IMDb
Talking Angela is forced to face the music when her new song gets a rotten review from a top critic. As her trademark positivity is put to the test, she needs a little help from her friends to turn a thumbs down situation into a thumbs up. Will Angela top the charts, or hit a sour note?

Plot
Angela calls Tom from a spot near him, since she changed the ringtone on Tom's phone to her new song. However, the ringtone didn't play. She gets frustrated because Tom changed the ringtone, making her believe he didn't like the song. Tom's excuse was that the phone rang at the Museum of Silence. He turns the song back on, but his body language shows that he finds the song terrible.

Later, Angela announces that a music critic, Victoria Payne was coming to their garage. Tom tries to tell her what a mistake that was, since Payne doesn't like anyone. Tom realizes that the only he can really do is be there for her. He still warned Angela about Victoria and how she's going to give her a bad review. He claims the only reason Angela never got a bad review was because she was only reviewed by positive magazines, like Happiness Monthly and Journal of Positivity. Still, Angela remains positive about the situation.

Victoria arrives, and Angela greets her. They sit down, Victoria asks a few questions, and Angela performs the song. Victoria decides she's seen enough and left. Angela and her friends thought she was going to get a positive review, since Victoria acted very kind and polite.

Later, they viewed Victoria's review video about Angela. To their surprise, however, the video was soul-crushing. Payne described Angela's new song by saying it,"sounds like it was cranked out of a songwriting machine that doesn't know what ears are." She also tells Angela's friends to stop encouraging her and told Angela to "write better songs." This review greatly traumatized Angela, and she cried under a blanket for a while.

She moped around and Tom asks her why she even cares about the review. Her friends encourage her to write a song to cheer her up. She makes a music video titled, "Payne Can't Hurt Me." The video was a success and she felt better.
