Girls5eva Season 1 Episode 4 Carma

Girls5eva season 1 episode 4, titled "Carma," follows the events after the group learns that Summer has been in contact with Ashley, their former member. Meanwhile, they are preparing for their upcoming appearance on a morning television show where they are set to perform their new single "Carma."

The episode begins with Dawn and Gloria rehearsing for their performance while Summer and Wickie have a chat in the dressing room. Summer confesses to Wickie that she's been in contact with Ashley and she admits that she's considering re-joining the group which starts to make Wickie feel anxious. Meanwhile, Dawn and Gloria call the rest of the group in the dressing room to discuss their wardrobe options for their upcoming performance. During the conversation, Summer reveals that she has done some solo work in the music industry, which makes Dawn and Gloria feel a little bit jealous and less confident in their abilities.

Later on, the girls arrive at the television studio for the show's taping. As they're waiting in the green room, they receive a surprise visit from Ashley, their former member who left the group years ago for a solo career. Ashley, who's now a successful pop star, charms the girls and talks to them about the old days of their group. Meanwhile, the production assistant for the show informs the girls that they won't be able to perform their new single "Carma" due to their choreography being too complicated for the show's stage. Instead, they'll have to perform one of their old hits "Dream Girl."

As Ashley continues to hang out with the girls, Summer becomes increasingly convinced that Ashley is trying to steal her spot in the group. She becomes competitive and tries to show off her solo work to Ashley in an attempt to prove that she's still a valuable member of the group. Meanwhile, Dawn and Gloria begin to experience some nostalgia as they reminisce about the good old days of their band.

As the show's taping begins, the girls take to the stage to perform "Dream Girl" in front of a live audience. However, their performance doesn't go as planned. As they start to sing, they notice that their backing track is out of sync with their vocals, causing them to lose focus and forget some of the lyrics. The audience starts to laugh at the girls, and they become embarrassed and disheartened.

After their performance, the girls head back to the dressing room feeling defeated. Summer confronts Ashley and accuses her of trying to steal her spot in the group. Ashley denies it and reminds Summer that she was the one who left the group in the first place to pursue a solo career. Ashley then gives Summer some advice and tells her that if she wants to stay in the group, she needs to show the other girls that she's still a team player.

In the final scene, the girls are back in the studio rehearsing for their next performance, more determined than ever to succeed. They perform an impromptu freestyle rap and start to bond with each other again, proving that their friendship and the band are more important than anything else.

Overall, "Carma" is an emotionally charged episode that explores the tension within the group and their struggles to maintain relevancy in the music industry. It's a reminder that success and fame come with a price, but true friendship always prevails.
