The Joint Venture

Jacob and Erik form a bond and begin writing songs together, while Trevor feels excluded. A few ""O-Town Groupies"" come to the house and hang out with Jacob and Erik, all night. The next day, Lou Pearlman checks out on how the guys are doing. He then talks to the group one on one. Later, the groupies come back and leave the house along with Jacob, Erik and Ashley. While they're gone, Marc comes over and gets furious. When the guys return home, they feel bad about being out, and decide to start working harder.
