When farm girl Maybelle moves into The Fairfield after winning the lottery. Jessie wants Emma to invite her to her party. However, Emma wants it to be sophisticated, since she has invited her crush, Rick Larkin, to the party. Emma tries to help Maybelle become a New Yorker, but it doesn't seem to work. At the party, Maybelle has become sophisticated, which attracts Emma's new boyfriend Rick, who asks her out. Furious that Rick wants to cheat on Emma, Maybelle hogties him. Rick lies and Emma embarrasses her. Eventually, Zuri tells Emma the truth, and she dumps Rick and starts fresh with Maybelle. Meanwhile, Ravi gets shot down by Mr. Collinsworth, the school music teacher, to join the band, so Jessie, Ravi, and Luke (disguised as Chip Falcon) start their own band with other school band rejects. Jessie thinks they're not good enough, and decides to keep them from playing in the Battle of the Bands by hiding their instruments. When Ravi tells her they just wanted to have fun, she "finds" them, and they play. As predicted, they are horrible, but Ravi's sitar solo impresses Mr. Collinsworth, who invites him to join the band, but Ravi rejects him.
