In "Austin & Ally" season 4 episode 12, titled "Comebacks & Crystal Balls", the talented group of friends are back at it again, working through their latest musical and personal challenges. The episode begins with the gang sitting around discussing their big plans for the future. As they talk, they realize that they have all hit some kind of snag, which is keeping them from moving forward with their goals. Austin is struggling to come up with new material for his music, while Ally is desperate to overcome her writer's block and produce new lyrics. Trish, on the other hand, is worried about her job, and Dez just wants to find a way to distinguish himself as a filmmaker.
In an effort to help each other out, the friends decide to swap roles for a day. They each take on the other's struggles to see if they can come up with a fresh perspective. Austin becomes Ally's writing partner, while Ally becomes Austin's muse. Dez helps Trish with her latest job crisis, and Trish assists Dez with his latest film project.
Meanwhile, a new psychic comes to town and is set to perform at the mall. The gang is hesitant to believe in her, especially after she predicts bad things happening to each of them. But when her predictions start coming true, they begin to wonder if she's the real deal and if they might be able to use her powers to help them with their problems.
As the day progresses, the group finds that taking on each other's challenges is harder than they thought. Austin struggles with writing lyrics, and Ally can't seem to come up with a melody for Austin's new song. Trish can't handle Dez's crazy film ideas, and Dez can't quite nail Trish's professional demeanor.
Despite their difficulties, the group continues to encourage each other, and they eventually come up with a plan to help everybody succeed. With the psychic's help, they decide to have a movie premiere for Dez's latest film and use it to debut Austin's new song. Trish uses her job connections to get the word out, and Ally comes up with a unique way to promote the event.
The big premiere goes off without a hitch, and everyone in the audience loves it. Austin and Ally's new song is a huge hit, and Dez's film gets rave reviews. Trish gets a promotion at work and feels much better about her career path. And the psychic's predictions turn out to be true – but in a surprisingly positive way for everyone involved.
In the end, the group learns that sometimes, the best way to overcome obstacles is to rely on your friends and to believe in the power of positive thinking. They each come away from the experience with a renewed sense of confidence and a deeper appreciation for the unique talents that they bring to the group. It's a heartwarming tale of friendship, perseverance, and the power of a little bit of magic.
