Sonny Munroe makes the leap from the Midwest to Los Angeles to join the cast of "So Random!," the most popular sketch comedy TV show for kids and tweens. Her fellow young actors are resident teen queen Tawni, super suave Nico, gregarious funnyman Grady and quirky Zora. Now Sonny must somehow balance these new friendships while adjusting to her family's decidedly different way of life in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Sonny must also contend with heartthrob Chad Dylan Cooper, star of the rival show "MacKenzie Falls," who makes it known that he thinks his dramatic work is better than her comedy career.

When Sonny and Tawni are guests on "Gotcha with Gilroy Smith," Gilroy tries to get Tawni and Sonny to confess some embarrassing moments on "So Random!". Sonny and Tawni make a pact backstage that they will have each others back but they realize that there is a hidden camera so Gilroy knows about their pact. Tawni breaks the pact and Sonny starts to think about Chad Dylan Cooper, but Gilroy knows that is a face of someone who has a boy crush. Gilroy brings Chad out (Chad thinks he's there because of a book he read) and shows a clip of him and Sonny sharing a rather romantic moment from Episode 2. They both go backstage and they don't realize there's another hidden camera and everyone is watching them. Sonny and Chad are about to tell each other what their feelings are for one another, but Tawni, feeling she owes Sonny, grabs the remote and turns off the camera so Gilroy and the studio audience can't see what happens. Gilroy turns the camera back on and sees Sonny saying "That was so much easier to say than I thought it would be," and then walking away with Chad. Gilroy becomes mad because he doesn't know what Sonny and Chad said to each other, although it is thought that they told each other that they like each other, based on what they were saying before and after Tawni turned the camera off.
