As Jesse continues to wallow in his misery, his bandmate Joey takes it upon himself to help Jesse move on.

DJ's attempts to get Kevin's attention at school don't go according to plan. She tries to impress him with her knowledge of sports, but it backfires when Kevin challenges her to a game of basketball and she loses miserably. Embarrassed, DJ avoids Kevin for the rest of the day.

Back at home, Jesse continues to get to know Carla and starts to develop feelings for her. However, when she asks him about his ex, Jesse realizes he's not quite ready to let go yet. Carla is understanding, but warns Jesse that he can't keep holding onto the past if he wants to move forward.

Meanwhile, DJ begins to question whether her crush on Kevin is really worth the trouble. She confides in her family about her embarrassment at school and her fear of rejection.
