As Lit and the team are out celebrating the buckle's safe return, Brock and his goons return and kidnap A.Jay, holding him ransom in exchange for the belt buckle. This forces Val and Tasha to go undercover as Swedish arms dealers in order to rescue the hapless lead singer.

After recovering A.Jay (and a couple snafus along the way) Val winds up in a car chase with Brock and his goons as she rushes to get A.Jay and the Lit boys to their concert on time.

* SkewedPriorities: When A.Jay realizes that one of the jewels on his lucky belt buckle is missing, he tries to have everyone go back to where he thinks it fell off and find it, despite having only 2 minutes before he's supposed to perform on stage. Thankfully, Val talks him out of it.

In Orange Country to look for a heavenly Acres timesharing flat, VIP bumps into Music/{{Lit}} lead-singer A Jay Popoff in his boxers, pursued by the souvenir hunters who took his pants, so the rock band hires them. AJ also assigns Val to recover his lucky charm, an Elvis type 'Cat Eye' belt buckle. They succeed at Stiles souvenir shop, but get pursued for it by goons working for Thelonius Brock, an arms dealer. Although X-rays prove it's plastic, not the real precious jewels.

* Main/{{Foreshadowing}}: Early in the episode, Nikki tries to pitch Jeremy Popoff an idea for their next performance, which she does by showing him a model stage with a tiny version of Lit on it. However, something goes wrong and the pyrotechnics on the model malfunction, and the tiny versions of Lit are destroyed, which leaves Jeremy less than impressed. Then, at the end of the episode, we see the Lit guys in miniature again, performing on top of a giant Val, [[spoiler:and again something goes wrong with the performance]] only this time, [[spoiler:it's not the band catching fire, it's Val devouring them alive.]]
