Danny goes to meet the ten contestants. The kids perform. The parents and children are given ten minutes to prepare to meet with talent agent Marki Costello. One parent/child team is sent home.
The remaining teams reassemble to meet Danny after the last elimination to figure out how they must change to win the competition. The next morning our host, Danny takes the parents on a bus tour of previous Hollywood child star's missteps of drugs, drunk driving and death. Danny has also toured pretty much all these missteps personally but the parents are undeterred, and convinced that their children will not make similar mistakes.
Danny and Marki announce the next challenge on the set of a horror movie mansion. The children's challenge will be a film screen test for a horror movie. The parent's challenge is to coach their children and negotiate with each other while working with another team with professionalism and tact.
The teams must shoot and select a headshot that captures each kid's "brand". Rocky and Hayley win, and Hayley is given extra help from a choreographer in the challenge: a dance audition for a sneaker commercial. At elimination, Rocky and Hayley are sent home.
Each child auditions for Katherine Staud, the casting director for Hannah Montana, Joel, the dialect coach, Danny and Marki. The panel takes off the kid gloves in giving their feedback to the children. The children had more trouble with this challenge. The winning child is the same child who has won three of the challenges of five challenges creating jealousy in the other teams.
The children perform dramatic scenes with a soap star. Later, the bias-parents, vote for the team who will get immunity.
This week's parents challenge is to manage their children's persona. The children's challenge is a live group radio interview by Danny. Danny is going to interview the parents first.
