In the reality where Natalie’s test is positive, she moves back home with her mom and dad, who are less than thrilled, especially when Gabe spontaneously proposes. They encourage Natalie to still pursue her dream career in animation while she struggles with the realization that she will become a mother.
In the reality where her test is negative, she moves to Los Angeles with Cara and they start building their careers. Natalie applies to be an assistant to animator Lucy Galloway. After pining for the job, she gets an offer, and forms a strong bond with her colleague Jake. They encourage each other to follow their dreams, with him desiring to be a successful movie producer.
