As Christmas approaches, Davis signs the majority of his assets to Julien and makes her grandparents legal guardians. Julien's grandmother subsequently arrives and announces that Julien must leave the city to live with her. Zoya befriends Shan, who encourages her to be more rebellious, causing Julien's plan to use Nick to convince her grandmother to let her stay in New York backfire when Zoya is caught in a lie. Aki and Audrey begin their search for a third to join their relationship but struggle to find anyone who compares to Max. Obie's sister, who took Max's virginity, arrives in town and announces that she is engaged which leads a jealous Max to team up with Obie to expose her relationship as a lie. Spurred by Shan, Zoya reconciles with Nick, and they convince Julien's grandmother to let her move in with them.
