Main Plot[]
The hockey team isn't letting Campbell forget that his past few games haven't gone well, but Campbell feels like he's in the zone. The Ice Hounds are close to winning, but Campbell tries to finish the game on his own and ends up letting the other team win. Maya, Tristan and Tori think that Campbell needs a break from hockey and invite him to karaoke night at Little Miss Steaks, but he has practice and can't miss it. Campbell is Skyping with his mom and tells her that he's homesick and feeling badly about hockey. He can't seem to play well and doesn't know what's wrong with him. Campbell's mom tells him to stay positive and stay away from dairy, which always makes him sick. Campbell gets to practice and overhears the rest of the team making fun of him. Dreading another night on the ice, Campbell drinks an entire jug of milk and makes himself throw up in the change room, ensuring he can get out of practice. Cam tells his team that he has the flu, but heads straight for Little Miss Steaks instead of home. Cam tells Maya that practice was cancelled and Maya is excited to have a singing partner. Cam is terrified, but Maya gets him to open up and the two have a great time. Unfortunately, someone videotapes their performance and the Ice Hounds see it. The coach skated the team hard for a hour and now they are going to make sure Campbell gets the same punishment. The team watch as Campbell practically skates himself to death. When they finally decide he's had enough, Campbell collapses on the ice. Dallas tells Campbell to think clearly next time before he bails on the team, saying they're all he has. Finally alone in the change room, Campbell has another breakdown. He throws his skate across the room, accidentally slicing open his hand in the process. Cam sits in silence, seemingly realizing he enjoys the physical pain the cut has caused.

K.C. is having pizza at the mall with his dad and things aren't going as badly as K.C. thought they would. His dad Kevin is determined to get a job and K.C. agrees to help him with his resume. Kevin also commends K.C. for giving up Ty and doing what's right for his son. K.C. tries helping his dad with his resume and the two talk about K.C.'s plans to go to University. He's hoping to head across the country to British Columbia and Kevin promises to take care of Lisa after K.C. leaves. The next day, K.C. gets a text from his mom telling him to rush home right after academic practice. K.C. comes home to find that his dad got a job washing dishes at a family restaurant and K.C. agrees to give his dad a second chance. But this family moment is quickly ruined when K.C.'s parents toast with wine after his mom promised him no drugs or alcohol after jail.
