Her father, worried, explains that he was the one who told Jesse not to ask her to prom. Angered, Nova storms out of the house. Meanwhile, at Lloyd's house, it is revealed that he is taking his sister to prom. At Jesse's house, his mother has a talk with him, and he realizes that he should still take Nova to prom.At the school, Tyler leads Simone into the building, and almost immediately abandons her.

She goes to the concert parking lot, where she waits for Lucas, and they share a dance.Nova is having an awful time at prom, and when Ali tells her the fountain centerpiece is broken, she cannot take it anymore.
