Dwayne and Whitley unexpectedly cross paths on a flight heading back to campus. Whitley notices that Dwayne has evolved over the summer, sporting a stylish suit and exuding confidence from his internship at Kinishewa. When turbulence hits, Dwayne reassures Whitley, leading her to impulsively kiss him in front of her dorm mates, who can't resist teasing her. Though they claim to be just friends, Whitley later visits Dwayne at his apartment, but is put off by his goofy dancing at a party. Meanwhile, the residents of Gilbert Hall grapple with the changes of becoming a coed dorm, with Walter as the director and Jaleesa assisting him.
