Nick, on the other hand, is excited to finally have hit puberty and can’t wait to go through all the physical changes that come with it.

Meanwhile, Jessi is still dealing with her parent’s divorce and struggling to find a way to come to terms with it.

The episode also focuses on the relationship between Jay and his new girlfriend, Lola.

However, he soon realizes that this isn’t sustainable and ends up coming clean to Lola about his true interests and personality.
