The kids at the Palm Woods are organizing their first school dance, and the boys of Big Time Rush have secured the perfect location, Gustavo's recording studio. However there is a catch, the guys have to perform one of their songs during the evening. Now on top of having to get the perfect date, the guys have the added pressure of giving their first performance in front of a live audience. Kendall and Katie attempt to find their mom a perfect date, during which Kendall forgets to ask Jo to the dance, instead asking her to do preparations for the dance. The Jennifers all take Carlos under different personas after rejecting all the guys who asked them including Carlos (Carlos being the coolest, but still out of their league) and a nerdy kid. Logan tries to find the courage to ask Camille, but keeps failing miserably. James in his attempts to help out Logan accidentally asks out numerous girls including Rachael.

A heatwave strikes Hollywood and James starts to use tanning spray that's supposedly "mangerine" to the point of his skin looking orange. The boys find out that James has "Hollywood Fever" from Camille and when Gustavo sees this, he tells Kendall, Logan, and Carlos to fix James, or he will fire and replace him. Kendall, Logan, and Carlos go on a mission to get rid of the his tanning spray by chasing him around with water-guns. While on the mission, Carlos finds out that the one of the Jennifers went away so he joins their group and also catches Hollywood fever. Meanwhile, while Logan looks for James in Palm Woods Park, he runs into Guitar Dude who gives him a set of bongos and tells him to chill out, catching the fever and losing his uptight edge in the process.

The boys learn that Camille is leaving the Palm Woods unless she gets a part in an acting job, and must help her, eventually promising everyone a part in their upcoming music video. But Gustavo said Camille cannot be in the video, and Big Time Rush tell everyone that they can be in the video. They gotta figure out how to get everyone in the video, and Marcos tries to direct the music video but Gustavo will not let him. They stole Mr. Bitter's car for the video themselves, including all the people they promise and Marcos is directing, and the video's amazing. Gustavo asks Mr. Bitters to sell his car, and makes it Big Time Rush Mobile.

Big Time Rush returns to the Palm Woods after their world tour and learn they are now famous.

Because of the paparazzi and crazy fans, Gustavo moves the boys to Bel-Air, but the guys dislike the confinements of their new ritzy lifestyle and make a plan to return to the Palm Woods.

Kendall has dinner with Lucy and her parents who believe she is a classical musician. Meanwhile, Logan goes on a date with a girl he has the same interests, after a fight with Camille and Carlos is on a date with a Jennifer and James wants to help him.

Gustavo doesn't allow the boys to go camping because he fears for their safety, so they resort to camping on a soundstage with Jo, Camille and The Jennifers, but end up with a face off (Boys vs Girls). Meanwhile, Gustavo is trying to stop the boys camping section with the help of Kelly because he's afraid of them getting hurt. Elsewhere, Katie and Mrs. Knight are camping outside to get a new iSlab 3. Mr. Bitters had saved Jett a space on line.

Kendall, Jo , Camille, and Logan volunteer at a dog shelter and end up adopting 12 dogs. Meanwhile, James finds Carlos and Jennifer's puppy love sickening.
