolves?

Very confusing.

It's really quite simple, Bodi.

I liked it much better

when the wolves
were after the sheep

and the sheep had to fight back.

Those days are over.

I'm bringing them back.

And this show is helping.

I'm sorry, Hazel,

but I can't let
you continue this.

The world needs to
hear K-9's song.

We need unity, not division.

You sound just like Scattergood.

That's why I had to
do away with him.

What?

Look, I don't know what
you did with Angus,

but you are telling
me where he is

and we are shutting
this show down.

No!

No?

No.

Okay, maybe you've been
dressing up as a wolf too long,

but you're a sheep
and I'm a mastiff.

Uh-huh and he's a wolf.

What?

Really? A frying pan.

Eh, it worked, didn't it?

Everything okay
between you and Larry?

I thought you two were friends.

I don't know what's
gotten into him.

Lately he's been
getting all wolfy.

Really?

He's not the only one.

Have you noticed how they
always travel in groups now?

Pack mentality.

The other night I heard
several of them howling

and it wasn't even a full moon.

It was waxing crescent.

Nope.
It was a waning gibbous moon.

I think you're getting poor
reception with those antlers.

It was waxing crescent.

They're horns.

And I know my lunar faces.

It was waning gibbous,
you dingle head.

Does it really matter?

The point is the wolves may be
returning to their old ways.

So we better keep
an eye on them.

Bodi, we're back!

Huh?

Bodi!

Bodi, where are you?

Bodi!

Where is he?

Bodi!

I called again.
He's still not answering.

Hmm.

Wait, I know!

I'll use the app to find him.

What is he doing on
the other side of town

-in a warehouse?
-Huh?

What you're doing
isn't right.

I know, but it is fun

and I like working with Hazel.

But if you succeed,
you can't be friends.

What are you trying to say?

That wolves attack
sheep and sheep run.

Hard to maintain
a solid friendship

with all that going on.

You don't know.

We might be able to work out
some kind of arrangements.

Her and I can...

Hey, I know what
you're trying to do

and it's not gonna work.
You're not getting outta here.

Huh?

What is that?

I think it's a helicopter.

Inside here?

-Do you know how to drive this?
-Don't worry.

I play racing games
all the time.

-Huh?
-Well, I see the joystick,

but where's the star
button on this thing?

Huh?

Huh?

Whoa!

A whale in here?

How is that possible?

Welcome to the season
finale of "Battle the Beat."

I have some startling
news to reveal.

Did she say startling news?

Yes, now quiet down
so we can hear.

Button the lips, sheepy,
or I'll make a wool coat of ya.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Why don't you both cork it?

Huh?

Shh, shh, shh!

Huh?

I'll reveal the big news

right after this
commercial break.

Um, guys, a little help?

Getting nauseous.

Voila.

Dad, look!
Someone's on the roof!

Huh?

Thanks.

Huh?

Game over.

We're never gonna
make it in time.

May I?

Welcome back.

You may have noticed that
Neon and Axe are here

but where's Bodi and K-9?

Well, much like
Angus Scattergood,

they could not handle the
competition and left the show.

Quitters!

Congratulations to Axe
and his coach, Neon.

You are our new champions
of "Battle the Beat."

And I'll take my scepter back.

Not so fast!

K-9 isn't quitting anything.

They're here to
rock your socks off.

Hit it, girls!

We're getting dumplings, right?

Uh, no.

We're going to the TV studio.

Oh.

But then we're getting

Listen, this show
isn't about me.

Well, it is, but, you know,

it's not about the
annoying host

or the contestants
or the coaches.

It's about one thing.
It's about the music, man.

And the one thing about music
is you can't talk about it,

you can't la-de-da about it.

That's boring.

The only thing you can
do with music is play it.

And the best way to play

is to play together.

Yes.

So, let's rock and roll, man!

Never!

Not on my show!

It's my show now, Lezah.

So just back off, baby.

Huh?

And that was for the
bonk on the head.

It's over.

My plan has failed.

I don't care about that.

I didn't help you because
I liked your plan.

I helped you because

I like... you.

You do?

Yeah.

You're pretty.

You think I'm pretty?

You have beautiful eyes.

I have beautiful eyes?

Uh-huh.
