EJ becomes fearful about his relationship with Nini because he believes Nini still loves Ricky, her ex. This leads him to steal Nini’s phone, with the help of Gina, who wants Nini’s role as Gabriella in the production. Ashlyn, EJ’s cousin, advised him against this but he did it anyway. Once Nini realizes that her phone is lost, she suspects that Gina took it and, as pay back, she stole Gina’s shoes. Nini shows the shoes to EJ and he realizes that what he has done is wrong and tells Nini she is better than that. He turns to Ashlyn to help him find a way to tell Nini and apologize to her. He then, with Ashlyn’s music, rewrites the lyrics as a means to apologize to Nini.
