When Sonny and Tawni are guests on "Gotcha with Gilroy Smith," Gilroy tries to get Tawni and Sonny to confess some embarrassing moments on "So Random!". Sonny and Tawni make a pact backstage that they will have each others back but they realize that there is a hidden camera so Gilroy knows about their pact. Tawni breaks the pact and Sonny starts to think about Chad Dylan Cooper, but Gilroy knows that is a face of someone who has a boy crush. Gilroy brings Chad out (Chad thinks he's there because of a book he read) and shows a clip of him and Sonny sharing a rather romantic moment from Episode 2. They both go backstage and they don't realize there's another hidden camera and everyone is watching them. Sonny and Chad are about to tell each other what their feelings are for one another, but Tawni, feeling she owes Sonny, grabs the remote and turns off the camera so Gilroy and the studio audience can't see what happens. Gilroy turns the camera back on and sees Sonny saying "That was so much easier to say than I thought it would be," and then walking away with Chad. Gilroy becomes mad because he doesn't know what Sonny and Chad said to each other, although it is thought that they told each other that they like each other, based on what they were saying before and after Tawni turned the camera off.
Chad is the new guest star on So Random, and he and Sonny have to do a sketch together where they will kiss, much to her dismay. Chad then says when Sonny looks into his eyes she will fall in love with him. Sonny takes this seriously, and, worried she will fall in love with Chad tries everything she can to get out of it. In the end, they do the sketch and just as their about to kiss a pig flies into Sonny's hands, so she let's the pig kiss Chad. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady get control of Marshall's office for the day, in exchange for Chad's So Random appearance.
Sonny tries to help Tawni have a good date with an intern Hayden (Robert Adamson). Sonny begs Chad for his Lakers tickets. But when she and Hayden are shown on the kiss cam they are forced to kiss and Tawni sees them. Tawni gets mad and hides in her dressing room, locking the two doors. Meanwhile, Chad gets jealous because he sees the kiss on Tween Weekly Magazine. Sonny makes another date and tells Hayden that Tawni is going to cook for him. But when Sonny learns that Tawni can't cook, Sonny offers to have the date at her place and to cook the food. After Sonny ruins the food, she tries to call Nico and Grady to bring food but she drops her phone in the sink by mistake. Tawni tries to help her by turning on the light but she turned on the garbage disposal instead and it somehow calls Chad. Chad thinks that Sonny is in trouble and later breaks down her door. When everyone shows up at Sonny's apartment, the night turns awkward. Meanwhile, Grady and Nico try to put their influence on the name of a sandwich but whoever ate the sandwich ends up puking.
The "So Random!" cast attempt to prevent their prop house from being taken away and used as a meditation room for the "MacKenzie Falls" cast. The number one show gets any room in the building according to the contract. After remembering all the good memories about sketches they have done (like Dolphin Boy and the Check It Out Girls), they hand-cuff themselves to the prop house. After two hours of being hand-cuffed they decide to fight back. They chase away the cast of "MacKenzie Falls" by cutting a hole in the ceiling and annoying them by throwing objects on their heads. Chad says he won't be driven away, but he starts meditating in the photo booth, he runs away because of a rat. The So Random cast get their prop house back. Chad comes back and brings gifts to everyone in order to say he is sorry and didn't know how much the prop house meant to them. He gives Tawni a Bedazzled lipstick case, Zora a night light for the sarcophagus, lets Nico and Grady ride the forklift, and lastly gives an autograph picture of himself to Sonny that says "To my biggest fan, I'm sorry, TV's Chad Dylan Cooper." Then Sonny says she is touched. Then, Nico and Grady bursts in while riding the forklift.
Sonny feels left out when her best friend from Wisconsin comes to visit and instantly hits it off with Tawni. Tension reaches the boiling point when Tawni and Lucy go to Chad's birthday party... without inviting Sonny. Meanwhile, Nico and Grady plot revenge against a security guard who has been helping himself to their pizza.
