Plot A
After a relaxing summer vacation, Colton, Audrey, and Mason decide to make a plan to become the freshman kings and queen at Milwaukie High.

Eventually, the three manage to come up with spending three minutes together during passing time and ditch their plan to be the kings and queen.

Plot B
Hunter begins film school near Portland, allowing him to stay at the McCarville house until his already-bought apartment is ready for him. Hunter and Julianne continue their relationship in secret, having told nobody. Hunter is automatically stressed about his classes and goes to Julianne for advice. However, in the process, Hunter accidentally reveals his relationship to Michael, with Hunter and Julianne making him promise not to tell Ann for now, as they don't want her to be getting into Hunter's life like she has before.
