Adam develops a crush on Bianca during a ballroom dancing lesson in recreational gym class. When the two begin to flirt with each other, Bianca discovers Adam's concealed breasts while playfully pushing him on the chest. Perturbed, Bianca concludes that he is a transboy and outs him to Fitz and Owen, who react unhappyly. Adam's transgender status is revealed earlier in the episode when he is seen binding his breasts and again when he comes out to Eli and Clare after Clare sees him drop tampons from his locker. Adam's mother pressures him to dress up as "Gracie" (Adam's birth name) for his grandmother's impending visit. Leia leads Anya on to think Anya's mom is having an affair, but her mom tells her that it is worse. Dave tries to get Miss Oh to laugh at his jokes but she will not budge.
