Lisa was planning her latest date with Beau. Beau agreed to go on a date with her on her birthday. And since Lisa didn't want to have a party, that was the perfect alternative.
Luke and Chalice were back on the show, but under close observation. Gemma and April watched the rehearsals and practices.
Beatrix and Beau practiced together.
Some guards were guarding a crystal cube as Jack came on and did a comedic dance as the guards looked confused. The other Cosmic Buddies knocked out the guards.
The Guardian landed and tries to attack them as they dodged.
"Hey, we're trying to save the world!" Alem tuber says as he and Angry Luigi leaped up, shooting ki blasts and thunder balls, causing explosions as Emila used a spell, opening a portal. Alex and Reilly leap and drop kick it into the portal.
"Now let's get to Insanity's homeworld." Bill says as they look nervous.
With Luke, he watched his daughter rehearse with Jackson.
"Good job, sweetie!" Luke says. Aria smiles. She knew her parents weren't going to be as overbearing anymore, but she loved it when they encouraged her.
Chalice was getting a massage. And so were the cups. They wanted to feel well refreshed for the upcoming show.
Meanwhile, Joe was worried. "I gotta help them." Joe says, wanting to help his adoptive parents.
"It's dangerous." Skylia says.
"But they're in trouble! I have powers." Joe says and leaped off.
With Aria, she was in Jackson's house, packing some stuff for the trip to Tennessee.
She packed her plush polar bear dressed in a Dirk Dangerous costume. Jackson packed his Dirk Dangerous plush toy.
"Let's go." Aria says. "It's still obvious my parents are caring about their reputations more."
And with that, Margo drives the two of them to Tennessee.
Joe speeds by Margo's car, but Margo doesn't notice.
Joe thinks. "Time to find out what's really going on." he says as a golden missile nearly hits him. Joe leaped off the road and saw someone with paint armor.
"What theā¦. Ha ha!" Joe says as the paint man shot red paint. Joe leaped away and smirked.
Joe speeds around as the battle gets to Nashville. Joe speeds out of town. He knew the cosmic buddies weren't anywhere near Nashville.
Cuphead was rehearsing with Mugman after the massage session. Cuphead was calmer now.
"I'm proud of Jackson." Mugman says. "He's becoming quite the star now."
"Yeah!" Cuphead says.
Joe dodged colors. He then turned into Upchuck and ate some stuff and spat out a green energy blast, causing an explosion.
"Oh, yeah!" Upchuck says as he walks slowly and gets tired.
Soon, the show was 2 hours away from beginning. People got ready.
"Okay, we got this. We're going to win." Aria says.
"I know we can win!" Jackson says.
Luke and Chalice got ready as well. They were excited about tonight's show. Mostly because they had a good routine planned.
An hour later, the show was going to start soon. The cups realize their anniversary is coming up in October. On Halloween.
"Mugsy, how many years will it be this year?" Cuphead asked curiously.
"18." Mugman says.
"It's been that long already?!" Cuphead asked, his eyes wide with shock. "I can't believe it!"
Mugman nods.
Soon, the show began as April and Gemma come on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to Country Night here in Nashville, Tennessee!" April says with a smile.
"Tonight will be a quintuple elimination show. So remember to vote if you want your team of choice to be in the top 37 and be part of the 80's Tribute Show in Atlanta, Georgia!" Gemma says.
"Coming up first is the team of Beau and Beatrix Yates!" April says.
Beau smiles as he appears with Beatrix. Beau then speaks. "Ladies and gentlemen, the song me and my sister will be performing for you tonight is a song that my dad sang to my mom on every date they ever went on, then he sang it to each of us kids when we were born."
They then began to sing "I Wouldn't Change You If I Could" by Ricky Skaggs.
The crowd was loving this. Jancey sheds tears of joy as she watches the two of them.
Backstage, Aria was nervous.
"We got this." Jackson says. "It's going to be okay. I promise."
Soon, Beau and Beatrix finished as the crowd cheered for them.
"Next up, the self-proclaimed stars of the show, Luke Huntington and Mrs. Chalice!" April says.
The crowd cheers as Luke and Chalice go on stage. They then do their performance of "If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)" by Alabama.
The performance started with them singing their rendition of "The Eyes Of Texas", then they sang the main song. The crowd was in awe.
Luke smiled as they finished.
Meanwhile, Aria just lets out a stressed scream as Tori holds her. Aria starts to shed nervous tears.
April steps on stage to introduce the cups. The crowd was really worked up.
"Cuppy and Mugsy! Cuppy and Mugsy! Cuppy and Mugsy!" The crowd chanted and cheered.
"That's right! It's Cuphead and Mugman's turn on stage!" April says. "What will they bring to the table tonight? Let's look and see!"
The devil watched on TV and looked annoyed.
Cuphead and Mugman appeared on stage in cowboy outfits and started their performance of "Friends In Low Places". They even initiated a sing-along between them and the crowd.
Fans screamed for them and even got involved in the sing-along.
Aria ran away when they got the platinum button. She felt like she wouldn't be good enough for the crowd. Chalice sees this and worries about Aria.
Aria sniffed when Chalice found her.
"Hey, sweetie. Are you okay?" Chalice asked.
Aria shook. Chalice held her.
"It's okay. I promise." Chalice says. "I know you can win."
Aria smiled and headed back inside. She then goes to Jackson. "Let's do this." She says. Jackson nods and smiles.
"Coming up on stage next, Aria Huntington and Jackson Roberts!" April says.
The crowd cheered for them as they came on stage. Aria smiled at this.
They then began their performance of "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" by John Michael Montgomery. Margo, Mugman, Luke, and Chalice smiled at their kids as they performed.
They twirled their heads as the crowd cheered. They then finished as the crowd roared. Aria and Jackson bowed before heading backstage.
"That was wonderful!" Luke says.
"You two were amazing out there!" Mugman says.
Aria and Jackson grinned.
Carol and Connor then went up and did their performance of "I Love A Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbitt. The crowd loved it and even loved the rain effects.
After that, the eliminations were announced. None of the main teams were eliminated, so all of them will go to the show in Atlanta.
Aria spun and flashed a smile as the crowd cheered.
After the show, Luke and Chalice took Aria back to the hotel.
Aria thinks of the next show as she falls asleep.
