Plot


A handsome classmate named Ryder Daniels asks Tori to sing a duet with him at the Full Moon Jam but Tori is hesitant to agree to it because of his bad reputation and has trouble trusting him. Tori upsets Ryder at the house after looking through his text messages and begs him to give her another chance and also agrees to do a duet with him. She soon learns that he is just using her to get a good grade and asks André to help make her a song so Ryder will fail and she can expose him. Also, Cat got a new phone and phone number and keeps receiving calls from an emergency line, NorthStar. Robbie tries to change his image so he'll be able to pick up girls.
