In Broken Wings, Peter auditions Spinner to be the drummer of his new band, StĆ¼dz, which consists of Peter, Sav, and Danny. Spinner thinks they suck and their "pretty boy" look wouldn't be taken seriously. Peter is enraged, until he has an idea. Spinner agrees to join the band, but says he can be seen with Peter, but not with Sav or Danny, assuming that they are freshman. Peter comes up with the idea to wear bunny masks so they would remain anonymous.

In Ladies' Night, Danny and Spinner perform with the StĆ¼dz at the Freedom Fast.

In If This Is It, Peter reveals to Spinner that StĆ¼dz got the gig in a band showcase. Danny realizes that they have exams, but Spinner says that it is their chance to play in front of people. Johnny walks by and reveals that he knows their secret, saying he was the one to vote for them in the showcase, which leaves an awkward silence between Peter, Sav, Spinner and Danny.

In Lost In Love (2), Jane rants to Danny about Spinner and attends her ceremony, where she is receiving an award. When Spinner shows up, Danny greets him. When Jane is about to thank the person who had pushed her to succeed, Danny elbows Spinner, thinking Jane would say it was him. Both Danny and Spinner look confused when Jane chooses to thank The Shep instead, and Danny comments, "Girl's got a short-term memory." When Spinner is called to talk as Barry Cohen, Danny looks extremely amused. During his speech, Spinner proposes to Jane, and Danny joins the audience's chants for the couple, but Jane is embarrassed and runs out. The next day, Danny tells her that he understands not wanting to marry Spinner, but she should give credit where it is due.

In Just Can't Get Enough, the StĆ¼dz are set to perform at the Winter Beach Bash, however, Peter develops a meth habit before the show. He misses the beginning of the show, and Sav is forced to sing since neither Danny or Spinner can. During their performance, Peter comes up on stage and forces them to stop singing. High on meth, Peter tries to fight Sav for taking over his role as singer, and then tries to start singing another song, before running out. Peter ends up stranded between two busy roads, and Riley, Spinner, Danny, and Sav all go together to rescue him.
