Man, it doesn't get much cheesier than this. There's a knock at the door. Everyone is quiet for a second. Jacob says he hopes it's Security. Silent Mike says he doubts it's Ashley. Silent Mike answers. It's a bellman, and the subtitle reads: "If the blond one doesn't return, can I join your band? Everyone tells me I look like Ikaika." Silent Mike slams the door in the kid's face. He knocks again. Mike answers. "You have to leave the hotel," the bellman says in perfect English. "Because your fans are disturbing all the other guests." Silent Mike badly acts that he can't believe they're getting kicked out. He shuts the door with an "okay," and tells the boys they've been kicked out. Nobody is really that upset, because it's not really happening. Then we freeze on shots of the boys as we hear frantic voice-overs. Erik: "We've been kicked out!?" Trevor: "Ashley is still missing!" Jacob: "Hmm. I wonder if Clive likes my songwriting." It's like I'm dreaming this episode, and soon I'll wake up and find myself with my cat on my chest, sticking his muzzle in my ear.
We're back in the fake theater for another fake segment segue. Erik tells us that Ashley's been kidnapped, and they just got kicked out of their hotel. Trevor asks how they got kicked out of their own hotel in their own movie. "Dude!" Jacob shouts. "All the cool bands get kicked out of their hotels!" The boys all nod fiercely, but they don't know the names of any real bands, so they all just stop talking. "Roll it" is all Erik can think to say.
Ashley's leaving the fake O-Town-loving apartment, telling the girls that he and Susan wanted to stop by and say hello. "No fair! You said we could keep him!" read the subtitles. The girls ask in English for five minutes. Ashley says he'd love to stay five minutes, but he can't. The girl has a total freak-out, jumping up and down and pleading. Ashley makes his "torn" face, but has no real choice.
Cut to the full meal that Ashley's consuming with the girls. Ashley wins for best line as he gestures to the food and says to a woman that I'm assuming is playing the role of Susan's mother, "Mrs. Peterslig, this is delicious!" Hee. He asks what it is. Mrs. Peterslig says in German that Ashley's eating goose fat. Ashley doesn't understand, so Susan translates and then makes noises that are supposed to sound like a goose. I can't believe they don't pull the ol' "Oh-wah-tah-goo-siam" bit with Ash here, since he's game for anything. The subtitles tell us the redhead's saying, "Did that little brat Maria really get his t-shirt?" The other girl "says" she needs something of Ashley's to sell on eBay. Susan asks Ashley to give up something else of his. Ashley laughs and says he doesn't have anything left.
