Then, Daryn makes a plan to live a life in a year. Isabelle recognises his potential as a rapper and helps him to make his first demo CD. He decides to let Isabelle meet his parents. His father, not liking Isabelle, uses the moment to fire questions at Isabelle and concludes by saying that it is his responsibility to protect his son from distractions and girls; especially those like Isabelle. Feeling offended and rejected, Isabelle leaves and Daryn is left alone and depressed.

When he is asked of what skills and abilities he has, he loses himself to memories of Isabelle, to his father's disappointment, he ends up saying worthless things and excuses himself.
