After the musical number, Stefan walks in the room asking Sun Hi if she has the time to do an interview. She said she always have time and the interview begins.

Stefan asks her about prom and Corki said they would go if they are going together. Stefan asked what she means. Corki told him that Jared never gave her a promposal. Stefan was shocked and asked that Jared never gave her a promposal. Corki shook her head no. Stefan felt bad for her and Corki starts to realized it does hurt that Jared never asked her. Jared was outside the door overhearing that and asked himself on how he can forget such a thing. He had to do something and fast and runs off. Caleb looks for Jodi carrying a house plant with flowers hoping to ask for her forgiveness. Jared finds Alex and asks advice to put together a promposal. Alex tell him to think big and make her feel special. He thanks Alex for his help and leaves. Sun Hi sees Stefan in a room with the cameraman editing the footage from the interview. He however, messes with what the interviewees say and to create drama. Stefan loves it, but Sun Hi hates it beacuse he edited the part where Sun Hi compliments Linc not trash-talking him and runs off.

Sun Hi tells the girls on what is happening and she wants to do something about it. Corki tells her she can't because they have signed a contract. Sun Hi doesn't care because she is going into the editing room and destroy the footage. Corki and Jodi told her not to do it because it was wrong and it can hurt their chances of winning Band Blast and that they need to rehearse. Jared does his promposal in which he comes in with a squirrel costume throwing nuts. Corki leaves, unimpressed and disappointed. Sun Hi sneaks into the editing room and deletes the edited files. She tried deleting the one in which Linc states that she has some talent but that she has to work for it while he was born with pure natural talent, but Stefan returns so Sun Hi hides in the closet. Corki meets Jared because he has texted her. Jared is confused with the whole grand gesture and promposal thing of him dressed as a squirrel would be romantic. Corki said if he thinks that is the way to her heart he is wrong and maybe he doesn't know her as well as she thought. Corki leaves again, but Jared tries chasing after her. Mr. Stark arrives giving Jared advice on the promposal. What Jared needed was romance and tells him to prompose to Corki in the way she likes and not what he likes. Jodi confronts Heather saying that they need to talk. Heather begs her to let her explain. She tried to explain everything, but Caleb already told Jodi everything. Jodi then asked Heather on why she kissed him. Heather doesn't seem to know why either. And she said probably because she is impulsive. She tells Jodi that she is sorry. She tells Jodi that Caleb cares for her a lot. Jodi forgives her and she leaves to look for Caleb. Sun Hi hears Stefan talking all this drama and Sun Hi comes out of the closet and confronts him. She does not want to be portrayed in a negative light. She claims that the edited footage made it look like she has feelings for Linc. Stefan asked her if she does, but she relents it. Then Stefan reveals an unedited clip in which Linc unconditionally states that he thinks Sun Hi is complicated, beautiful and talented but asking the producers to delete the footage of him saying so. Stefan tells Sun Hi that maybe there is more reality than she thinks. Sun Hi decides to leave the editing to Stefan and they do what they want.

Caleb finds Jodi and apologizes for everything and the way he acted. He tells her the kiss was unexpected and that this whole fight wouldn't have happened if he didn't try to make her jealous. Jodi forgives him, they get back together and celebrate by hugging and Caleb giving her the flowers. Corki arrives at the front desk saying that there was a package for her. Inside was a remote and it told her to press play. Jared appeared on the TV screen near her explain that he knows that she loves music and dancing and told her to turn around and begins his promposal, a dance with the song Where Our Hearts Go, Jared is dancing, in a tux and in the fashion that Corki desired.
