Nicholas Braun as Brad the valet (uncredited).The graffiti on the side of their trailer reveals their name as the Misfits. They change their minds when the leader, Pizzazz, discovers that Rio is dating Jem and take Erica inside. They decline, saying that Erica dropped them the first time they were signed with Starlight. In a mid-credits scene, Erica, now terminated from Starlight, arrives in a seedy junkyard, where she attempts to recruit a group of punkish young women into a band to rival the Holograms. She offers to give the band the cover of Rolling Stone and asks Rio what to call the band he suggests "Jem and the Holograms." Rio chats with a woman called Lindsey Pierce at the concert. With the house safe, Jem and her sisters play in their concert together. They also discover Rio's late father's will, which gives him a majority of shares in Starlight and effectively puts him in control of the company. The reward for finishing the hunt is a final hologram message from Jerrica and Kimber's father. Rio and the girls break into Starlight headquarters, almost getting caught by Erica, but succeed. The earrings are now stored in Erica's office. Jerrica realizes that the last piece is the earrings her dad told her to wear, but Erica made her take them off when she first went to Starlight. They vow to help her finish the scavenger hunt, and Rio goes along too. Her sisters arrive to visit her at the old house and make amends. After a dull solo performance, Jerrica becomes depressed over her mistake and visits the LA house, where she used to live with Kimber and her father. Her sisters discover the truth about the contract, denounce her for leaving them out of the deal, and leave. Jerrica relents, believing she is doing it for the family. Erica says she will oblige if Jerrica agrees to leave her sisters and start a solo contract. Desperate to save the home, Jerrica asks Erica for an advance. Aunt Bailey tells Jerrica via FaceTime that their house is going for auction in a few days. Erica signs Rio off to another singer in an attempt to keep him away from Jerrica. Rio and Jerrica begin to develop feelings for each other, much to Erica's dismay. They find the second clue in a guitar once owned by Jerrica's father when, by coincidence, the band plays a concert. The girls find the first piece in the Santa Monica Pier. The objective is to find several missing pieces designed to fit into the robot to be fully activated. Each clue represents something Jerrica did or wanted to do with her father. The robot suddenly activates itself and leads them on a scavenger hunt. They have brought along a small robot called 51N3RG.Y (pronounced synergy) built by the Benton sisters' deceased father, Emmett. The girls settle down in LA and discuss their next move. Erica is polite and courteous with the four girls but shows particular interest in Jerrica, who she sees as a potential superstar. They meet music producer Erica Raymond and her son Rio. Jerrica is offered a record deal by Starlight Productions and travels to LA with her sisters. The video attracts millions of views in a single day. She is interrupted just before deleting the video, and an Internet-obsessed Kimber posts it onto YouTube. She disguises herself by calling herself Jem, her deceased father's nickname for her. She vents her emotions by recording a song with the video camera Kimber uses to post blogs. Jerrica learns one day that due to Aunt Bailey's financial problems, their house will be auctioned. The four girls frequently videotape themselves playing music and wearing colorful '80s outfits just for fun, but Jerrica is too shy to sing on camera.
Jerrica Benton and her younger sister Kimber live with their Aunt Bailey and two foster sisters, Aja and Shana.
