The next day, Harry and the Family Buns record their debut album, Bunnymania. Ghost Wolf is seen painting the Bunses, which is later used for the cover of Bunnymania. It consists of Harry looking down smiling at the other members of his family, who are smaller than he is and striking poses.
The album itself represents all five members of the band and their unique musical sensibilities: Terri's pop ballad "You're Like a Dream," Mary singing a lullaby to Kristophe with her acoustic guitar, Barry's classical violin playing and the sole instrumental performance, Kristophe creating music with his xylophone (with sounds of paint splashing and toys heard in the background to substitute for Kristophe being too young to speak) and finally, Harry's "Teen Angst" song. The latter is the album's lead single.
A montage then begins of the Buns family touring in Table Town locales, which is shown as a music video from a camera's point of view. "Teen Angst" and "You're Like a Dream" take turns playing back and forth during it. Harry and the Family Buns play gigs at Table Town Middle and High School auditoriums, the television show Table Town Has Talent, and The Mall from "Mall Leader," where multiple background characters are seen joyously dancing to their music.
Although the family is shown having fun performing as a whole, Harry doesn't seem so happy while on stage. Kiff is seen intermittently throughout the video in her Holden Hamster cosplay.
After the music video ends, Harry is shown walking by himself to school. At first he is calm, until he sees the hyena mechanic from "Road Trip" wearing a t-shirt underneath his jacket, which reads "Certified Bunnymaniac."
"That's weird." Harry says to himself. Then, he spots Glarbin Gloobin with a t-shirt of his own, which says on the front "Called in sick today..." while the back shows "Needed a dose of Vitamin Bunny." Harry stares in shock.
He then sees Mav passing by him, wearing a leather jacket that says "Bunnies for Life" on the back. Finally, he notices a purple cat girl with pink hair wearing the t-shirt "I Heart Harry."
"I go to school with her!" a mortified Harry says.
As Harry continues walking down the street, he spots pictures of himself on the teen magazine he regularly buys, and is unnerved seeing his face on the cover. He then steps away after seeing a picture of himself on the side of a public bus, and feels overwhelmed at the sight of his face on the billboard shown at the beginning of every episode.
"This... this is too much. I need to get my mind off all this." Harry states.
"Look! It's Harry!" a koala woman shouts.
"Oh, fudge."
"We want Harry! We want Harry! We want Harry!" a large amount of people shout as they run after Harry, who is trying to escape. Harry eventually trips, allowing the group of people to catch up with him.
"Can I have your autograph?" Ms. Mouffle asks.
A nervous Harry yells "No!"
"I'd love to have you sing for my patients in intensive care." Dr. Lyon offers.
"I have to go to school!" states an exasperated Harry. Harry runs away so he can head to school.
"What a snob." Dr. Lyon opines.
"You think you know someone." Ms. Mouffle quietly states, followed by her repressed anger coming out. "But then they reveal their true colors as a mean, heartless monster and sweep the rug from under you!"
Scared by Ms. Mouffle's outburst, Dr. Lyon and the others slowly step back.
Harry does make it on time, arriving at Table Town High School. There, some of the teenagers spot him.
"Oh, man! It's Harry! I gotta take a picture with him!" a male lion jock states.
"Not again!" Harry shouts, running as fast as he can until he bumps into Terri.
Harry takes a deep sigh of relief. "Ter, you don't know how happy I am to see you."
"What's with you? You look like you've seen a ghost." Terri states.
"My own, maybe." Harry replies, in reference to how detrimental this is to his health.
"What are you so worried about, the fans? Come on, Harry, be grateful. Some people would kill to get attention like that. Like a certain yellow bunny who had a successful pop ballad that reached number 20 on the charts." says Terri, shamelessly referring to herself.
"Oh, trust me, you don't want to be in my shoes."
"Harry... I'm telling you from sister to brother: You're crazy." Terri states.
"Terri, I would much rather let the music speak for me than be the center of attention. You know that." Harry says earnestly.
"Whatever. I have a class to go to anyway." Terri replies dismissively.
"Fine." Harry says in resignation.
A disheveled Harry proceeds to walk slowly to his homeroom class. Terri simply rolls her eyes as she heads to hers.
In Terri's class, she sits next to her cat friend, Cassandra.
"Hi, Cass!" Terri greets her friend.
"Hey, Terri!"
"So glad I can just talk to my gal pal." Terri states.
Terri then notices Cassandra is wearing a gold earring exactly like Harry's on her right ear.
"Seriously?" Terri asks.
"What?" Cassandra replies.
"I finally get to escape from my brother for one minute, and I see him right in that earring of yours!" says an irritated Terri.
"What do you mean? Harry is so talented! The way how he took the words right out of my mouth, and made me feel seen, is amazing! You should be so lucky you're related to him." explains Cassandra.
An annoyed Terri tries to change the subject with "But, what about me? Wasn't my song so beautiful and heart wrenching?"
"I mean, it was cute!" says a half hearted Cassandra.
Terri proceeds to remove Cassandra from her friend list on her phone out of spite.
Meanwhile, at Table Town Middle School, Kiff (now back to her typical appearance) and Barry are entering the classroom. All of their classmates are smiling intently.
"What? Did you guys play a prank on me again? Look, I am not falling for the clothespins this time!" Barry declares.
"Does he really want to go to Mars?" Reggie asks.
Barry is confused. "Huh?"
"I hear Harry's a fan of football. Maybe he can give me some pointers!" Billiam exclaims.
"Does he eat toast for every meal?" asks a curious Renee.
"Uh..." Barry is completely dumbfounded.
"Is he really six feet tall, or does the camera add a foot onto him?" inquires Patty.
"Does he love chocolate cheese quiche? 'Cause I can make him some!" Trevor enthusiastically states.
"Children, children! One at a time. Let's not overload Barry here." Miss Deer Teacher insisted.
"Thanks, Miss Deer Teacher. I'll take over from here. No, no, no, no, and yes." Kiff replies.
"Awesome!" Trevor says excitedly. He grabs a piece of paper and proceeds to write while whispering. "Get closer to Barry's family."
"Personally, I prefer the pop sensibilities of Terri, but Harry's fine too." Candle says.
"No way! Harry sings about the animal condition and doesn't pull any punches!" Reggie states.
Billiam agrees. "Reg is on target. Harry's the best, hands down!"
"I don't know; I liked Mary's understated beauty on the guitar. She shows the quiet strength of motherhood and the amount of love it takes to appreciate your children." says an astute Renee.
"Barry, can you sign one of my quills?" inquires Trevor.
"How... would I do that?" Barry asks, in disbelief.
"Now, may I remind you kids this is a place for learning, not celebrity gossip." Miss Deer Teacher scolds.
The kids all look down on their desks sadly.
"Just kidding, wasn't that album great? My favorite song was Kristophe's!" Miss Deer Teacher gives in, riling up her class into a frenzy.
Kiff and Barry look at each other in shock of how popular the band is, even as members of it.
Helen is then seen passing by Miss Deer Teacher's classroom door, singing an off-key verse of "You're Like a Dream." After Helen walks away, Principal Secretary is seen wearing a t-shirt exactly like Harry's as he steps past the classroom whistling "Teen Angst."
After school lets out, Harry is seen entering his home, very happy to have an escape from his fame.
"Finally! Sanctuary!" Harry yells in relief. He turns the television set on and sees the bird reporter from "Halfway There Day" on the news.
"And that is just another sad, lasting effect of The Great Rubber Boom. In better news, there's a new teen singer sweeping Table Town by storm with his edgy lyrics that have won the hearts of many: Harry Buns, of Harry and the Family Buns!"
On the right side beside the reporter, a small video is shown of a male dog in a tracksuit, elderly female turtle and a raccoon woman chanting "Harry!" in the background. This remains on the screen as the reporter continues speaking.
"Although aimed at teenagers, Tabletonians young and old have gotten what has been dubbed 'Bunnymania,' named after the album. Kristophe received positive reviews from music critics for his avant garde style, but it's Harry whose the breakout star of the band! I get to have an exclusive interview with the rabbit himself."
A cardboard cutout of Harry is shown. It is clearly Roy behind the cardboard and making him "speak."
"That's not me! That's just a poor imitation that can be recycled!" Harry states, seeing right through it.
"Mr. Buns, what can we expect for your future in music? Do you have plans to go solo? Releasing another album? Do you have anything to say to your adoring fan base?" The reporter asks.
"I'm working on a second album right now! It'll be even broodier and angrier than before! This bunny's going to be a lone wolf pretty soon, just you wait! Keep screaming, ladies, because I won't ever want you!" says the fake Harry on TV.
"Well, there you have it. What an explosive personality brimming with teen angst!" The reporter says, laughing at her own reference to Harry's song.
The real Harry is fuming at what he just witnessed on television. He is next seen talking to Roy about it at Table Town Tunes.
"I never said that!" insists Harry.
"I know! I came up with it!" Roy states without shame.
"I can't handle this teen idol stuff. It's so fake, and I don't want to be the poster child of this kind of thing. I just want to go back to being DJ 11:30."
"Come on, Harry! It's hard for everyone in the beginning!" Roy claims.
"People keep hounding me for pictures and autographs!" yells Harry.
"Isn't it great? You're as big of a hit as I was hoping!" Roy says, completely ignoring Harry's concerns.
Harry crosses his arms in frustration.
"It's just growing pains. You'll get used to it!" Roy assures him. "Oh! Since you're already here, let's take some pictures."
"In your dreams!" Harry says in protest.
"It'll only take a second. Besides, you've got the right attitude for it!"
Harry rolls his eyes as he leans towards the wall with his left foot. "Good, maybe a little more moodiness." Roy critiques Harry while snapping the picture. Harry then looks at the camera with anger. "Bingo! Now you've got it!" Roy says with encouragement. Finally, Harry covers his hand over the camera as an act of defiance. "Ooh, the press'll love that one!"
Following the photo shoot, Harry angrily walks his way home before heading upstairs into his bedroom, plopping down on his bed.
"Music was always my escape from this world. Now, I don't even have that. I'm a sellout!" Harry weeps, covering his eyes while doing so. He then goes to sleep by landing face first on his pillow.
Harry wakes up the next day, with bloodshot eyes. Having just woken up, he grunts as Harry walks into the kitchen for breakfast, joining his mother, Terri, Barry, and Kristophe. The family are all eating scrambled eggs, except for Kristophe, who enjoys smashed blueberries.
"Are you okay, honey?" Mary asks out of concern.
"I'm fine, Mom." Harry says, looking down on the ground.
"I know when my fluffy isn't feeling good. What's the matter?"
"It's just... everything is so overwhelming. I see my face everywhere! At the store, on the street, on TV, in magazines... and even on the news. I can't take this anymore." Harry lets his face fall on his plate of eggs after finishing his sentence.
"I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well, big bro." consoles Barry, with one of his ears used as a fringe just like Harry's.
"Thanks, Barry. I... you too?" Harry asks, noticing half-sentence Barry's new hairstyle.
Barry twiddles his fingers and smiles sheepishly. "To be fair, I always thought it looked cool."
Harry sighs. "It's alright, you get a pass. You're family."
"Terri, aren't you going to say something?" questions Mary.
"Well, he's not getting any sympathy from me." Terri says, as she scrolls through her phone.
"You've been really cold to me lately. What's your problem?" Harry asks bluntly.
Terri finally admits her true feelings. "I'll tell you what my problem is. I have a selfish, whiny older brother who has done nothing but complain about all the attention he's getting, never mind the fact I wish it was me! Everyone on Table Toob always asks about you and never me!"
"Oh, yeah? Well, I have an overly critical, pain in the butt sister who instead of being happy for me and supportive, she's jealous and won't stop being mean to me! Maybe if your corny song was better, this wouldn't be an issue!" Harry fires back.
"This is tearing our family apart!" Barry shouts before crying.
"You see, you see? I just knew this whole band thing was a bad idea! We are going to Roy, and cancelling that contract now!" Mary insists.
Mary drives herself and the children to Roy's mansion. She picks up Kiff, who is once again in her Holden Hamster getup. Upon parking in Roy's lot, Mary rushes her way to his room.
"I have to talk to you." Mary says sternly.
"Mary! Happy you're here, I have a big announcement to make for the band." Roy states.
"Ooh, am I gonna be the new lead singer?" Terri asks.
"Better! We're going to have some more unity!" Roy proclaims.
"I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you say that." says Mary.
"Musical unity! We're going to switch to only one type of music!" explains Roy.
"But... us having different styles was the point of our band. That was our whole thing. We're all meant to sound different." points out Harry.
"Yeah, but it's just not marketable. Statistics show people are mostly interested in Harry, with a niche in Terri's music and a cult following in Kristophe's. The other two? Eh." Roy states with brutal honesty.
"Ouch." Barry says, hurt at Roy's remark.
Kiff consoles her friend by putting her arm around his shoulder.
"So, we're just gonna do backup for Harry now?" Terri asks in disappointment.
"Ah, you're shrewd. You might have a future in this business yet!" Roy acknowledges.
Terri takes offense to Roy's backhanded compliment.
"And that's not all!" Roy says excitedly. "To go with the theme of unity, you're all going to wear the same clothes!"
Roy unveils five rainbow colored jumpsuits for the band to wear. The reactions of the Bunses and Kiff are deafening. Kristophe cries at the sight of them, with Mary comforting him.
Barry is the first to break the silence. "Didn't Grandma wear those once?"
"You know what I said about grunge earlier? Never mind. This is cringe." Terri states.
"I've had enough of playing your games, Roy! We are officially ending our contract with you!" Harry demands.
All members of the Bunses, as well as Kiff, leave before Roy stops them.
"Not so fast! For the next two years, you're all going to be on tour!" Roy announces.
"But what about school?" Mary asks.
"Who has time for school when you're a star? Your Harry is on fire! He's touring the globe!"
"Now, wait just a minute. You promised me you would make sure my children could still be educated." states an adamant Mary.
"Do you have that in writing?" Roy laughs after saying this. "Need I remind everyone you did sign a contract, and you have to honor everything in it. Always read the fine print!" Roy shows the contract to the others.
Once again using her gruff voice, Kiff says "Come on, Roy! They're clearly not happy being in the band. It's just not right to force them to stay!"
"Sorry, Mark, you know how it is. That's show biz! Can't have special treatment set a precedent." Roy's watch beeps right after saying this. "Time to take Candle to her acting classes!"
Roy leaves the house as he drops the contract on the ground. The Bunses and Kiff reflect on their situation.
Now speaking normally, Kiff says "Guys, I'm sorry I got you into this mess. I should have never suggested you form a band." Kiff sadly looks down on the ground.
"No, Kiff, it's my fault. I shouldn't have signed that contract. Now, I'm an ex-DJ whose going to sing in a jumpsuit." Harry despairs at his poor decision.
"We need to put our thinking caps on to get out of this mess." Mary states.
"But it says we're stuck making music for him. There's nothing we can do!" Terri adds.
The camera focuses on Kristophe, who lets his paw land on Harry's signature.
"That's it! We can find a loophole in the contract!" Kiff points out.
"Good job, little dude." Harry says, referring to Kristophe.
"But who are we going to find to help us?" Barry asks.
Kiff thinks it over, moving fingers under her chin. "I think I know someone who can."
Candle is shown about to enter the front door of her acting school. Kiff sneaks behind Candle while still wearing her Holden Hamster outfit. She lightly taps her finger on Candle's shoulder.
"Mark? What are you doing here?" Candle asks.
"Psst. It's me, Kiff."
"No way, I think I'd know Mark if I saw him." states Candle.
Kiff removes her glasses and mustache.
"Wow, it really is you!" Candle says in amazement.
"Yep. So, Candle, I'm afraid me and the Bunses are in a bind." Kiff explains.
Candle fangirls over the band, by making high pitched squeaking noises before regaining her composure. "Oh, man, I love their music! But especially Terri's!"
"Yes, they're great, but-"
Kiff is interrupted by Candle. "Like, the way Terri sang the lyrics was so romantic, you can tell she-"
"Candle." says Kiff, trying to get her attention.
Candle continues to praise Terri. "Or how she made the keyboard sound like a heartbeat, that was amazing!"
"Candle!" shouts Kiff.
"What?" asks Candle.
"They want out of their contract." admits Kiff.
Candle gasps in shock.
"And since your Dad made the contract, I wanted to know if there was any way of getting out of it."
"Hmm... my Dad's contracts are pretty ironclad. It would be pretty hard to find a loophole." Candle explains.
"Oh." Kiff frowns.
"But, there is one thing that could work." Candle points out.
"Really?" Kiff asks.
Candle uses her index finger to gesture to Kiff that she should come closer. Candle proceeds to whisper in Kiff's ear on how to get out of the contract. Kiff's facial expression changes from wonder to joy.
"Candle! You're a life saver!" Kiff says with glee.
Kiff runs away in excitement.
"I always preferred jujubes." opines Candle.
The scene transitions to the Buns house, where Kiff passes on what Candle told her in Harry's ear.
"Oh? So he wants teenage rebellion? A bad boy? I better play the part!" Harry says while smirking.
"You want us to come with, fluffy?" inquires Mary.
"Nah, I think I can handle this by myself." says a confident Harry.
"You sure? 'Cause I can help by cancelling him online." Terri offers.
"Or I could give him the stare. That always works in freaking people out!" says an enthusiastic Barry.
"I appreciate it guys, but I got this. He needs me to be a star so bad? Then I gotta give the boss what he wants!" answers Harry.
Harry then leaves his house, before arriving at Table Town Tunes alone. He is wearing headphones on his ears.
"Ah! There's my moneymaker! Where's everyone else?" Roy asks.
"Gone." answers a curt Harry.
Roy seems fine with this. "Ah, dropped 'em like a bad habit, huh? Good choice! You were destined for solo greatness anyway, they were just dead weight."
"Well, it's like you said, I'm a lone wolf. Er, bunny." Harry says awkwardly.
"I knew you'd start seeing things my way! We'll up the advertising campaign, and then-" Roy is interrupted by the sound of Harry throwing an amplifier to the ground, damaging it.
"What are you doing?" shouts an angry Roy.
"What's wrong? Don't you want me to be all about teen angst?" Harry mockingly questions.
"I meant for the campaign, not in real life!"
"Be careful what you wish for." says Harry. He proceeds to overheat the jukebox in the studio by pressing the play button multiple times, causing it to spit out records that break upon hitting the wall.
"Stop that right now, or I'll!" Roy yells.
"You'll what?" Harry asks spitefully.
Before Roy has a chance to answer, Harry proceeds to turn his radio on the highest volume, causing the studio to shake.
Roy is even more furious. Harry simply shouts "Sorry! I can't hear you!"
"Okay, you win!" says a loud Roy. Harry turns off his radio.
"I'll terminate the contract. With all the things you've damaged, my bottom line has been affected, and I'm the one whose gonna have to pay for it! I hope you know, those millions of nuts promised to you and your family are called off now." warns Roy.
"Fine by me." Harry says simply.
"Acts like yours are a dime a dozen anyway." claims a bitter Roy.
Roy rips up the contract into several tiny pieces, terminating it and freeing the Buns family from their musical responsibilities.
"Now get out of my office!" shouts an irate Roy.
"Pleasure doing business with you." says a smiling Harry before Roy slams the door in his face. Harry is shown leaving Table Town Tunes with pride.
As he walks his way home, Harry instinctively ducks his head and runs, but is relieved to see nobody recognizing him as they pass by. He relaxes and then walks slowly.
Now nighttime at the Buns household, Harry is once again seen watching TV. The same reporter from earlier appears.
"Tabletonians have been asking: whatever happened to Harry Buns? Who cares! Say hello to the new teen sensations of Table Town, Holden Hamster, M.D.'s very own Lyall Wolf and Todd Fox! These medical interns have attracted many of the affections of young viewers!"
Harry sighs in relief as he turns the TV off, happy to no longer see himself on the news.
To celebrate the termination of their contract, the Buns family prepare to perform their own instruments at home in the living room.
"This one's for Kiff, who helped me find myself again." says an appreciative Harry.
Kiff smiles at Harry's dedication. The Bunses proceed to make music, much to Kiff's delight. The family clap for themselves after finishing their group instrumental performance.
"I think we should make this a tradition." Terri proclaims.
"Good idea, sis. Maybe we can do it every Saturday?" Harry asks.
"I think that's a fantastic idea! No competition, no contracts, just playing music for the love of it." Mary states cheerily.
Barry, whose ears are now back to normal, happily strums his violin listening to both musical and familial harmony.
"Hold on! I have an idea!" Terri shouts.
"What is it?" asks Barry.
"Why don't we take a family picture?"
Harry nods in approval.
"Ooh, can I be in it too?" Kiff asks.
"Of course! You are family, after all." assures Terri.
Terri uses her smartphone and sets a timer on it. She runs quickly back to her keyboard before the phone snaps a photo of the family: Harry with his DJ table, Terri and her keyboard, Mary alongside her guitar, Barry playing his violin, and lastly Kristophe using his xylophone. Kiff appears in the picture, piggybacking on Harry's shoulders.
Later in the night, Harry uses his DJ table and clicks buttons to alter the sound of records in his room. He hears a knock at the door.
"Barry, if that's you, you still owe me ten bucks!" shouts Harry.
"Guess again." Terri says.
Harry halfway opens his bedroom door to see Terri on the other side. He then unlocks it completely, allowing her in.
Harry welcomes his sister. "Hi, Ter."
"Hey. Here's the picture I took earlier."
Terri hands Harry a framed picture of the Bunses holding musical instruments.
"Thanks. But I have a feeling that wasn't the real reason you came up here." a suspicious Harry surmises.
"You're right, it isn't. Listen, I came up here to apologize for how I've been acting lately." a remorseful Terri says.
Harry is shocked. "Is this a trick?"
"No, I mean it. I wasn't considerate of how you felt, and I realize now it must have been very scary seeing yourself everywhere."
"Well, it was. It was like, everyone knew me, but didn't know me. I know that sounds like it doesn't make sense, but it does!" replies Harry.
"Believe me, I get it now. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for letting my jealousy get the better of me." Terri says, rubbing her arm in sadness.
"That means a lot, Ter." Harry acknowledges. "But I wasn't the greatest either during all this. It was wrong of me to say your song was tacky and corny. I know you worked hard on it, and that wasn't right of me to make fun of it even if it isn't my style. I should have been more supportive."
Terri smiles at Harry's sincerity.
"You know, you're not alone in the whole teen thing. If it ever gets too much, you can always talk to me about it. I know Mom and Barry won't get what we're going through." says a supporting Terri.
"Thanks, sis." Harry says.
Harry reaches out for a hug, with Terri reciprocating.
"Wanna perform at Cafe Penguino tomorrow?" Harry asks.
"Sure! I'll bring my selfie stick so DJ 11:30 and Terri Two-Bowls can give their fans the crossover of a lifetime."
Harry gives Terri a knowing smile as she waves to him upon leaving Harry's room. Now alone again, Harry goes back to using his DJ table.
The camera then zooms on the table chest in Harry's room, where the picture of him as a young child holding Farley is right next to the framed photo Terri just gave him. The episode then fades to black.
