After a turn in her relationship with Phoebe, Sara is in a funk and can’t stop feeling sad. As a distraction, her new friends decide the best way to cheer her up is to take her to a rave. The idea of going to the rave is the first thing that’s made Sara look excited in a month, so Tegan feels obligated to go as well, despite her fears that they’ll get in trouble.

While stuck at home, grounded, Tegan and Sara discover Patrick's old guitar, and learning to play it becomes their new obsession. Not only does this launch them on their journey as musicians, but their newfound shared love of playing music begins to repair their fractured relationship.

As Tegan tries to repair her friendship with Maya, Sara makes an effort to ensure that Tegan feels included by her and Phoebe by introducing Tegan to Phoebe's friend Cass. Tegan and Sara start performing their songs in front of more and more people, leading to an exciting opportunity and chance for them to take their journey as musicians to the next level.
