Liberty is revealed to be romantically interested in J. T., who does not like her back. After she takes the blame for him during class, her crush becomes obvious to Toby, Manny and Emma. J. T. denies it for a time, but realizes it and tries to act obnoxious to get her to stop liking him. Once this fails to work, he tells her that he is homosexual, which disappoints her but backfires when she asks to do an interview with him and have him come out of the closet and serve as an inspiration for other students struggling with coming to terms with their sexuality. When Emma has her period, J. T. mocks her for coming to class in oversized shorts, not knowing her other clothes were stained. He finds out when she reveals she is having her period to the class.
