After a turn in her relationship with Phoebe, Sara is in a funk and can't stop feeling sad. As a distraction, her new friends decide the best way to cheer her up is to take her to a rave. The idea of going to the rave is the first thing that's made Sara look excited in a month, so Tegan feels obligated to go as well, despite her fears that they'll get in trouble.

As Tegan and Sara begin writing songs together, they start to bond and grow closer in a way they haven't been all year. This complicates Tegan's relationship with Maya, as Tegan chooses to spend more time with Sara than with her.
