Meanwhile, Dylan's social awkwardness means he is spending more and more time on his computer locked away in his room. When Emma finds herself the unwanted attention of the school jock Michael, his ex-girlfriend Kate uses any means available to put the new girl in her place. The entire situation takes a turn towards the sinister as their online worlds collide with their lives in a way over which they ultimately have no control and which threatens to have the most disastrous consequences.
