While Sara continues to withdraw from her family, especially her mom, she and Tegan make headway with friends at their new school and are invited to a party. But as Tegan begins to make friends of her own, Sara starts to realize how important Tegan is to her.

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.
