Jazz returns from her date and is clearly in a mood. Her mom tries to find out what happened on her date.

She knows that Jazz responds to people who are interested in her social settings by pushing them away. Jazz explains that she gets really insecure about herself in social settings and withdraws.

Next, Jazz's friends come over and spend time with her. Everyone wants to find out about Jazz's date, which annoys Jazz. She feels lost in terms of how she's going to meet someone.

Jazz also feels concerned when she hears her grandfather empathizing with protestors against transgender issues. For instance, her grandfather wonders why transgender people don't use the bathroom for their assigned gender. Jazz doesn't want her grandfather to misrepresent the community.

Jazz also goes out with her friends and talks about finding another consultation for bottom surgery. She feels intimidated when she finds out about her friends all dating. It's hard for her to see people pairing up.

Later, at the advocacy event, Jazz is upset to hear her grandfather discuss her being transgender as a 'handicap." Jazz clashes with her grandfather about this and a few other issues as well during the event.
