My Dad the Rock Star season 2 has 13 episodes and the 12th episode is titled 'Chip Off The Old Rock.'
In this episode, the plot revolves around the relationship between Willy Zilla, a world-famous rock star, his son Rock, and daughter Serenity. Rock, who was once the bass player for his father's band, is shown to be struggling with his own identity and not wanting to be known only as "Willy Zilla's son." Meanwhile, Serenity is dealing with her own problems - realizing that she's growing up too fast and her dad is still trying to be the cool dad.
Rock quits the band and starts his own band. He joins forces with some of his high school friends who are musicians. Willy discovers that Rock has quit the band and isn't happy about it. Willy thinks it'll be bad for his band's image if he just lets his son quit the band. On the other hand, Rock wants to prove himself that he can make it on his own, without his father's influence.
As the tension builds between the father and son, they both realize how much they mean to each other. When Rock's band is presented with a record label deal, Willy steps up to the plate and encourages Rock to take the opportunity.
In the end, the father and son patch things up. Rock understands that although he wants to make his own name in the music industry, he will always be "Willy Zilla's son," and that's not a bad thing. They perform together for one last song, which turns into an emotional moment for both father and son.
Overall, the episode explores themes of identity, image management, and the father-son dynamic. It showcases how two very different perspectives can come together to resolve a problem, and how important it is for family to support each other.
