Deuce wins a contest where he'll get to compete for $10,000. CeCe and Rocky are convinced Deuce's new girlfriend is only after the money, and must find a way to break them up.
CeCe volunteers herself and Rocky to be choreographers for a dance at the Little Cutie Queen Pageant that Gary Wilde is hosting. When the girls realize how bratty most the kids are, they get behind Eileen, an awkward 8 year old, and try to help her win.
A cute local dancer comes to perform on Shake It Up, Chicago!, and all the girls are smitten. He asks each girl individually to hang out, so Rocky, CeCe, and Tinka all show up at Crusty's the next day, believing they each have a date with him.
A reporter gives Shake It Up, Chicago! a bad review in a popular online blog, and the girls are determined to convince him he was wrong.
CeCe wears ridiculously high heels in a fashion show and takes a dramatic tumble off the runway.
