In Star season 1 episode 11, titled "Saving Face," the drama continues as the group faces new challenges. This episode focuses on the group's efforts to secure a record deal for their girl group.

The episode opens with the group rehearsing their new song, "Save My Soul," which they hope will impress Roland Crane, the music industry executive who is considering signing them. Meanwhile, Alex's mother, Rose, arrives unexpectedly in town, creating tension within the group as Alex tries to keep her past hidden from her mother.

As the group prepares for their performance for Roland, they learn that another artist, Noah Brooks, will also be performing for him. The group's nerves are heightened by the knowledge that Noah is a big name in the industry and their competition for the record deal.

While the group is practicing, they are interrupted by Rose, who confronts Alex about her hidden past. After a heated argument, Rose demands that Alex leave the group and return home with her.

As Alex struggles with her decision, Star takes it upon herself to confront Noah and sabotage his performance by throwing him off his game. This causes tension between Star and Simone, who believes that Star's actions have put their chances of getting the record deal in jeopardy.
