If Kate falls into the same patter, Rachel doesn't have to pay her back. Thinking the bet will be easy, Kate hastily agrees. Unfortunately, the boy Rachel chooses for her to not fall in love with in the perfect, and rebellious, Matt Abbott. Kate soon comes to discover that you can't always control how you feel, and maybe you have to fall for someone, not just pick them and then decide to fall for them.
