Nobody at the hotel has paid any attention to the kids filing through the lobby. They have become used to seeing them limp, faint, and generally appear exhausted by now. The Hollywood Arts team trudge through the lobby with low spirits and a bad attitude. This is exemplified by someone offering them a drink and Jade pushing the offender backwards into a luggage cart. Ryan peels off from the group and takes a detour to the hotel gym so he can be alone with his thoughts.
About ten minutes after the Hollywood Arts team comes in the Los Angeles Star Tech arrives in a decidedly more upbeat mood. Connor is the recipient of most of the goodwill because of his insistence that Sinjin finish caused the team to win. Everybody except for Slayter is happy. Her ankle is wrapped in an ACE wrap and has been plunged into a five gallon bucket of ice. Everybody else runs off of the bus leaving her to crutch off the bus. SHe stumbles when she gets onto the curb and is about to fall flat on her face when all of a sudden two strong hands grab her and set her upright. Sinjin smiles at her and takes her crutches from her and carries her inside. Lilliana is on the third floor and notices this and slaps the glass in disgust. "Why can't that be me?" she says as she stalks off down the hall.
The sound echoes down the large corridor to where Andre is sitting with ice packs strapped to his knees. His eyes go large because he realizes that the slapping sound means Lil is on the hunt for him again. He leans his head back and closes his eyes and comes to the conclusion that sooner or later he will have to make a decision. He hopes that she doesn't harm him whatever his decision is. He hobbles into the staff stairwell to hide from Lilliana and think about his decision and about how not to make a fool out of himself anymore.
Cat is with Kendall and they are talking about various family issues. They are laughing and having a good time when Meg runs into the room looking for Beck. Neither Cat nor Kendall has seen him in a while. Meg runs off to tell Beck some good news she just found out. Cat says, "So like I was saying my brother got into a fight with a badger because the badger stole his ice cream."
Kendall looks at her with raised eyebrows, "Why do you always talk about your brother? Why can't we ever talk about something more important."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Cat asks with tears coming to her eyes. Kendall stutters trying to talk to the red haired girl and calm her down. "You know what Kendall? You are just like every other guy." Cat runs sobbing from his presence.
Cat runs by Robbie who is frantically trying to plead with Teresa. "I swear I didn't mean to run away from you."
"Yeah but you still did when we were supposed to be sharing our first kiss."
"I know but can you give me a second chance? Robbie pleads as he falls on his knees.
"This is pathetic Robbie. I gave you one chance and you blew it, now get out of my face and leave me alone." Teresa walks away from him leaving the curly haired boy with his head bowed in defeat.
