Reyna struggles to maintain her relationship with Shantel while remaining open to her attraction to Jack. Shantel is left confused by Reyna's erratic behavior. With her jewelry-making talent on the back-burner, and her mounting feelings of failure in her work supporting LGBTQ Youth, Shantel is forced to face Reyna's despair and decide what kind of life she wants for herself. Shantel's best friend Vanessa encourages her to move on, past the petty drama of her young girlfriend and find meaning her own artistic expressions, and maybe even in a new love. Meanwhile, one of Shantel's youth, Afro-Dominican poet Reggie, struggles to find her own path and discover her own voice. Reggie feels alone and unsure of herself, exploring her talent for poetry and her desire for relationships at the youth group Shantel leads. With the help of a small community of good friends and mentors, both Shantel and Reggie learn lessons they will never forget.

Quotes:

Will Jensen: Shoot for the stars. That's what I say. If you shoot for the stars and you only end up in outer space, at least there you are.

Will Jensen: We're looking for someone a little more dedicated, quite honestly.::Danny Jensen: Someone who's willing to commit.::Will Jensen: Right, and somebody that is willing to walk the path of righteousness with us. We're going to find someone that has some wicked moves...::Danny Jensen: Oh yeah, I mean pipes.::Will Jensen: ...Some bad mother vocal tricks, and some that most importantly, is in touch with the Divine, um, as we are. A black guy would be awsome, right?::Danny Jensen: Yeah!::Will Jensen: There's only like ten black guys in Utah, but we'll find them.

Will Jensen: Eighty percent of all communication is body language. If I were to do this [shrugs shoulders] , that would probably mean to you, "I don't know... I don't know." If I were to touch someone's knee lovingly, it'd probably mean, "I care for you. And you mean a lot to me. Especially your knee." Moving my little finger, even, is something more inconsequent. [Moves finger] "Hello, I'm the little finger. Look at me."

Kirby Laybourne: I'm so excited. I am going to be in a boy band. That's never happened to me before, unless you count Sunshine Generation, but that's a bigger group of kids; it wasn't just like three kids... like we're not really kids. We're men. Um... which is kind of funny. Why is it a boy band? We should be a man band. I'll bring that up with them later.

Will Jensen: Welcome. Don't feel like, you know, you're outsidee of us, even though you are. Just, you know, welcome.

Will Jensen: Number-one item is we believe that boy bands began with the Osmonds and not with the Jackson Five.::Danny Jensen: Number-two: We believe that boy band members will be punished for their ow tardiness by putting a dollar in the tardiness jar. Okay? So bring some cash::Will Jensen: Number-three: We believe in having perfect pitch, being harmonicly tight, and chorreographically precise.::Danny Jensen: Number-four: We believe in the first principals of boy band grooming are: First, keep your hair cut over the ears. Second, stay fashion conscious. Third, never pierce or tattoo anything.::Kirby Laybourne: I woun't do that.::Danny Jensen: Anything.::Kirby Laybourne: I wouldn't.::Danny Jensen: And fourth, moisturize, moisturize, and Will?::Will Jensen: Moisturize!::Danny Jensen: That's right.
