==Episode Summary==
===Part A: Delexa's first fight===
The episode opens with Alexa and her friend Mary watching Dean's ongoing basketball game in the bleachers. The two appear to discuss Alexa's future plans with Dean before Dean's team, the South Burbank Scorpions, gets called over for a time out with less than ten seconds left on the clock. The team briefly discuss their strategy resulting in them agreeing to pass the ball to Dean for the final shot. The time out breaks as the game resumes. As Alexa and Mary watch on from the bleachers in anxiousness, the Scorpions carry out their plan and hand the ball for Dean to shoot the gaming winning goal with less than ten seconds to spare. Just as he shoots, he ends up missing badly, causing the other team to block the shot and scoring at the other end of the court as the siren sounds. As the winning team celebrates together, Dean's teammates proceed to boo him and shove him to the ground. The coach then approaches the playing group to discuss their failures. At his moment, Alexa notably pulls out her phone and chooses not to listen. The coach drills the team for a little while before eventually leaving in an agitated state. The other team members then grill into Dean once more as he attempts to defend himself. At one point he turns to Alexa to defend him, however she still appears busy on her phone at that point. Finally the exchange concludes with many team members throwing their used towels at Dean. Once they leave, Dean stands up, brushes the towels off of him and stares at Alexa again, who is once again enthralled in whatever was on her phone screen. Dean stares at her in disappointment.
Alexa excitedly sets up the TV set with a showing of Sea Dogs when Blanket enters the room confused. Alexa then explains her plans to watch the show with Dean and order his favourite pizza in order to cheer him up after his game. Just as the pizza arrives, Alexa takes it from the delivery man and Blanket attempts to change the channel on the TV. Alexa appears annoyed as Dean finally arrives home in a devastated state. Alexa greets him and tells him about her plan, however Dean shrugs it off and agrees to go upstairs to his room instead. Alexa and Blanket stare at him in confusion as he makes his way upstairs. The two share a brief discussion before Alexa agrees to take a slice of pizza up to him. Not long later, Alexa enters Dean's bedroom to find him sitting on the edge of his bed in defeat. She attempts to talk to him and offer him pizza, however he once again refuses and barely speaks a word to her. He eventually asks her to leave him alone, and she obliges by leaving the slice of pizza on his bed. Just as she leaves the room, Dean picks up the slice of pizza and chucks it at his bedroom window.
Alexa and Blanket are seen finalising their own meals in the kitchen when they agree to serve them up immediately to Dean. Blanket presents her meal to Dean, and he enthusiastically takes it off of her. Immediately afterwards Alexa attempts to present Dean with her own making of a side dish, however he refuses to have any in stark contrast to Blanket's dish from moments before. Alexa attempts to dump some of her meal onto Dean's plate, but while doing so he consistently reminds her that he didn't want any. Finally he snaps as he grabs her arm in anger. Alexa and Blanket look at him in shock, however Dean agrees to leave the room in anger and disappointment and takes Blanket's meal with him. Alexa and Blanket share another talk with each other before Alexa agrees to finally talk to him. Out on the terrace, Alexa finds a distraught Dean and asks him about what was bothering him. The two then share a hostile conversation about her refusal to defend him at the basketball game. This revelation causes Alexa to get upset at Dean also, causing her to storm off in anger. She then re-enters the living room, picks up Dean's pizza from earlier, smashes it on the ground and starts crying to herself.
Mary is seen ushering people on the new ride "The Slingshot" in a monotone voice at the amusement park when Alexa approaches her to ask her for advice. As Mary mistakens Alexa for a customer at first, she quickly corrects her mistake as the two share a conversation. Since Mary was supposed to be on shift at the park, she assigns a random customer her role and bribes him with $50 to convince him to do so. She then pulls Alexa away from the ride as the two share a conversation about Dean. Not long later, Dean arrives at the amusement park with Blanket as the two discuss the possibility of riding "The Slingshot" together. Dean declines, however Blanket agrees to go on her own as the two make a bet with each other about the potential of Blanket throwing up on the ride. As Blanket leaves, Dean locks eyes with Alexa on the other side of the park and sarcastically tacks on to Blanket's vomit bet. Mary then allows Alexa and Dean to have a chat while she excuses herself with a "plan". Alexa and Dean appear rather awkward with one another as Mary ushers the two to a "secret" location to chat. The scene then cuts to a seemingly abandoned ride surrounded by a romantic backdrop (believed to be a Tunnel of Love ride) as Mary encourages the pair to sit in it and chat with one another. They reluctantly agree as Mary leaves them alone in privacy.
Alexa and Dean are seen sitting beside each other awkwardly on the ride when Dean offers for the pair to leave. Alexa agrees, however in doing so she accidentally presses a button that applies seat belts to them. The pair struggle to get the seat belts off when Mary appears to recover her assigned shift with the customer she previously paid. Suddenly her boss approaches her and the two share a conversation about the ride. It is soon established that there was a second Slingshot ride that he was planning on testing due to demand. He then walks off in the ride's direction, which is revealed to be the ride that Dean and Alexa were sitting on. As her boss begins to press a few buttons, Mary attempts to stop him however in doing so she accidentally turns the ride on, causing Dean and Alexa to shoot up into the air. The two begin to panic as they reach the top of it. On the ground, Mary and her boss discuss the workings of the ride, which results in it getting stuck. Dean and Alexa stare at each other in panic and share a brief talk with one another. Blanket is seen riding the other Slingshot ride next to them as she eggs them on.
Mary calls Alexa's phone and tells her about what had just occurred. She also assures her that the fire department was on their way in two hours. Alexa begins to panic, however as Dean attempts to calm her down she accidentally drops her phone to the ground. Dean then offers to use his phone, however while attempting to get it out of his pocket it ends up falling on to a platform under the ride seats. Dean attempts to reach it, but in doing so his seat belt becomes disengaged, causing him to fall out of the chair. He manages to grab the edge of the ride with one hand as he is left hanging off the ride. Alexa begins to worry, however with quick thinking she ends up disengaging her own seat belt, standing up on her chair and offering her hand to Dean. Although she struggles a little, she ends up pulling him up successfully. As the crowd on the ground erupts in cheers, Alexa and Dean share a kiss and apology with each other on top of the ride. Meanwhile on the ground, Mary's boss offers for the staff to pull out a giant air mattress in order for the pair to jump off the ride. As the giant air mattress is pulled in, both Dean and Alexa refuse to jump off. As they turn to sit back in their seats, Dean accidentally falls off the ride, causing him to land in the middle of the mattress. He stands up alive and well and shouts at Alexa to jump as well. Alexa stares at him and jumps off as well, however she covers her eyes while doing so. She ends up landing on the mattress with her hands covering her eyes, causing her to go into a complete panic before Dean removes them. The two share an embrace as the crowd continue to applaud.
===Part B: Reuben's driving test===
Following the opening credits, Reuben is seen conversing with a Scuba driver in a Scuba about his upcoming ambition of purchasing a car for his upcoming driving test. The driver then lets Reuben out when he reaches his location. Reuben approaches a young man in the driveway of a house and introduces himself as the two discuss the intention of Reuben's new purchase. As Reuben's new car is under a tarp, the man uncovers the car to find an old and beaten car underneath it. Reuben begins to protest at the sight and outright refuses to purchase it. The man defends the car by starting it himself. Eventually he realises that he was due to sit his driver's test in under an hour, so he ends up buying it from the man for a heavily discounted price.
Reuben is seen sitting outside the DMV in his new car when an old instructor approaches him in confusion. Reuben formally introduces himself as the instructor enters the vehicle. The instructor proceeds to comment about the ware and tear of the car, however Reuben constantly defends it. Not long later Reuben's driving test officially commences as the instructor tells him to start the car and pull out from the kerb. He does so, however he appears to not check his blind spot before pulling out and ends up cutting a car off, causing it to honk at him. Reuben waves at the other car in an apology.
Three quarters into Reuben's driving test, the instructor continues to provide Reuben with instructions which results in him claiming that Reuben was "smoking". Reuben accepts this as a compliment before the instructor tells him to pull over; citing that he was worried about the car's engine. Reuben drives into the kerb rather sharply as he obliges. The scene then cuts to Reuben standing by his car with the bonnet open. Reuben doesn't appear to see anything wrong with the car (despite it smoking) however the instructor tells him to call for roadside assistance. As Reuben appears to have no knowledge about what roadside assistance was, he pulls out his phone to call "someone", which ends up being Rachel. Rachel is seen getting a tattoo when she answers her phone in annoyance. She then leads Reuben into believing she was in a therapy session as the two share a conversation about Reuben's car. Rachel simply provides him with her roadside company's number and agrees to claim the damage under her car insurance. When the phone call ends, Reuben reassures that the roadside company would be there in "five, maybe even two".
Two hours later, a mechanic fixes Reuben's car as Reuben appears thankful. As the mechanic leaves, the instructor threatens to suspend Reuben's driving test, however Reuben convinces him to carry through with it until the end. The pair get back in the car as the driving test resumes. Not long later, the scene cuts to the end of Reuben's driving test. As Reuben pulls into the kerb, he ends up hitting a mailbox. The instructor doesn't appear impressed as he allows him time to calculate his results. The calculation is done within a second, and it is revealed that Reuben successfully passed his test. Reuben appears ecstatic as he is handed his results sheet. The two then share a brief chat, resulting in Reuben hugging the instructor. The two men agree that the current situation was awkward as the instructor gets out of the car.
===Closing scene===
During the closing credits, Alexa and Dean are seen embracing each other in the living room; vouching to hold on to each other "forever". Suddenly Reuben arrives home with the news that he passed his driving test. The three all celebrate the news when the conversation switches to Dean and Alexa's ordeal on the ride from earlier. Reuben reveals that the event made the local news and that Rachel had sent him a video mocking it. The three are then shown a scene of Rachel recreating Dean's one-arm act on a gymnastics bar, showing that she can clearly pull herself up off of it with one arm. She concludes her video with a back flip off of the bar. Dean appears perplexed at the video as Alexa questions the amount of tattoos that Rachel now had on her arms.
