Plot Summary[]
Bumper gets the opportunity to go on a local TV talk show, Sour Pickles, to promote himself before Germany Unity Day. He performs his new song and they are thrilled by it. They invite him to sit down to do an interview, while eating sour pickles. He admits that he did not write his song- Heidi did. They are horrified that both he and his manager lied and tell him all of Germany will know he's a fake.
Bumper leaves and is intent on trying to fix his image. He tries to get back into Sour Pickles but he can't. He decides to go to Gisela's show to jump on stage. He challenges Gisela to a riff-off. She accepts and accepts his terms - if he wins he can say anything on her live feed, but if he loses he'll go back to America. She agrees.
Gisela sings American songs and Bumper sings German ones. They riff-off but Gisela accidentally sings a Justin Bieber song. This is how she loses the riff-off- because Bieber is Canadian. Bumper is thrilled and talks on her live feed.
They go back to Pieter's office and celebrate Bumper's win. Later that night, Pieter leaves and runs into Gisela who takes him by surprise and kisses him.
