Synopsis
When a storm traps Star at Tom's family lake house, she turns it into a fun excursion.
Plot
Star is hanging out with the Lucitors at their beach house. After surfing with Tom, Star announces her plans to help out Marco at the Diaz House for dinner. Everything seems fine until it suddenly begins to rain (which in the underworld is made of fire). Due to how dangerous the weather can be for her, Star is told to wait inside with the rest of the family until it passes. The family begin playing Drabble (the Underworld version of Scrabble) to pass the time. After Relicor joins in to play, Wrathmelior, Tom's mother, leaves to go into the kitchen and make demonade. Feeling that something is off, Star decides to join her.
In the kitchen, Star tries to bond with Wrathmelior, who seems distant and awkward with her. After Star tries to give her a high five, she "leaves [her] hanging", worrying her. She brings this up with Tom who tells her not to think about it. They begin to look at family photos to everyone's delight, but when they begin showing photos of Tom and Star, Wrathmelior noticeably becomes bothered and upset. Tom comes out to Star and reveals that he is aware of the kiss she had with Marco and that even though it bothered him, he was not upset about it. He adds that he told his mother and that she is just worried that she will somehow hurt him again.
Angered over not being told, Star tries to leave, but when Tom goes out to stop her a wave washes him out. Star rescues him and Wrathmelior rushes out to embrace him. The storm suddenly clears up and Tom realizes that it was caused by Wrathmelior who has "her own emotional weather system". Tom and Star agree to be more open with each other in the future. As the Lucitors prepare burgers, Star decides to stick around longer with the Lucitors.
