Plot[]
Part 1[]
Bruce wants to use an after school room, but Janie and the Studs have already booked it. Bruce decides to wait till they're done, choosing to watch them perform instead of leaving. Peter, Sav, Danny, and Spinner enter the room heckling Danny about Chantay, telling him to spill. Peter says that he has been in enough secret relationships to know when to spot one, and Sav says, "Yeah, with Darcy", though Peter was also in a secret relationship with Emma. However, Danny swears that nothing is happening. The band begins to perform their song "Good Times", and Dave walks into the room. An angry-looking Anya storms in, and Bruce comments that it should be good, causing Dave to question Bruce about why he is talking to himself. Bruce tells him to pull up a chair upon recognizing him, and Sav stops playing the song, causing all the others to stop as Anya approaches. He greets her as "Pookie Bear", but Anya yells at him that he made a huge mistake and at Jane, saying she knows what she did.
Part 2[]
Anya yells at Sav, and Sav asks if he could know what he did. Bruce comments to Dave that Anya gets really mad, and Sav flips his hair around while trying to determine how much trouble he is in. Sav tells her that she can't come barging into practice, saying it is embarrassing. She yells that he helped hook Holly J. and Declan up, which ruined her English project, as they can't stop making out. Dave and Bruce watch in amusement while eating popcorn. Jane asks how bad it can really be, and Anya confronts her, saying she encourages their behavior since she is Holly J.'s friend. Bruce reveals to Dave that everything at the school happens to this band, their friends, and their stupid colored jeans. Anya tells her to "Ease off, cleavage", causing Spinner to say that only he can notice the boobs while pushing Peter away. Dave and Bruce get excited for what is coming next, and Anya asks Sav if she could work with him on the project, which causes him to smile. Jane tries to start playing the song again, and Sav tells Anya they could talk about it after practice. Anya's mouth drops open at the fact she was put off, and she walks out angrily. The band begins playing again, but Sav stops once again to chase after her, saying he should fix this. Spinner comments that maybe they should finish a song for once. Peter comments about Sav that he was going to cough, "Whipped!" into his hand, but there really wasn't a point anymore. Chantay appears in the room, and Danny is happy to see her, unplugging his guitar to go see her. She says that she thought she would find him here, and he tells her that she thought right.
Part 3[]
Chantay tells Danny that she thought she'd come say hi since group communication broke down on her project. Peter calls them hopeless, but Danny remarks that he doesn't get an opinion because he isn't even supposed to be playing with the band. Bruce comments that Chantay is hot, and he doesn't understand why she is always in the background. Dave looks at him and says that she is his cousin, while Holly J. and Declan walk into the room. Jane greets them, and Bruce says that "The Queen and King" have arrived. Jane says to the two if they have come to bother someone they are dating, will date, or have dated, then to please move along, and Holly J. is surprised Jane is giving up an audience, as she likes to perform. Declan comments, "Oh, you noticed, too?", referring to his affair with Jane earlier in the season, which earns him a look from Jane that does not go unnoticed by Bruce and Dave. Anya sarcastically thanks Sav for telling her that it was a party now since there were so many people, and Spinner asks her why he would since she just yelled at him.
Jane tries to get the band to rehearse, and Spinner suggests they have a make out party, saying maybe they could all do with some romance. Jane comments that she didn't realize they all needed therapy, and Bruce gets up and goes over to her, saying it is now time for his move. He hits on her, but she shoots him down. Dave says she is cold, but Bruce defends her, saying she is mysterious. He then thinks of a way to win her over, which he plans to tell Dave.
Part 4[]
Bruce talks to the group, saying they have connections. He says that Peter has been with Emma, Darcy Edwards, and Mia Jones. Anya has been with Sav and Riley Stavros. Spinner has been with Manny Santos, Darcy, Paige Michalchuk, and Jane. Bruce says that Jane has only been with Spinner, so she feels lonely since everyone has been getting busy with more than one person. He suggests that if he and Jane have a hot affair, then she'll feel much better. The group is silent, and Spinner finally speaks, asking if Bruce is really proposing that he lends him his girlfriend. Jane returns to the room, and Bruce tells her they were just talking about him. Jane asks how worried should she be, and Dave advises her to run. Holly J. directly speaks to Jane, saying that Bruce thinks the reason Jane was so upset earlier was because she needs a new love interest. Bruce recalls that she has only been with one guy, which is why she is so bitter, saying that they should get it on. Jane yells at Bruce, telling him she was bitter that the band needs to rehearse that song and then Spinner breaks Bruce. Jane tells him it is never happening between them, but Holly J. compliments Bruce on knowing so much about them, despite it being creepy. She tells everyone to regroup in five minutes, and Declan approaches Jane, saying it is good that Bruce isn't "so on the ball" that he knows about their affair. Jane says that he will never know and asks why he cares since he is with Holly J. They agree to leave the details to history and walk away. However, little to their knowledge, Bruce did hear them, and he smiles deviously.
