Max tries to figure out how his company's video game technology got hacked, so Naomi and Alec work together to demo the video game at annual Phenomi-Con in Santa Barbara despite both of them not trusting each other and both of them equally unaware that Colin is the real culprit behind the hacking. When everyone finds out that it was Colin all along, Annie is upset about choosing the wrong guy yet again but happy at the prospect of starting something with Riley. Meanwhile, Taylor feels guilty for hooking up with Adrianna, so he tells her to end things with Dixon if she wants to be with him. But before Adrianna can do so, Dixon collapses due to a spinal infection, and Adrianna learns that he stopped taking his pain medication because he was afraid to become addicted to drugs again. Liam and Lindsey keep their relationship under wraps, but when Navid's jealous streak gets the best of him, he arranges for Liam and Lindsey's sex tape to be shown in place of a sneak peek of Liam's new movie at Phenomi-Com that ends their relationship and Lindsey's teaching career. When Liam and Silver realize Navid leaked it, they both cut ties with him for good.

Annie and Riley's relationship suffers when Riley gets upset at the fact that Annie doesn't treat him like her other boyfriends just because he is in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, Adrianna finds out that she is performing at the Hollywood Bowl and thinks Dixon is going to propose to her after reading a text message on his phone. She then contemplates revealing that she cheated on him, but she doesn't when Dixon gives her a pair of beautiful diamond earrings and wants her to sign to his future record label. Naomi grows jealous when the replacement for Max's business partner is a hot young woman named Bryce and decides that she should be his partner instead. Silver is upset at the fact she still isn't pregnant and discovers that she may need surgery. Liam goes crazy after punching a paparazzi and getting arrested. His studio sends him a bodyguard, a female cop named Ashley Howard, but she later turns out to be an obsessed psychopath when she gets a picture of Liam tattooed on her back.
