In the brand new episode of "Big Time Rush" called "Big Time Strike", the 'Big Time Rush' boys take a "striking it to the man" stand against Gustavo Rocque (Stephen Kramer Glickman) and refrain from recording a new song for their follow-up album because of his harsh management style (such as electric shocks). With the help of Katie Knight (Ciara Bravo), the boys write a list of requests (such as ice-cream machines and hot tubs) to Gustavo in exchange for ending their strike, but Gustavo doesn't accept their demands, so the conflict continues. Meanwhile, Gustavo tries to hold auditions to get a new band to sing the song and modify the vocals to sound like 'Big Time Rush. However the BTR boys fend them off from the studio. Will the guys call it quits or will they put down the picket signs and pick up their microphones? Meanwhile, Jennifer Knight (Kendall Knight's (Kendall Schmidt) Mother; Challen Cates) is also striking because Katie says being a Mom is an easy job, which leaves Katie to do all the household chores. "Big Time Strike" also features the musical performances of Big Time Rush's songs "Superstar" and "The Giant Turd Song".
