Complete story — includes the ending

Early in her trip to China with Daphne, Bay contracts a serious illness and spends weeks recovering. When she does, the summer is almost over and she has not seen much of the country so she convinces Daphne to stay the whole school year. Travis joins them, and begins a relationship with Bay. 10 months later, the three are called home when Emmett overdoses on a mix of medications. Bay, Daphne, and Travis decide to stay in Kansas City. Daphne is upset to learn how behind she is in her studies; she also learns Mingo has a new girlfriend and that there is no housing for her at the university. Regina allows Bay to stay in the empty apartment above the Cracked Mug with Travis, but Bay tells Travis she wants Daphne to move in with her instead. Regina attempts to end her relationship with her much younger secret boyfriend, Luca. Mingo invites Daphne to a karaoke costume party. His costume is of Lil Wayne and he takes a selfie with Daphne, causing outrage from some who view it as blackface. Title reference: Taken from the 1902 painting The Call by Paul Gauguin.
