Daphne is having a hard time juggling her life at school and work. She also tells Emmett about her situation with her crush. Emmett sees Jeff and remembers him doing the walk of shame out of their place.
Bay gets mad about her parents rummaging through her stuff since the tagging incident at the car wash. John and Katherine thinks that Bay is doing this to cope with her break up with Emmett. She fesses up that she's been doing this way before she met him--two years. Her parents went ballistic and makes her decide for herself, being a person of integrity. It would now depend on her if she still continue her street art, jeopardizing her future in case she gets caught, or stop tagging and find another way to express herself through art.
An open house event is coming up on Carlton. Daphne, with the help of Travis, her friend employed at the car wash, preps for it. Melody tells Daphne about her admirer, Travis. She admits that he only volunteered because he knew Daphne will be there. Daphne tells Melody that she only likes him as a friend and is attracted to someone else. She tells Melody that she might not approve of him though, because he's a hearing guy. Melody tells her that she's now rethinking her position about the dating hearing guys. Daphne unknowingly confides to Melody of her crush, not knowing that they are both attracted to the same person. Melody, tells her that she should let Jeff know of Daphne's feelings toward him.
Jeff finds Daphne taking a break from the kitchen and notices her on her phone, thinking he's texting her boyfriend. She tells him she has no boyfriend and is just checking their competition in the area. At first he thinks she's trying to apply for a new job there but she explains it and she invites him if he would wanna come with her to see what their rival bistro has in store. He says yes, to Daphne's delight.
John, at the carwash, plays Toby's music. Toby hears it and asks John if he could stop playing it and that he feels uncomfortable. Inside his office, as he turns the music off, he notices Travis working extra hard, past his shift. He sends him home, wondering why the sudden boost of energy and work enthusiasm.
John asks Melody, who's at their house, talking to Kathryn about the school event. He asks her about Travis as he seem to never like leaving work and would much rather stay at the carwash. Melody tells them of his story, his past, his family. She tells them that Travis could be lonely considering the fact that no one in his family signs.
At school, Emmett confides to Bay about Daphne's crush and his mom hooking up. He tells her the irony of it all as Melody firmly opposes back then about deaf people dating hearing ones. Bay assumes that Daphne has no idea about Emmett's mom and Chef Jeff hooking up, thus confiding to her on this secret. He says yes and asks for her opinion. Bay tells him that since it's just a crush, it might probably die down soon, so it's best he just keep mum on Daphne about his mother's relationship to Jeff.
Bay asks Emmett if she could borrow his camera so she can take pictures of her job at the bus yard. He asks her if he could come with. Bay refuses and makes it clear to Emmett that things are still the same with them--breakups and heart ache--nothing more and she leaves.
Meanwhile, Daphne and Jeff goes out and they almost kiss. Daphne hesitates, looks away and leaves. Later that night, he has dinner with Melody at Maize. She asks him to come over, but he calls for a rain check as he'll be working late that night.
Daphne tells Bay about what happened and she discourages her from a possible relationship with Jeff. Bay tells Daphne about Melody and Jeff. She confronts Emmett about it the next day. He admits about his mother and Jeff's sexual affair and Melody suddenly comes over clueless. Daphne, with disgust, leaves.
At the open house, Jeff learns from Melody that Daphne studies at Carlton. Daphne sees Jeff and gets jealous. When Melody stepped out, she took the opportunity and talks to Jeff. But before she gets to him, Travis comes over for a quick chat. She comes over to Jeff, Travis in tow, to make him jealous. She was pretty disappointed about his (non) reaction, as well as sending a mixed signal to Travis that he asks her on a date.
Melody notices that there's something wrong with Daphne. She approaches her to ask about it and she replies that Daphne doesn't want her dating her boss. Regina comes over to check in them and Daphne confronts her mom if she's aware of it. Regina says yes, resulting to an angry Daphne. Melody and Regina are puzzled with her reaction. Regina realizes that Daphne is jealous and she tries to avoid the talk by using her non-signing as an excuse and walks out.
Regina, still with no progress with the injured hand and Kathryn thinks of bringing her to John's doctor so she gets well soon as she notice that her injury hinders her from signing, making it hard for her to communicate with Daphne.
Kathryn, thinking that maybe Regina hasn't seen Dr. Fuller is because of financial constraints, approaches Regina to offer her help on money. Regina was pissed and insulted that she orders Kathryn to stop.
Back to Bay, she finds a way (thanks to Toby) to get out and hang with Zarra. They stake out, waiting for "Smak" to come out. While waiting, they talk about their family--or lack thereof, in Zarra's case. Bay finds out that Zarra lives in an abandoned trailer park by the grave yard. Later on, "Smak" comes in and Zarra confronts him. Bay took some photos and Zarra gets into a fight with him and wards him off with a paint scraper.
John and Kathryn worry about Travis and his parents. They discuss about convincing his parents to learn to sign so he won't feel lonely. John approaches Travis and finds out that his parents aren't coming and later notices that he likes Daphne.
After the open house, John offers to drive Travis home, but Travis has other plans. He tells John that he'll take Daphne out to go bowling. John approves and trust him to be a perfect gentleman while he's out with his daughter.
Kathryn bumps into Emmett and everything went awkward. Kathryn, just finding out from Toby (last episode) what happened between Bay and Emmett as well as Toby and Simone, could help but feel indifference towards Emmett. She leaves Emmett alone, with him suspecting that she may have already know the situation.
Daphne leaves Carlton by herself to go back to Maize. She forgets about her date with Travis, having preoccupied with thoughts of Jeff and Melody, and their love triangle. Travis was left at school waiting for her. John sees him and again offers to drive him home. Travis refuses once more and John suddenly had an idea.
Since his own kids won't wanna hang out with him anymore, John finds company with Travis. He invites him to go to the batting cages.
At home, Regina is getting worried and sees Kathryn in their kitchen. She asks her if she may have any idea on when Daphne will be home. The two mothers talk and Regina apologizes to her sudden outburst on Kathryn earlier. She thinks that she's losing touch with Daphne and may have taken her frustration out on Kathryn. Kathryn understands and apologizes as well, thinking she may have over-stepped.
Kathryn confides on Regina about Bay's street painting. Regina was shocked about her child's illegal shenanigans. Bay comes home and walks in on her moms. She admits to them of where she was and what she did earlier that night. She says she's tired of lying and also tells them that she's not gonna stop either, suprising her moms.
Daphne confronts Jeff at the kitchen about what's going on between them. He tells her that the reason why he's avoiding her now is because she's in high school, making it illegal for them to have a relationship. The episode ends with Daphne telling her feelings to Jeff and they kiss.
