Instant Star

Back from a summer touring with her band SME, Jude comes home to find a very different G Major. Now run by Darius, the fur flies when Jude doesn't play by his rules and boy is she in trouble. Tommy is so busy mediating between the two, he has no time for Sadie just back from Europe.

Jude begs for Darius' forgiveness and he puts her words to the test. She has to perform at the newest Instant Star finale, in a "space" number. Feeling unsupported, Jamie breaks-up with Jude. On the other hand, Tommy and Sadie reunite.

Involved in an interview with a Radio Shock Jock, Jude is humiliated on the air. Unsupported by SME (her band) Jude loses her "voice". Meeting free-spirit Patsy gives Jude a boost but at the same time puts her in some hot water.

Jude can't wait to get back into the studio to make the next album. Liam and Darius delay it and unless she can pay for the studio time, she will be banned from G Major. Desperate for cash, she hurts her father by signing over her trust fund to her mother.

Embittered by Jude's successes, Kat can't seem to find her place in her best friend's life. Playing second or third fiddle just isn't working anymore and Kat lashes out, intentionally hurting Jude. Tommy also struggles with his place at G-Major.

The stage throbs with the beat of Jude and SME rocking out on Anyone But You and the onstage electricity between Jude and adorable lead guitarist Spiederman. He wants Jude to admit that he's more to her than just a punchline. He wants her. Too bad Jude's running scared. Until Jude realizes Spiederman doesn't just make the band more fun. He makes her life more fun.

For once it seems like Jude and Sadie are getting along - united in planning a big surprise disco bash for Mom's birthday. Then suspicious Sadie catches Tommy in a compromising position with another girl. Jude doesn't believe it - but when new facts come to light, she's forced to make a decision. What's more important - her sister's happiness or the producer of her dreams?

Given her struggling album sales, Jude is beyond thrilled when she's nominated for a Peeps Pics Awards - and beyond nervous. Jude's boyfriend Spiederman doesn't help matters - he's having too much fun making fun of her hair.

Jude is determined to have a normal, non-famous, non-G-Major-drama seventeenth birthday with her friends and family - minus her former friend and producer. But fate has other plans, and Jude finds herself locked in a most unusual setting with Tommy.

Jude's never been a stellar student, but when she fails music, she's stunned. Sent to visit an elementary school to do emergency publicity damage, Jude faces down her biggest fans, where she gives one budding songwriter some questionable advice.

Sadie and Jude's latest feud is interrupted when they find out mom is selling their childhood home. Jude's sure it's Mom's new boyfriend Don's bad influence - and flees to spend time with boy-next-door Jamie.

Jude's giddy with victory - she's finally finished her sophomore album! Too bad Darius thinks it's missing something. Forced to reconsider some old songs she wrote on tour, Jude realizes she has some big decisions to make about music and love.

Everything's coming up Jude! Her album's finished, she's getting the funkiest record release party in town - and she could swear Tommy just asked her out on a date. It's almost too much for one rocker grrl to take.
