Jude loses the cover of a major music magazine to Eden, the snotty push-up-braâ€™d runner-up in the Instant Star songwriting contest. So Tommy Q. takes Jude -- and her increasingly resentful older sister Sadie -- to a wild hip- hop party being thrown by the magazineâ€™s publisher -- someone with whom Tommy has a very complicated history.

Episode 4

06 February 2005 - Hey Sister

The record company freaks out when Jude plays her new song for the radio powers-that-be and gets some very negative reactions. Tommy's so disappointed in himself that he even threatens to quit. Desperate to keep her number one producer (and crush) in the picture, Jude hatches the perfect plan â€“insisting that she and Tommy just need to ""get away"" with nothing but a guitar and four-track to perfect Jude's sound.

13 February 2005 - You Can't Always Get What You Want

Jude's finally starting to feel comfortable at G Major -- and more than comfortable with Tommy -- when her world and her producer are yanked out from under her, thanks to the arrival of seventeen year-old hip-hop sensation Shay. But Jude's determined not to give up her musical territory without a fight. When Jude goes too far and is forced to apologize at Shay's big concert, she's shocked when her would-be enemy serenades her with a love song. After all, she'd NEVER fall for such a spoiled, arrogant jerkâ€¦would she?!

Episode 6

20 February 2005 - Kiss Me Deadly

Jude's great at a lot of things, but dancing ain't one of themâ€¦which is unfortunate since that's the general theme of her first video -- the one that's going to showcase her hot hot duet with Shay. Too bad the one thing that's not quite hot hot enough for Jude is her relationship with her co- star. Still, she's floored when he breaks up with herâ€¦the day before their scheduled on-screen kiss. How's a girl to make nice onscreen with the boy that just broke her heart off camera?
