When band member Harry Styles accidentally drinks from Carly’s water bottle, he gets too sick to perform and Carly begins doting on him. Realizing Harry is playing sick for the attention, the gang hatches a plan to get him back in the group by telling him Gibby has become their newest member. Meanwhile, Spencer becomes a personal trainer and gives a bratty girl a makeover. The episode also features a musical performance by One Direction of “What Makes You Beautiful.”
