The losing team of Los Angeles Star Tech trudges back into the hotel moaning and grumbling about how their supposed leadership has let them down. Connor glares are the dissenters and makes his way to his room by himself surrounded by an air of injured silence. Zeak turns to his teammates and gives them a withering stare because they are questioning his leadership as well. He flops himself down in a chair in the lobby to nurse his many wounds from the brutal game of slamball. The rest of the team goes to their rooms talking about the loss and wondering if Shaylee is going to be fine. Pretty soon the jubilant Hollywood Arts squad arrives laughing and talking and carrying on while Zeak looks on in disgust. Trina flings herself down on the chair opposite of Zeak and flips her younger sister off as the rest of the team heads up stairs. She looks at Zeak who is holding his ribs and says, "Rough game today huh?" Zeak winces as he tries to respond because his ribs are incredibly painful. Trina makes her way over to him and grabs a bag of ice off a passing concierge's tray. "Keep walking douche bag," Trina snaps at the small and meek hotel worker as he runs into the front desk trying to get away from the snarling Latina teen. She doesn't say a word but applies the ice pack to his ribs and as he jumps in surprise Zeak's lips crash into hers. They are startled but continue kissing as the rest of the lobby watches them.
Andre gets out of the shower and punches the mirror in his bathroom as his thoughts wander back to the mess he made the night before. He looks at the blood running down his hand and pooling on the white sink. He hears a knock at the door and wraps his hand in a hand towel as he wraps a larger one around the lower half of his body. He flings the door open in disgust to find Lilliana standing there with a surprised look on her face. He tries to slam the door in her face but she wedges her foot in between the door and the door frame. He turns away in disgust and goes to the chair in his room and sits down on it and says, "Since you barged into my room will you at least go into the bathroom as I get changed into something other than a towel." Lil is grateful for the opportunity to speak with Andre again so gladly goes into the bathroom and shuts the door. She hears a lot of stuff being thrown around but then everything goes silent. She slowly opens up the door and looks around to only find an empty room in front of her. The door is violently kicked shut as Lil barges off to try and find her erstwhile Romeo.
Teresa and Robbie are in Robbie's room and open the door to see Andre run past followed a few minutes later by an angry looking Lilliana. They duck back into the room so they don't feel the wrath and Teresa collapses into Robbie who catches her before she hits the floor. He spins her around to make sure that she is ok and she is just smiling at him. In response to her knowing smirk he unceremoniously dumps her onto the bed and smirks back at her. She starts breathing heavily and Robbie is about to climb on top of her to kiss her when there is a knock at the door. Robbie groans audibly as he straightens his clothes out and answers the door to find Lilliana standing there with a questioning look on her face. He groans again and slams the door in her face, but when he turns around Teresa is sitting up on the bed looking at him questioningly. Robbie only shrugs his shoulders and goes and sits back down beside his lady friend. "I swear there is nothing going on with her" Robbie says as a way of half apologizing to Teresa. "Prove it," she says looking at him, "I am really in need of a backrub after that extremely intense challenge today." She turns around and moves her hair out of the way so he can massage her shoulders. He gingerly touches her shoulders and begins to rub her down focusing on the knots. Suddenly he stops and takes off running leaving a confused and bewildered Teresa behind.
Robbie runs straight into Beck who is having a conversation with Meg. He says excitedly, "I was just massaging a girl's back! It was one of the single best experiences of my life!"
Beck laughs and says, "Then what happened, dude?" Robbie stops celebrating as a sick look over takes his face. Beck starts laughing uncontrollably and says through the gales of laughter, "You came out here to tell someone and just stopped giving the massage. I'm sorry dude but you have to be one of the stupidest people around. She likes you man and you may have blown it." Robbie grabs his head in his hands and sinks down to the floor as a blubbering mess just like he was when those two guys stole his car. Beck is laughing as he turns around Meg is staring at him with an unreadable look on her face. He spreads his hands and asks, "What in the world is that look for?"
"Really Beck Oliver? Really? You are huge fucking asshole. He was so excited about finally getting a girl to like him but you had to shoot him down. I was wrong about you, I thought you were different but you are just like every other guy I have ever seen." With that Meg leaves a stunned and hurt Beck behind. Beck thinks to himself as he watches her flee his presence that he is always trying to help Robbie and he is tired of his help never making a damn bit of difference. He sees the afro-haired teen still sitting on the ground and Beck gives him a swift kick to the back fro running what should have been a fun night.
