Alex gives Tariq a crash course on punk rock and alternative rock from The Sex Pistols to the Replacements to Nirvana to traditional emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and then newer emo bands like Paramore and My Chemical Romance.
Tariq then asks out Jane and she surprisingly says yes after he quotes a punk rock song.
They go to a vegan restaurant when Tariq learns that she is vegan and Jane asks Tariq about The Smiths and The Strokes and Tariq asks to go to the bathroom and he calls Alex about the Strokes and The Smiths and he mentions Well I Wonder and The Modern Age. Tariq then says that. The date goes relatively well.
Tariq then the next day tells Alex that she’s a vegan and Alex is suprised. Tariq gets a text from Jane for the next date and it ends up being an animal rights protest. Tariq the night before the date eats all the burgers he can find from all the fast food places.
They meet at the animal rights protest and Jane introduces him to her best friend Annabelle (Kara Hayward) who goes to a different school who is a die hard vegan and they give him a sign saying meat is horrible and Alex and his fellow band members see this going on and laugh.
Alex and Tariq are at a local burger joint and laugh about the date and Tariq is conflicted if he should continue this relationship and Alex says he should just see how it works out.

When they get home Tariq and his mom have an argument about her and Tariq defends her and his mom thinks she’s abusive.
Tariq goes over to Janes house and it is revealed she came up with a device to stop him from eating meat which every time he eats meat she is alerted. She buys
chicken nuggets and it surely works.
The next day Tariq and Alex go to eat at a restaurant and Tariq orders a macaroni and cheese and Alex is confused and Tariq explains that when he eats meat it sends an alert to Jane. Tariq starts getting sad and in his mind he starts singing I Dreamed A Dream.
Tariq then goes on a vegan dinner with Jane and it turns into a big argument and they both go home.
Alex and Tariq are driving around one night and go to a McDonald's and see Jane at the McDonald's and see Jane eating a McDonald's burger and at first she says it’s vegan and then a McDonald's employee falls her on her bullshit and the entire McDonald's gangs up on her and there is a musical number and the whole McDonald's start singing God Bless the Hamburger and Tariq finally breaks up with her.
