The boys have since learned a little about love themselves, and help Duke realize some important lessons (“ The Glory of Love”). The next morning (“ Buzz Buzz Buzz”) Duke returns just in time to sing for the contest. They thank her for helping them improve as a group (“The Magic Touch”), which helps Lois decide to go find Duke and bring him back for the sake of the group and her own happiness (“Lonely Teardrops Reprise”). They implore Lois to go after Duke and bring him back (“ Easier Said Than Done”). The next day, the boys show Lois they can still perform without Duke (“Dreamin’”), but Lois is unsure. Lois laments her unrequited love (“ Unchained Melody”). Lois tells the boys that she told her parents she was in love with Duke, and then her father fired Duke from the Auto Shop. When Lois arrives, Duke quits the group and runs out. The next night, Denny, Wally, and Eugene rehearse while imagining themselves with Lois (“ (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet”), when Duke arrives to offer the guys some advice about girls and love in general (“ A Sunday Kind of Love”). Duke is startled and runs off, leaving the boys oblivious to the unfolding drama, begging Lois to stay and rehearse with them (“Stay”). Little do the boys realize that Lois has fallen hard for Duke (“ I Only Have Eyes for You”), and she surprises him with a kiss. Lois tries to add polish to the rough edges of their act (“ Lonely Teardrops”), triggering Wally, Eugene, and Denny to fantasize about their love for her (“Lovin' Lois Medley”). As the newly formed quartet rehearses, Denny struggles with Duke singing lead (“ Runaround Sue”).
After hearing Duke sing (“ Fools Fall in Love”), the boys welcome him into the group and Lois realizes her budding romantic feelings for him. Lois likes the boys, but thinks they need to add a fourth member to become a proper doo-wop quartet. Eugene works through his pain as the boys audition (“ Tears on my Pillow”). Trouble comes in the form of Lois Franklin, “Big” Earl's daughter, who shows up to help Duke evaluate the group, but who also broke Eugene's heart many years before. The next night the boys are anxiously awaiting their audition for “Big” Earl, the owner of Big Stuff Auto, when mechanic Duke Henderson shows up instead. Varney, tells the boys to keep the noise down, but no one can stifle these boys and their musical ambitions (“Mama Don't Allow It”).
Wally Patton joins the singing group and suggests they ask if Big Stuff Auto will sponsor them in the contest.
They rehearse in Denny's basement, and it becomes clear when their friend Wally arrives that Denny's mother is ready for him to grow up and move out (“ Get a Job”). Denny, a former member of the Crooning Crab Cakes glee club at Springfield High School, grabs the spotlight as Eugene struggles to keep up with him.
