In U Don’t Know (1) Adam and Dave have Katie on Degrassi Radio as a special guest. Katie talks about the prom fundraiser fashion show that is being held at Degrassi and invites Adam to join. Adam, who is convinced by Dave that Katie was flirting with him, approaches Katie - who was put in charge of the fundraiser due to Holly J.'s health problems - while she is setting up for the runway. Adam signs up for the fashion show and asks her if he can be her escort, and to his surprise, her answer is positive.
Adam, who is not used to girls flirting with him, asks Katie if she knows that he is trans. After telling him she sees him as one of the guys, her answer remains positive. At the show, Katie and Adam are both very nervous, but once the show ends, they are relieved and decide to make plans for the following day. Adam, who finds himself in an unfamiliar territory, asks Marisol if she knows if Katie likes him, but to his dismay, she answers that with his current body, there isn't much of a chance that Katie is into him.

He tells her that he's going to be making changes to his body soon. The next day, Adam goes over to Katie at her locker, telling her that he had fun going to the book signing the day before.
