A series of misunderstandings and busy schedules keep Lexi and Josh from meeting up for a date. Meantime, Emily and Hannah are pressing Lexi about this new relationship and are upset that they have never met Josh in person. Corey continues to keep Lexi's secret but gets angry when Lexi considers skipping a practice to meet Josh at her house after school. A surprise encounter occurs as all is not what it appears when they encounter a rival team. The "Firestorms" have a surprise for Lexi. The beautiful and popular Ashlynn and her 'blondterage' teammates (played by real all-star cheerleaders, Maison Baker, Jamie Andries, Peyton Manning, Carley Browning and Jennifer Burke) run into the Tri-City cheerleaders at an after-school hangout leading to a discovery that leaves Lexi heartbroken.
After a week of texting back and forth, Lexi is finally ready to meet Josh, and a date is set. Lexi asks Corey to keep her secret in that she has never met Josh in person. Corey expresses his concern for her safety of meeting people over the internet. At practice Hannah and Emily can't help but notice that Emily is always on her phone, and they confront her about her mysterious new friend. Lexi reluctantly reveals her 'relationship' with Josh, but decides not to tell the entire truth. Meanwhile, Josh does something that both disappoints and surprises Lexi.
