After Katie steps on stage she hears Vanessa talking to another girl, who auditioned for Juliet too, and referring to Katie as "Cancer girl" and asking why they'd even audition.

At home, Lucas is checking his hair and Alexa asks if mom or dad is home and Lucas answers no. He then says "I'm here". Alexa groans and told him about Katie's audition and worries that she only got the part because people think Katie has cancer. Alexa then tells Lucas about her dilemma, this confuses Lucas and tells her mom will be home. Alexa tells herself to listen to Katie and she's going to be fine.

Katie tells Jennifer that she got the part and rehearsals starts the following day. Jennifer realizes she has to find a babysitter again. Lori enters the house to congratulate Katie.
