Summary: It's months after the Harry Braunstein signing disaster and Paulie, David, and Joey are still unable to land rock or kids gigs. In fact, they're reduced to scraping pennies together just to eat. And then the mounting pressures of life, and a stolen cheeseburger, finally push them to break up ZO2 and end the dream for good.

Episode 3: All Z Small Things
Air Date: June 21st, 2009
Summary: The boys play a kids party for a lesbian couple and their adopted Chinese child, then get a shot at redemption when Dina scores them a gig opening for Kiss...or so they thought. It turns out Kiss lost more than a step since ZO2 last opened for them; they lost a few feet. But the boys go forward with the gig anyway because if there's one thing they've learned, it's that new experiences are what it's all about. Except when that new experience involves Neil and a leopard print teddy.

Summary: As the boys search for a new sound for ZO2, an old ghost reappears and throws the makeup of the band into question; Dave Navarro is back.

Meanwhile, Dina runs smack into an old ghost of her own. The one that got away: rock legend Daryl Hall.
Episode 6: Z Wrestler
Air Date: July 12nd, 2009
Summary: The boys' dreams finally come true: they play a wrestling-themed kids party in which they get to dress up in tights and capes.

Episode 7: Z My Baby
Air Date: July 19th, 2009
Summary: On the eve of Battle of the Bands, Joey hurts his knee, putting ZO2's entry into question - and turning their biggest rival, Steel Panther, into the favorites to win the competition and take home the $15,000 prize. Just when they think the situation couldn't get worse, an old flame of David's comes back into the picture -- nine months pregnant, and recently engaged to a former pro football player with a jealous streak.
Episode 8: Z Rock This Town
Air Date: July 26th, 2009
Summary: For the first time in their lives, the boys are friends with "the man." A local Brooklyn politician running for State Senate hires ZO2 to play a political rally, but questions regarding his alleged mafia connections force the boys to decide whether or not to accept their big payday, and risk their integrity in the process - or turn it down, and risk their necks. Meanwhile, Neil deals with a union problem - and the unwanted advances of another man.
Episode 9: Johnny Z. Goode
Air Date: August 2nd, 2009
Summary: John Popper returns, rehabilitated, 12-stepping, and looking to make amends for prior misdeeds - namely, nearly ruining the boys' careers. But while he can't get ZO2 signed to a label, he can get them the next best things - lunch, and an audition for Paulie for the lead on Broadway's "Rock of Ages." Old passions are reignited between Dina and Popper, leading to sex practices involving condiments -- and a surprising proposition.
Episode 10: Z Will Rock You
Air Date: August 9th, 2009
Summary: ZO2 gets the gig of a lifetime: a Bar Mitzvah. Technically speaking, it's actually a "B-iz-ar Mitzvah" for a well-known black rapper, and it's being filmed as the pilot episode of a highly anticipated reality series about crazy Bar Mitzvahs. But will one of Judaism's most sacred traditions threaten the boys impending superstardom? (The answer is quite possibly. It quite possibly could potentially threaten their impending superstardom)
