VIN tries to pinpoint his purpose in life, while Layne struggles to perform a physical challenge presented by her presidential rival Jasper.

When Layne's entire locker goes missing, she, Zora and VIN go on a road trip to search for it. Mel goes overboard while trying to repay his "life debt" to Cody.

Layne misses VIN when her parents block her from spending time with him, and she's distracted as the school election day nears.
