SlipDog competes in a ""battle of the bands."" The only group the musicians are worried about losing to is headed by a former SlipDog guitarist named Dominic, who they call Dom and who also quit when Jace refused to get rid of Joe. Although he was dating Joe at the time, Dom thought she was an awful bassist. When Joe starts dating Dom again, she reveals the name of the song that SlipDog is going to play. Dom's band then plays that song in the contest arguing that he helped Jace write that song and forcing SlipDog to play something Joe may not be ready to play.
