After being dumped, Karilynn comes home to find her ex has married her best friend. A series of humorous misunderstandings lead people to believe she and Patrick are dating, though he is more focused on his studies. When Karilynn and Nick accidentally attend a dance together, Patrick begins to question his feelings for her.
