SUMMARY:  At the Little Miss Rainbow 2011 child beauty pageant, Crystal realizes that doesn't really want to compete... the other girls are mean.  It's not about self-confidence and empowerment like she thought it was.  However, her mother, Sunshine, dreaming of the success denied her as a child, insists.  As Allison, the three-time winner, vows to destroy Crystal, another contestant is taking lessons from Don Danforth and Percy, the Pageant Masters.  She fails her lesson and is thrown out of the class just as Sunshine arrives with Crystal.  They will break her down and build her back up as a winner.  Crystal doesn't really like the sound of that... but she does like the sound of showing the other girls they were wrong to treat her so cruelly.  She's in.

SUMMARY:  Sandy McIntosh, who founded the Little Miss Rainbow contest because he really wants a child, becomes enraged when Allison and her father Steve's horsey-ride act becomes... inappropriate. He throws them offstage, earning Allison's enmity. Meanwhile, Crystal begins her training with Percy.  Don explains that Percy once had a little girl named Becki who loved pageants.  She wasn't very good at them, but she loved them, and Percy did everything to support her passion.  Then one day, he turned his back for just a moment, and she went missing.  He's never forgiven himself.  As Don turns Crystal over to Percy, he says he has just two rules: "Work very hard... and don't ever leave my sight."

SUMMARY:  Sunshine attempts to seduce Sandy McIntosh to get him to take Crystal back into the pageant, and can't understand why the fey Master of Ceremonies isn't interested.  Sandy's worried to find that Crystal is taking lessons from the Pageant Masters, but Don reassures Sandy that Crystal is terrible... and he'll see to it that she doesn't improve.  Meanwhile, Allison conspires with a reluctant Savannah, whose nerdy and needy brother Roland develops a crush on Allison, much to her annoyance.  And Crystal says she can't dance, but has a breakthrough under Percy's tutelage.

SUMMARY:  Roland is willing to do anything for Allison... so Allison asks him to help her blow up the pageant, even as her own father is warning Sandy of Allison's plans.  Meanwhile, Don explains to Percy that due to his deal with Sandy, Crystal must not win the pageant. Percy is scandalized, but Don says they need the money badly... they're about to lose the studio.  He's invited Sunshine to rehearsals, knowing her constant berating will cause Crystal to quit by the end of the day.  However, a geeky young boy named Happy enters and, lovestruck, praises Crystal to the starts.  "Uh oh," breathes Don.  "The one thing that can come between us and our plan... love."

SUMMARY:  As love blooms between Crystal and Happy, Savannah offers her a way to get back into the pageant.  Later, Percy is upset that he and Don have crushed her dreams, but upon reading the pageant schedule, he realizes that Crystal is impersonating Savannah to take her spot.  He rushes to the pageant to help her.  Meanwhile, Roland is ready to help Allison blow up the pageant.  Savannah is with them; she gave Crystal her spot as a trick.  Sandy is furious to see Crystal in the pageant, and makes up a new rule that her song must be a duet.  However, Percy arrives to sing with her, and inspires her to face her fears.  Just as they're about to sing, Roland pushes the plunger.  There is a terrible explosion...
