It Takes Two[]
In "It Takes Two", Malibu's family goes to New York to bring Malibu home after her summer program at Handler. Malibu wants to stay in New York with Brooklyn so they can keep going to Handler and have a music career together, but Margaret and George disapprove. Malibu's sisters also want her to come home. After reminding her sisters that she loves them no matter what, Malibu asks for their understanding and they have a group hug. Malibu and Brooklyn try showing Malibu's family how great New York is, but it doesn't go well. Before Margaret and George can take Malibu home, Skipper helps to stall them so Malibu and Brooklyn can write and rehearse sing a song about their friendship. Skipper helps them to perform. Malibu and Brooklyn's parents give the girls a standing ovation after and agree to let the Malibu and Brooklyn go to Handler for the fall semester, with the girls staying at Brooklyn's house instead of the dorms.
In "Cut It Out", Skipper bakes cookies with Stacie and Chelsea. They leave the kitchen in a mess and go to play video games. Margaret tells them to clean up, so Stacie pretends to be sick. Margaret lets Stacie lie down and gives her ice cream. Skipper and Chelsea can tell Stacie is faking it. They phone Malibu for help, which gives Skipper an idea to secretly film Stacie playing video games when she thinks no one is around. Skipper and Chelsea show Stacie the footage, and Stacie admits she lied. Stacie says playing video games and eating ice cream is more fun together, and she helps them to clean.
In "Studio Sleuths", The Barbies record a song at Blown Speaker Studios. Things go missing around the studio, so Malibu phones Chelsea for help, since Chelsea is observant and has a great memory. Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea help The Barbies to investigate who stole the missing things. They make a model of the recording studio and use random objects to represent where everyone was when the objects went missing. Chelsea concludes that the thief was Rafa's dog Gato.
In "Team No Screens", Epiphany points out that Malibu, Brooklyn, Daisy and Rafa are glued to their phones. Malibu disagrees until she gets distracted mid-sentence by Skipper sending her a baby elephant video.
In "Festival Fiasco", the Roberts enter the annual Chilli Cook-Off at the California Music & Food Festival. George puts his secret ingredient blend in a jar, but accidentally leaves it at home. Malibu and Brooklyn are performing at the festival and left after the rest of Malibu's family, so Margaret asks Malibu to go home and get the jar. The Reardons spy on the Roberts and think they have no chance of winning without their secret ingredient. Stacie and Chelsea catch the Reardons spying and plan on sabotaging them, but Skipper says the Roberts will win fairly. In the meantime, George has Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea go around the festival getting ingredients so he can improvise another recipe. Trey gives the Roberts some napkins and says they can use it to dry their tears after they lose. Malibu and Brooklyn get the jar to him in time and he uses it to win the Chilli Cook-Off. Skipper gives Trey the napkins and says he can dry his tears with them, so he glares at her. Skipper and her family sit with Ken while they watch The Barbies perform.
In "To Dye For", Skipper uses 6 months worth of allowance to buy a vintage hoodie. She supervises Stacie and Chelsea while they do science experiments. Stacie has three experiments, so she video chats with Malibu for help picking one. Skipper, Stacie and Chelsea see that Malibu and Brooklyn accidentally dyed their skin green, and Skipper makes fun of them. Skipper leaves Stacie and Chelsea to get a lamp to help her photograph her hoodie. Stacie accidentally spills a lemon drink on Skipper's hoodie. Stacie takes it outside so it can dry in the sun. Skipper gets angry when she finds out something happened, so Stacie runs away with the hoodie. When Skipper finally sees the hoodie, she loves how the stains make it looks truly one-of-a-kind.
In "Race to the Finish", Skipper and the rest of Malibu's family go to New York to bring Malibu and Brooklyn to California for the summer. The girls try to give their finished demo to Otto Phoenix, but he is out of his office and won't be back until after they've left for California. Skipper and many other people help Malibu and Brooklyn to find Otto and she watches as the girls perform for Otto. Skipper video chats with Ken so he can watch. Otto takes their demo and says he will listen to it and contact the girls. Skipper and the rest of the audience cheers and applauds. When the West Coast Roberts leave for California with Brooklyn, Rafa and Gato sneak onto the camper, so Malibu says they will need to take a detour through Queens.
