Brittany: YES! Exactly what I was anticipating! Casey, you really brought it tonight. You really did! I love the fact that you didn't choose a little innocent song, but this week you actually chose to show more attitude and it definitely shows how comfortable you are in your skin and it really made the performance that much better. It's the top 5 now, it's getting down to the wire and I could really see you making it in this competition. Consistency should be your middle name! Loved it girl, great performance *claps*

Hayden: How did I know you will absolutely kill a Country song? (Grins) Casey, darlin, I think you've found your calling. There's so many Pop stars doing the same thing, singing to the same tune, but you've proven to be different and stand out with Country. The thing is, you can sing anything though, that's what's most impressive. You're like one of those once in a lifetime artists that really deserves to shine. I'm jealous you aren't on my team because it's lonely over here now! (Laughs) Wonderful performance.

A short video plays before the performance, showing Matthew, sitting in a chair and speaking.

“Yo, yo, yo. It’s El Scorcho by Weezer, our favorite band, and after coming down to the Bottom Lineage again after doing a week beforehand, we were set on doing something different. So if this is our last night on the show, I’d like to say, I hope you enjoy our presentation of El Scorcho. Remember kids, Winners don’t do drugs, but cool kids might, and losing is fun when you make it that way. Thanks for listening.”




Strangely, the band doesn’t come out first, but rather a gang of giggling Japanese school-girls enter from stage left, all of whom take to the stage wearing black sailor uniforms, with pink bows tied around their necks. One of the girls however is wearing a white uniform, with a black bow around her neck.

From stage right, a gang of greasers from it looks to be, wearing black leather jackets enters. All of them snapping their fingers. One of the greasers wears a white leather jacket. Another has a sign in his hands, which he holds up for the crowd to see, it reads:

‘GANG GANG DANCE: A BAD, ONE ACT, FIVE MINUTE PLAY”

He lets the sign fall to the ground, as he pulls out another, this one reading:

‘WITH MUSIC BY: THE DEVIL YOU KNOW’

With that, from Stage Right the band enters, each with their instrument besides Julian who takes a seat at his drum-set. Behind the band is their friend Tracy Polanski who carries a sign that reads:

‘APPLAUSE’

Matthew carries a cup of water in his hand, which he sets on top of his amp before he plugs in his guitar. He clears his throat as he pulls his microphone towards himself, picking up the cup of water, and drinks it, gargling for a moment before spitting it back into the cup and setting it beside his feet.

The drumming begins as Matthew, Vincent and Lawrence all begin to strum the signature riffs to the song.

The school-girls and greasers all bend and snap as they walk towards each other (similar to West-Side Story), all except for the two adorned in white. They just stare at each other before snapping out of it, going back into the monotony of hive thought, blending in with the rest of their respective gangs.

Matthew approaches his microphone and begins to sing.



The two different gangs dance in circles around each other, the band playing behind them.



The gangs stop and each take a member of the opposite gang and proceed to do the Foxtrot. Matthew begins to sing as the other instruments slow down...



...and speed up again.



As the band slows down with their playing and Matthew begins wailing at the microphone, the gangs leave the stage, except for the two dressed in white, and they hold each other’s hands, with the Greaser lip-syncing to the song.



The band speeds up, getting very fast for the bridge, as Matthew begins to spin around on the stage as he holds the microphone stand tight in his grip.



All the instruments seemingly stop as Matthew whispers the final words, the schoolgirl tightens her hands around the greaser’s.



With the whispering coming to a halt, and the rest of the instruments coming in, the two kiss at center-stage.



The playing slows to a stop, and applause fills the room as the band and the actors all bow, and head off stage.

Brittany: Best performance you've done in the competition! Excellent job guys! I mean, I told you guys that you didn't give me anything special last week and I think you took the constructive criticism really, really well and I think you just made yourselves look really good tonight. I love the song you chose to cover and once again you put this, Devil You Know, spin on it and it makes you guys very distinguishable. Not only because your the only band in the competition but because your who you are, and you make that known. From the way you speak, to your voices. It's all who you guys are. But all in all, I'm very impressed with you guys's performance this week!
