Summary[]
Craig loves Ashley and loves the idea of having her in his band. Too bad the rest of the band wants her to go away.

Main Plot[]
"Downtown Sasquatch" have a recording session coming up, but the band is nowhere near good enough especially with Jimmy in the hospital. In an attempt to replace him, Craig asks Ashley to join the band, angering Marco and Spinner, since they won the Battle of the Bands contest for the recording session competing against Ashley & her band, Hell Hath No Fury. Marco & Spinner tell Craig that he should ask Ashley to leave the band, but when he doesn't do this, they take matters into their own hands. Spinner invites Manny to join the band on tambourine & Marco uses the Acordian at their next rehersal.
At the recording studio, Ashley questions if they're really going to record with the acordian and tambourine, which forces Craig to explain that the other guys were retailiating against her joining the band with the awful changes to the band make up. Craig tells her she needs to leave & she begrudingly accepts, saying it's "just business". After Ashley leaves, Craig, Marco & Spinner begin to record their song "Dust" without Manny and with Marco back on base, until Craig has a moment of realisation that everything was about Ashley and chases after her. Craig catches up to Ashley & apologises for kicking her out, and the episode ends with the pair kissing.
