CeCe and Rocky's newfound "cool" status may be jeopardized when their classmates find out that they are just background dancers on "Shake It Up, Chicago!" The girls talk to host Gary Wilde about the situation, but Gary tells them all good dancers must work their way to the top. Deuce, who's capturing the girls' first day on set, overhears Gary Wilde saying that they need to fire two people, and CeCe and Rocky fear it might be them. Meanwhile, Ty mentors Flynn to be more like him.
