Someone then calls and tells Jo she has gotten the part but it is to be filmed in New Zealand for three years (the movie is implied to be a trilogy). Kendall then becomes upset and soon finds out by Jo in the lobby that she turned down the part because she was unable to get out of her contract with Newtown High, and Kendall performs a "happy dance" until being informed by Katie that she had chosen not to take the role by choice. Kendall is then told by Katie that this is putting too much pressure on himself and that he needs to go on a date with Jo and be disgusting so they can break-up. On their date, Kendall does many gross things such as stabbing a guy with a fork by performing a "fork chop". Jo breaks up with him and walks away, leaving Kendall feeling upset. Katie does her best to cheer him up in the meantime. Soon, Jo stops by and tells Kendall she knows that he just acted disgusting at the date so she would choose to take the movie role.
