While looking for inspiration for their next song in town, Holly and Justin have a strange interaction with Farmer Dodge. When Justin starts acting different, Holly brings up what happened with her family. Heather helps Holly realize that what she witnessed was Farmer Dodge racially profiling Justin. Dodge assumed Holly was in trouble just because Justin is Black. After hearing from Amy and Savannah that they too have experienced racism in Collinsville, Holly becomes determined to seek justice on Justin’s behalf. After confronting Farmer Dodge, Holly tries to convince Justin to join her in a protest and help write a song about what happened - but Justin wants nothing to do with it. Confused, Holly turns to Amy who helps Holly learn that what matters most is doing what Justin wants, not what Holly wants. Holly decides to respect Justin’s wishes, and on her own starts educating herself and her family on racial inequality.
