Jake finally gets a shot at presenting his directing project to score a needed scholarship, but accepts instead to help research Paige's paper. The agent Nina arranges treats and promises to help the trio out with career prospects, but Jake finds his script to be recommended in the trash. Rainier accepts a huge pay cut as the studio boss forces Nina to reduce the film budget, but is furious to find Jordan exempt, yet tensions must be hidden during a photo-shoot, including Alexis's petty revenge for Paige's unfortunate dumb prank. Juggling college and stardom still doesn't work for Paige, yet she comes to a deal with Nina.
