Victor claims he is ready to come out and tell the world he is with Benji on the first day of the new school year.
When he visits Isabel that night, she confesses that she didn’t handle Benji coming over very well, and Armando tells her it’s hard for him too, but he has to wrap his head around it because it’s who his son is and he loves Victor. Adrian doesn’t want to miss his turtle and his dad, so he says they should return her, but Armando gives in and buys another cage. On the way home, Adrian realizes they forgot to buy a second cage for Isabelle’s apartment, and Armando says he only intended for Heather the turtle to stay at his place. Victor’s dad moves out of their current apartment to a new one, and when Adrian comes over and he asks him what would make the apartment more fun, they end up going to the pet store, where Adrian picks out a turtle. Lake tells Mia to come anyway, and Mia heads to pick up Chinese food, runs into Andrew who sent her a care package and note saying he wanted to be with her over the summer, sees he is dating Lucy and then drives the hour to the lake only to get back in her car when she sees Victor and Benji together. When Mia comes home from camp earlier than expected, she calls Lake to hang out and escape her dad Harold and his pregnant fiancée Veronica (Sophia Bush), but Lake and Felix are going to a bonfire at Lake Lainier with Victor and Benji to close out their summer.
