Paula Persimmon, who used to direct Riley's favorite childhood dreams, is missing the mark now that Riley is a teenager; desperate for a hit, Paula throws everything she has into her latest dream.
Tasked with helping Riley process her feelings about a school dance, Paula creates a more mature dream that fails; she fires Xen and tries to win her old partner back.
Paula reluctantly rehires Xeni and they tackle a new dream genre, romance, starring Riley's Canadian boyfriend, who's resided in her imagination for years; the rocky partnership between Paula and Xeni sends their production off the rails.
Xeni plots revenge on Paula; he writes a script that inadvertently ends up in production; Paula and Xeni team up to stop the shoot, but their efforts lead to an entirely new dream that just might give Riley the confidence she needs.
