Dylan is 5 days away from filming, he has the cast and the script but still has no location or sponsor. He finally meets an interested party who want to help.

With "Hipsterverse" in crisis, Dylan needs to make some bold moves and decides to buy a car. But only a true hipster car will do. Jade is assisting Karolina Turek, one of Vancouver's top photographers. With the strain of "Hipsterverse" problems, Dylan has invited his filmmaker friend Emmett to come up from LA to help. However not everyone in the house takes to Emmett's wild stories and out-going nature. Emmett proves he has the gift of the gab, after just one day in Vancouver he has helped Dylan secure a sponsor for "Hipsterverse." Things are heating up for Jade. She has met a hunky local actor on Tinder, and they take the scenic route to Victoria in a helicopter for a cozy date. It's day one of the "Hipsterverse" shoot, Colin is waiting patiently for Dylan to arrive on set. When he does finally arrive they run into their first problem. They have no camera, no sound guy and no lights, the day kicks off in chaos. Dylan has had the push he needed and tracks down the cameraman and his lights, but the sound guy is still nowhere to be found. Eventually Chris the sound man arrives and they get to work. Dylan is out of his comfort zone, and it shows in his script which needs work. The actors need direction including US TV star Michael Colman. Things are far from perfect. George is on the hunt for a venue for his show, he is checking out the Granville Theater, it is the only space he has found that's available and of a suitable size. He is extremely happy with the venue except for one problem, the acoustics don't seem to travel. He has also got to sell enough tickets to cover the costs.

Emmett's friend Dean is coming to stay for a few days on his way to Whistler for a ski trip. The lads have some alone time without the girls but it's not long until they are brought up in discussion. With "Hipsterverse" in full swing, Dylan has found his stride. George is feeling the strain of producing a big musical, as the anxiety sets in. Dean fits right in with the housemates, but it's India and Dean who have really clicked over their long chats about music. She has written lots of songs in Vancouver but is struggling with the style and arrangements. Dean is a rising star in the field of composing and songwriting, he has worked with bands like Snow Patrol and worked with a team to create music in films such as The Hobbit and Despicable me. He has offered to help India with her music. George still needs to raise the deposit for the theater, so he hits the streets of Vancouver to busk. After a good day on the streets he wants to keep it going into the night. After making peace with George the girls want to support him and help sell tickets. Their last stop of the evening is the open mic night at pub340. George makes such a good impression, he is invited to sing at Vancouver's greatest annual sporting event, The Grey Cup final. Needing to boost "Hipsterverse", Dylan gets some help from his movie star brother, Stuart Townsend and calls in Hollywood actress Aisha Tyler (Friends, CSI and 24) to direct and give the series some sparkle.

With "Hipsterverse" in crisis, Dylan needs to make some bold moves and decides to buy a car. But only a true hipster car will do.
