Riley, now 12, is relaxing with her parents at home when a school friend, a boy named Jordan (seen briefly at the end of Inside Out), shows up to go skating with her and her friends. Riley’s parents suspect their daughter is going out on a date, and their emotions react. Riley’s mother attempts to get the information out of her, by attempting to sound cool and using slang terms, much to Riley’s (and her emotions’) chagrin.
Meanwhile, Riley’s father tries to intimidate and interrogate Jordan. His patience wanes with Jordan’s absentmindedness, which he (and his emotions) believe is backtalk, and he is just about ready to kick Jordan out of the house when Jordan mentions he is the bass player in a band. Riley’s father recalls his own memories of being in a band as lead guitarist, and the two begin to bond over their shared love of AC/DC. Riley comes downstairs to see her father and Jordan jamming out to AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, knocking over the table and chairs in the process.
An embarrassed Riley quickly rushes Jordan out the door as her parents watch, concluding that Jordan is a “good kid” and feeling nostalgic about their own love. The short ends with Riley’s parents sharing a kiss, causing Riley’s dad’s emotional center to erupt in excitement, and celebrate once again to AC/DC’s “Back in Black”. After the credits, we again see things from inside Riley’s mother’s head, as she enjoys the kiss to the music of Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away”. She breaks off the kiss after a moment, and Riley’s father goes to fix the table he knocked over.
