Main Plot
The episode opens with Fiona and Bobby preparing to present the new uniforms she designed for Vanderbilt Prep. However, Bobby notices Fiona's black eye. He asks if he did that to her, but Fiona shrugs it off. They show her uniform and school crest designs, and someone disapproves of her new crest. Bobby defends her. Later on, the Coynes make a congratulatory toast. Fiona excuses herself, and catches Bobby and Tinsley making out.
The next day, Fiona pretends to be sick, staying home from school. Bobby comes over, and Fiona tells him she saw he and Tinsley. He denies it. Later on, Mrs. Coyne tells Fiona that they're going to dinner with the Beckonridges. Fiona tells her she's still sick, and is given the gift that Bobby left her - a snow globe from Aspen. Declan tries to convince her to come, telling her not to start drama. After he leaves, Fiona throws her snow globe in frustration, watching it smash into pieces.
Later that night, Fiona skypes Holly J. and tries to tell her that things are bad between her and Bobby. Holly J. tells her that she should break up with him if she's unhappy. Fiona confronts him again about Tinsley, and tries to break up with him. He tells her that nothing happened with Tinsley, and she sees a text from Tinsley and runs off upset. Bobby follows her, pinning her against a wall. She manages to get away, running up the steps with Bobby following. He grabs her and pulls her down the stairs, giving her bruises on her legs. Fiona tells him that she wants to break up, but Bobby says that she doesn't.
Sub Plot
Holly J. asks Anya to pretend she is pregnant with Sav's baby until elections are over. Anya agrees, and when Sav asks Anya if it's true, and she says it is. Telling him that she doesn't need his help, she makes him leave. After school, Sav is at home trying to tell his mom about Anya and the baby. His mom won't listen to him because she is too excited about him running for president. Sav tries to tell her he's not going to run anymore, but she convinces him to keep running. Sav switches out of his music class and into Anya's art class in order to be there for her. Anya is surprised at how supportive he's being. Sav tells her that he wants her to be there when he tells his parents, and that he wants to be together. Anya texts Holly J., telling her she can't do it anymore. Later, Sav tells Anya that he wants to make things work this time. Especially since she's pregnant. Anya changes her mind about not wanting to do it anymore, and tells Holly J. she'll keep up the ruse and she'll just fake a miscarriage.
At school, Sav is hanging up his campaign posters. Holly J. tells him that he'll be too busy to be the president since Anya is pregnant. But, he says he's still running with her support. Anya comes up wearing a "One Of Us" campaign shirt, and says she's on his side now.
