While they are there, everyone plays spin the bottle, though Audrey is reluctant when Dylan spins on her. Mason refuses to let Audrey kiss him, though Dylan overpowers him, and Audrey kisses Dylan. Mason is upset and Colton tries to stay out of it. Mason and Audrey get into an argument about it, Audrey trying to say it was just a game. Returning to the party, Dylan reveals that his parents tried to hide several packs of beer, but he found them. Mason gets roped into having a drink, which turns into a whole can, which turns into three. Audrey gets him to stop by kissing him, and Colton realizes it is 10:15 and they have to go. However, Mason reveals he was invited to stay over with a few other people. Audrey and Colton agree, but make him promise no alcohol. However, as soon as they leave, Mason takes more.
