As the season nears its end with just one episode left, tensions rise up, tears fall down and more surprises apply more and more stress in the engineering building. As the days towards the end of the semester grow nearer, Jacquy realizes how much he will miss his fellow engineers as he switches to architecture next year. As a result, he spends more time with the Hunter guys, avoiding Cooper whenever he's free as much as possible. At home, issues have not gotten easier with Jacquy's mom as she realizes that his son is a compulsive liar. Her tears move Jacquy. He prints the letter telling her everything about him and leaves the house to go to Cooper. A few hours later, he gets a call from his mom in tears telling him not to come home too late. Jacquy's friend show him that since she still asks him to come home, that she isn't kicking him out. When Jacquy gets home, his discussion with his mom was more like a monologue as Jacquy did not utter a single word. In the end, Jacquy lies again, promising to his mom that he wouldn't date or do anyhting until he graduates from Cooper.
Back at school, Etta trips, falling and hurting her legs to the point that she had to be wheeled around the school by Cadence. However, Cadence sees this as Etta using her again and complains to Jacquy that Etta is a hypocrite for scolding her for not doing any work while Etta herself is slacking off and not doing any work. Jacquy tries to talk to Cadence, explaining to her that Etta isn't using her, that she just has that feeling since they're not so close anymore. But Cadence is convinced that the school as a whole does not like her, as more and more difficulties pile up against her.
Etta's relationship with Ras, on the other hand, made quite some improvement as he drives her home for a second time.

Ras tells Etta about his problems with Vivian and her attitude and Jacquy back him up after Etta tells him this.
Meanwhile, Jacquy, having more problems with his Humanities paper, decides to call Norbert for assistance. Norbert hurries along and adds a few pages to Jacquy's paper. Jacquy then finds out that Norbert has been talking to someone who is interested in him. However, the fact that Norbert is leaving New York prevents this interest from making any moves, bringing Norbert into another state of depression. Jacquy tells him to take a chance as there may be a chance he is coming back to new york in september. While there, Jacquy gets a call from Gayle who reveals to Jacquy that there is a very good chance she might get kicked out of Cooper, due to her dangerously low GPA, which will bring her into probation a second time. Jacquy reminds Gayle of another student who was on probation twice but still managed to stay due to the fact that his GPA was higher than the first time he was on probation. Jacquy tells her to try and achieve that.
That night, Jacquy gets a call from Ernesto who is caught up in a difficult love triangle. Ernesto realizes more and more as the days go by that he is not attracted to Clarissa in the same way anymore, that he doesn't see himself growing old with her. One reason is the fact that she is mentally young, still in hopes of becoming a pop/rock star. Another reason is that Ernesto is in love with his best friend, Bridget. Unfortunately, he doesn't know which one to choose as they both make him happy but in their own special way. Jacquy tells him to give Clarissa a chance, to see how things work out but to remember that his happiness comes first.
Jacquy then gets an instant message from Etta about Smith. Etta isn't sure whether Smith is just having fun with her or flirting. Jacquy reads into her lines and realizes something that may be possible, but doesn't tell Etta without making sure of his theory first. Jacquy seeks the advice of Smith's on and off girlfriend.

The next day, while in the computer center, Jacquy runs into Dennard. Jacquy learns that Dennard has been diagnosed with situational depression. He opens up to Jacquy, telling him how being gay has created a gap in his relationship with his mother and in the things he wants to achieve at school. From this, Jacquy realizes what Brian has been telling him all along, that he has good advice for others, but never uses those advices to apply to himself when the same situations present themselves. Jacquy points this out to Dennard, recalling their advice to Norbert.
Later that day, Jacquy, Cadence and a a friend of hers decide to go to the pro-immigrant rally. There, Jacquy runs into his ex-boyfriend Adriano.This encounter sparks up dormant feelings within Jacquy, making him worry as to what this means with Brian. At the end of the rally, Jacquy goes back looking for Adriano in vain.
Towards the end of the day, Ras seems to show little interest to Etta, leaving her distraught. Instead, he goes for a freshman girl that seems to be able to catch the upper classmen's attention without even trying. Jacquy tells Etta not to let that get to her, that she can grow strong out of this, if Ras is indeed no longer interested in getting close to her.
At the end of the night, Brandon calls Jacquy to reveal something to him that didn't come too much of a surprise to Jacquy. Brandon feels as if he is dating Jamal since they speak everyday.

Jacquy decides to do this as more problems arise between Cadence and Etta. Jacquy explains to Pedro why he disliked him and apologizing for his behavior, but not getting anything from Pedro, giving Jacquy the impression that Pedro is blaming solely him for everything that's happened between them. Jacquy disregards this, only to be confronted by both Cadence and Etta about each other. Jacquy tells them both that they need to confront each other and resolve their problems as adults, although this never occurs, denting their relationship even more.
Jacquy then runs into Dennard to finish their conversation about his situation with school and everything. Jacquy learns that Dennard may be dismissed, not coming back next year. After talking a little bit more, Jacquy admits to Dennard that he liked him for some time. Dennard tells him that he did notice since Jacquy didn't speak to him then.
That night, after classes, Ras lets Etta and Vivian know that he's on his way down. Etta completely forgets everything that has happened in the last days and accepts Ras back with open arms. They end another evening as Jacquy heads home, with fries and gossip about the school heading into the last week of the semester.
As Ras and Etta get more comfortable, Vivian realizes Ras' attitude towards her and leaves the room. Etta confronts her about it, trying to talk to her. Vivian storms on her, explaining how Etta has been badmouthing her to everyone and how she feels like such an idiot since she's been trying to get Ras and Etta together. Etta tries to tell her that she hasn't been badmouthing her. Vivian brings up the fact that Ras has an asian fetish and the reason she's been acting a little grumpy with Ras was to drive him away towards Etta. Etta continuously tries to tell her that she has not been talking behind her back but Vivian leaves angrily, feeling betrayed by Etta.
