Make It Pop

- Season 2

(2016)

The kids get snowed in at MacKendrick and learn the meaning of Christmas. And they meet a mysterious new student, Linc.

Sun Hi desperately wants a band, and with both Jodi and Corki too busy, Sun Hi decides to throw open auditions... which go terribly! Isn't there anyone in MacKendrick who's good enough? Linc Harrison, whom Sun Hi met during the holidays, sure seems to think so. In fact, he's downright positive that he's the front man to Sun Hi's new band. Meanwhile Corki puts the finishing touches on her "Think Fest" project - a cute robot named "Chip." Jodi begins her internship at Hye Jung Ko's boutique - it's a killer opportunity for her, and a chance to learn from the best, as ...

Sun Hi ends her open auditions with a frustrated rant - which goes viral online, accidentally alienating all her fans! Now she, Sun Hi, has to apologize - yikes. After trying (and failing) to make amends, Sun Hi stages a show at Club Ry Ri, but nobody shows up! That is, until Linc offers to save the day... sort of. Meanwhile, Jodi is so overwhelmed by her internship for Hye Jung that she accidentally blows off a date with Caleb. And Corki begins to feel the heat of competition from the other students entering the "Think Fest" qualifiers - and especially from Valerie. ...

Sun Hi desperately wants to enter a cool new band competition called "Band Blast," but she needs a band to do it! So Linc suggests they enter together, combining their different talents, and totally opposite styles. But Sun Hi and Linc can't seem to agree on music, costumes, anything! Will they be able to put aside their differences long enough to kill it on stage? Meanwhile Caleb seeks out romantic advice from an unlikely source, and Corki's robot "Chip" disappears - who could be responsible?! Corki begins to suspect Valerie, her number one rival in the upcoming ...

Sun Hi finds her new band partner Linc to be totally too much! They might have great on-stage chemistry, but off-stage, they're a disaster. Sun Hi seeks advice from the girls, where she learns about "The Golden Rule." Meanwhile Caleb makes a grand romantic gesture for Jodi, but will it be enough to get her attention? Jared's jealousy over Chip finally boils over, and soon both the man and the machine find themselves in a duel at high noon.

Sun Hi needs to fire Linc from her new band, before she reunites with Jodi, Corki, and Caleb, for an XO-IQ concert at Club Ry Ri. Meanwhile the girls help Corki repair her robot Chip, in time to demonstrate him to the Think Fest judges. But there's some serious competition, when Valerie and Heather both reveal their own amazing science projects. Jodi and Caleb celebrate their "Textiversary" (the anniversary of their first text) at Hye Jung Ko's boutique. But when the sprinkler system activates, and the famous designer returns to see her clothing completely ruined, who...

It's Family Week at MacKendrick, and everyone's parents and siblings are coming to visit! So when Sun Hi hears about all the chaos she's caused around the school - chaos she can't even remember causing - she knows just who's responsible... Meanwhile Jodi tries to fix all the ruined clothing from the sprinkler system misfire in Hye Jung's boutique, with a little help from Caleb and Heather. Jared attempts to impress Corki's father with a special magic routine, making his expensive watch disappear. But the trick works a little too well....

When Sun Hi learns that Linc is putting together a new rival band called "L3", she assigns Corki on a mission to spy on Linc. But Corki's honesty and truthfulness make her pretty much the worst spy of all time. Meanwhile Jodi presents the idea of a Teen Fashion Show to Hye Jung, who thinks it's an awesome plan - and one that Jodi needs to start working on, like, pronto! Sun Hi and her twin sister Sun Mi square off in a Twin War, pulling all of MacKendrick into the fray.

It's the day of Jodi's big Fashion Show, and everything's ready... except the clothes! Jodi needs a miracle to finish sewing in time for the big event. Now with a little help from Corki and Alex, Jodi hopes to impress designer Hye Jung, and all the fashion media that her mentor has invited. What could go wrong? Meanwhile Sun Hi pressures Caleb to write a great new hit song for XO-IQ to submit to Band Blast. But when Sun Hi's demands push Caleb over the edge, he seeks help from the master of negotiations, and Sun Hi's mortal enemy: Valerie.

Jodi unveils her new design to Hye Jung. Meanwhile, Sun Hi learns about part of Linc's background; and Corki assists Jared with his college acceptance letters.

It's the deadline for the Band Blast submissions! But there's just one problem... XO-IQ doesn't have a submission video! Sun Hi, Corki, and Heather rush to create a new video any way they can, before the 5PM deadline. Meanwhile, Jodi and Caleb hurry to submit the rest of the submission package to DJ Maxwell, but upon arrival at his radio studio, Jodi gets trapped in the elevator... with another guy. It's all down to the wire - will XO-IQ and L3 get their Band Blast submissions to the DJ in time?

When Jodi hears a rumor involving her and Darmala, she's desperate to quash all the whispers before they can grow any bigger. Meanwhile, Sun Hi and Linc await the arrival of the Band Blast acceptance letters from DJ Maxwell. But Sun Hi is horrified to learn that L3 secured a spot in the contest, while XO-IQ didn't make the cut! Corki wants to spend some quality time with Jared before his upcoming graduation, but in classic Jared fashion, all he wants to do is hit the gym.

Sun Hi struggles with pre-Band-Blast jitters. But when she confides in Mr. Stark, he's only too happy to overwhelm her with advice and mentorship - and the only way Sun Hi can escape Stark's good intentions is by pulling Linc into the fray. Meanwhile, Heather helps Caleb to reclaim Jodi's attention, and Corki and Jared try to recruit a MacKendrick roadie crew for their big trip to Band Blast.

It's finally the morning of the big trip to Band Blast, and XO-IQ, L3, and all their supportive fans begin loading up the bus. But after Heather has a premonition in which the Band Blast trip meets impending doom, Linc and Sun Hi realize that Jodi and Alex are missing! With half of their bands nowhere to be found, will they even make it to the competition on time? Meanwhile, Corki and Jared stage a trial "long-distance relationship," to test how well "Jorki" will survive, after Jared leaves for college.

After XO-IQ and L3 arrive at the fabulous hotel hosting the Band Blast competition, a film crew interviews each band member for a behind-the-scenes tell-all video. Sun Hi jumps at any chance to go on camera, but the director Stefan has his own agenda. Meanwhile, Jared realizes he never actually asked Corki to the upcoming MacKendrick prom, and now he's desperate to make a "Promposal" any way he can. Caleb keeps trying to explain to Jodi exactly what happened between him and Heather in the MacKendrick parking lot.

The Band Blast competition has finally begun, and both XO-IQ and L3 are stoked to put on the show of their lives! But the Band Blast judges begin Round One with a surprise challenge: both the MacKendrick bands will have to sing... together! Can these two bands ever find a way to take the stage as one, or will their off-stage bickering and hijinks ruin their chances at Band Blast, before the competition has even started?

On the day of the Band Blast finals, Sun Hi tries to focus after yesterday's on-stage drama. She suspects that Linc is trying to distract her, but she's determined to win at all costs. Meanwhile Caleb and Jodi get their first taste of the competition, when they hear a rival school band playing one of XO-IQ's songs! Corki hopes to get her groove back before the big show, even while her relationship with Jared keeps shifting her eyes off the prize.

On the way home from Band Blast, the MacKendrick teens make a pit stop in a small town. But when the bus won't start up again, they all fear the worst; what if XO-IQ doesn't make it to their big show? What if Valerie misses her one and only prom? What if they're stuck in this small town auto garage... forever? Meanwhile Sun Hi searches for a way to contact Julie Greensteel, the self-described star-maker who could propel XO-IQ to worldwide fame, while Corki second-guesses her relationship status with Jared.

The MacKendrick teens decide to stage their own prom, using every trick they know to make it a magical night. But for Sun Hi, there's just one problem; Linc has already agreed to go to prom with Valerie!! If Sun Hi can't have the prom of her dreams, maybe no one should! Meanwhile, Heather and Caleb string together potato batteries to power the prom lights, while Jared spies on Corki, landing them both in a sticky situation.
