Brad drops by Jasmine's clinic to purchase some medications that he was prescribed, and when he walks out of the clinic, he sees three boys, who seem to be in deep conversation, standing by his car, making him freeze in his tracks.

Just when Brad was about to call the police on his phone, he sees that the boys all look familiar. One of the boys spots Brad, then he tells his friends to look, making Brad see that the three boys were none other than his bandmates. Brad clears his throat before walking to them, a hand in his pocket as he does the walk of shame.

"How did you know I was here?" Brad asks them, then they all pull each other in for a hug. Brad lets the warmth of his best friends get to him, shedding a tear or two so as to not get extremely overwhelmed by the loving gesture. When they pull apart, James clears his throat, seeing as he cried some tears, as well.

"We've actually known for quite a while now. Before you say anything, we're not mad at you for keeping this from us. We just want to understand why you would do so," James says, then Brad nods his head.

"I was planning to tell you, actually, but I didn't want you three to change your opinion of me nor to think that I don't want to share my feelings with you because I don't consider you as my best friends in the world. I needed the professional help. Mac was getting to me and I've been nothing but stressed," Brad says, then his friends all smile at him.

"Honestly, we've been feeling the same toward Mac, but we're proud of you that you actually took the leap to lessen your burden," Tristan says, then Brad smiles.

"We're here not to confront you about this, but because we wanted to talk to you about something else," Connor says, then Brad nods his head.

"Maybe we should talk about it inside? It looks like it is about to rain, anyway," Brad says, then his friends nod their heads. He clicks his car open before they all climb in, then they huddle at the middle.

"Is this work related? Because you do know that there's still a day left before my suspension gets lifted," Brad says, then Tristan nods his head.

"It is, but you have to hear us out," Tristan says, then James takes a deep breath.

"We've been thinking, actually, if we can change our manager for good. After reading our recording contract, we were able to find out that we're allowed to change our management team, but we have to be under the same record label and the new management team has to be approved by the label executives first. If Mac doesn't allow us to do that, we can remind him that we're his clients, not his slaves," James says, making Connor chuckle.

"That's a good one, but maybe just show him the part of the contract where it states that we're not limited to stay with one management team only so he won't get all...mad," Connor says, then Brad nods his head.

"I agree. We have to look for a replacement very soon, though, and I'm not sure if there's anyone willing to take us in," Brad says, then James shrugs.

"Don't worry. We're only planning to inform the label executives about our plan to change our management team for now. Maybe they can help us out in identifying who can be a great replacement in the process," James says, then Tristan looks at Brad.
