## Full Summary

Frude welcomes the dorm residents to the meeting and tells them tomorrow starts pre-frosh weekend. Newly-accepted students will be visiting to get their first taste of college life. Kimberly recalls her pre-frosh weekend fondly. Frude says anyone hosting students needs to be responsible with them. Bela says they are hosting one, her friend, Priya. She sends everyone a picture of Priya, whom she describes as a sweet Indian nerd. Leighton tells Bela not to send photos like that. Bela tells everyone to be nice to Priya. She always looked up to Bela.

Leighton tells her roommates that her dad is bringing her cousin to pre-frosh weekend and she's planning to come out to him while he's there. She's ready and it's time. She's sick of keeping it a secret. Whitney also has a secret and tells them she had sex with Andrew. They're all shocked. Whitney is insistent that it's a one-time thing. There's a knock at the door and Bela gets up to let Priya in. She's shocked at Priya's glow-up.

Bela's excited that Priya got into Essex. She shows Priya the library and tells an embarrassing story about Priya getting a juvenile hunchback. Kimberly says she'll love Essex. Priya is excited to be there. It's her first night ever away from home. Bela remembers that she wasn't allowed to do anything. They had to have all their sleepovers at Priya's house. Bela tells another embarrassing story about Priya and Priya says she doesn't need to tell her friends that story. Priya leaves to look inside the library. Leighton and Whitney think Priya is cool, which surprises Bela.

At Sips, Lila tells Kimberly that Jackson is entering. Jackson orders a coffee Kimberly-style, which he says means extra hot. He's really just there to say hi before class. He kisses Kimberly and leaves. Lila comments on how Kimberly loves really hot guys and Canaan agrees. Kimberly tries to deny it, but they challenge her to say one thing she has in common with Jackson. She's unable to come up with a good answer, but says she'll find something out.

Henry talks about how much he loves the campus. Then he says he and Mimi are going through a hard time between Nico being expelled and Mimi's charity being investigated by the D.A. She could be in a lot of trouble and he's not going down for that. Plus her hair transplant didn't take. Leighton says that's a lot. That's why Henry is happy to be there. He asks what's happening with Leighton and she says nothing.

Whitney tells Andrew they need to talk about the other day. He says they shouldn't hook up again because it's not worth it to him. He did the math and he's less efficient when she's around. She's very distracting. He looks at her and they start kissing.

Bela and Priya are having lunch when Graham comes to their table to talk to Priya. He is shocked when he hits Bela with his bag because he didn't see that there was another person there. He invites Priya to a party in the woods. Priya says it sounds fun and asks if Bela can home. He says sure, if it means Priya will be there. Bela says they already have plans. The dorm is hosting a floor party. Priya tells Graham she's sorry.

Bela tells Kimberly and Leighton they're throwing a party tonight and it has to be good. Kimberly already has plans to finish her vision board. Bela says they have to throw a party to show Priya she's cool. Priya doesn't look up to her anymore like she used to. It made her feel good about herself and she doesn't want to lose that. Bela starts planning the details of the party. She wants Leighton's dad to buy them good alcohol, but he's in a bad place, so she didn't end up coming out to him. Bela wants to tell Priya that Leighton's gay because she thinks Priya will like that. Kimberly spots Jackson walking past and jumps up.

Kimberly asks Jackson what he's listening to and he says it's his workout mix. They have very different tastes, but she agrees to join him to watch wrestling.

Whitney runs into Willow and Jayla. Andrew walks past and gestures to Whitney. Jayla asks who he is and they realize she hooked up with him again. She says it keeps happening. They watch as Andrew yells at a scooter rider for being on the sidewalk. They suggest not being alone with him to avoid hooking up again. Whitney finds working with him helpful, so they tell her to keep it in public.

Henry and Leighton discuss his parking in the fire lane as they enter a restaurant. They run into George and Tatum. George and Henry are old friends. Leighton awkwardly says that she and Tatum are friends as well. George warns Henry that the restaurant is packed and Henry offers to add George and Tatum to their reservation. Leighton holds Tatum back and explains that she's not out to her dad. Tatum is fine with that, which surprises Leighton.

Andrew complains about the library being cold, but offers Whitney his hoodie when he sees that she has goosebumps. She likes how quiet the library is.

Andrew and Whitney have sex up against the stacks. They're interrupted by Canaan, who quickly grabs a book and leaves. Whitney tells Andrew to pull his pants up.

Bela's impressed with the party she's thrown. She tells Lila she conned a graduate student into buying them alcohol. Priya texted and said she'd try to be there soon. Lila, Travis, and Kimberly realize Priya is blowing Bela off. Bela doesn't believe that. Jocelyn comes in and asks if they're going to the party in the woods. Priya just texted her from there. Bela is shocked and decides to go out to the woods. Kimberly and Lila follow her out.

Henry tells the table about George's history as a prankster. Leighton tries to get out of the dinner early, saying she has homework. George says Tatum should find a girl like Leighton. Henry is delighted that they can talk about dating because Leighton never tells him anything about who she's dating. Leighton tells her dad she's gay and dating Tatum. Henry says that's good and then excuses himself from the table.

Bela, Kimberly, and Lila find the party in the woods, which is way better than Bela's. Bela drags Priya away and tells her she's upset that Priya bailed on the party she threw. Priya didn't ask her to do that. Bela says she's changed. Priya apologizes, but says she wants to establish her own identity and Bela keeps telling stories about her past, embarrassing stories. She thought Bela would understand the need to re-invent herself. Bela gets it. She's just worried Priya will leave her behind. Priya says that's not true. She's always looked up to Bela. They hug and Bela leaves to go back to the party. Priya promises she'll come there, but she has to make out with Graham first. As they leave, Kimberly worries about the fire safety at the party.

Leighton finds Henry outside and asks if he's okay. He says he is. Leighton feels bad for adding more stress to his life. He tells her not to apologize. That's not why he left. He loves her and he was just shocked. He doesn't know what it says about him that he didn't see this coming. Leighton says he was really good at being closeted. Henry asks if that's a good thing and Leighton admits that it probably isn't. Henry asks if she's happy and she says in terms of who she is and her sexuality, yes. He's happy she told her and proud of her. He also likes Tatum for her. He can see that Leighton really likes her. Leighton still doesn't want to discuss dating with him.

Bela asks Whitney how she did ending things with Andrew. Whitney has to admit she didn't end things and they had sex in the library and were caught by Canaan. Leighton and Tatum join the party and Leighton tells them she came out to her dad. They all celebrate.

Canaan finds Whitney and teases her about walking in on her and Andrew. She tells him it's just a casual thing with Andrew.

Priya comes into the party and Bela asks if she kissed Graham. She says she did, but he was really bad at it. Bela wants to find her someone else, but Priya just wants to hang out with Bela. Lila says in that case, they can find someone for her.

Kimberly pulls Jackson into her room and talks about how they don't have much in common. He says she's right, but he doesn't think that's a problem. She doesn't worry about the same issue with her friends. Plus they can learn new things from each other. He doesn't want to date someone who is just like him. Kimberly agrees, but says she doesn't want to watch wrestling with him because the stories are lazy.

Leighton brings Tatum into her room and they kiss.
