Harris and Troy have sex at Troy’s apartment, and Harris encourages Troy not to hold back. While lying together afterward, they laugh about sex being a strange activity. Troy says that he wants to do normal couple activities with Harris, like going out to dinner and watching television. His mood shifts as he worries about whether people photographed them kissing at the concert. He posts a picture of Fabian Salah on Instagram, explaining to Harris that he feels safe doing so because anyone attending that concert would likely be accepting. Harris is touched by this small act of bravery. Troy asks Harris on another date, promises that it will be memorable, and asks him to stay the night. Harris accepts.

Over the weekend, Troy texts Harris inviting him on a surprise overnight date. He books a private chalet at a spa retreat in Quebec and reflects on how good it feels to book a romantic trip for two men using his real name. His phone conversation with the spa’s receptionist is the first time he’s intentionally indicated his sexuality to a stranger.

Harris is thrilled, having dreamed of visiting the spa. In the hot tub, they agree to a day free from hockey talk. Harris notices Troy staring at his chest scar and admits that it’s the reason why he rarely wears bathing suits. Troy apologizes, caresses his foot under the water, and admits that he’s less nervous about being publicly affectionate than he expected since a romantic couples’ retreat leaves no room for misinterpretation. Harris explains that while coming out was frightening, it freed him from the fear of being discovered. They enjoy hot stone massages, facials, and pedicures, with Harris being enthusiastically vocal throughout.

In their private log cabin, supplied with roses and champagne, they drink by the fire. Harris attempts to sensually feed Troy a chocolate-covered strawberry, but the moment is awkward. Troy slowly kisses Harris’s entire body before they eventually bring each other to climax.

As they lie together afterward, Harris realizes that he might be falling in love. He deflects his anxiety by suggesting room service. Over dinner in their bathrobes, Harris invites Troy to his family’s farm for Sunday dinner. Troy is nervous but agrees after Harris reassures him that his family will be accepting. They confirm that they’re dating, and Troy asks Harris to tell his parents beforehand. Troy promises not to make Harris hide but asks for time to figure things out.

On Sunday evening, Troy and Harris arrive at the Drover family farm. Several dogs swarm a nervous Troy. Harris’s mother, Marlene, greets Troy warmly at the door, and Troy becomes flustered and babbles nervously. Harris’s father, Sam, also welcomes him kindly. Marlene mentions that it’s been a long time since Harris brought home someone he’s interested in romantically.

Harris takes Troy upstairs to his childhood bedroom, which is filled with Ottawa Centaurs memorabilia, and reveals that Troy is the first man he’s brought to this room. They share a kiss, which is interrupted by the family cat, Ursula. Although Harris claims that she dislikes people, she immediately approaches Troy and demands affection. Downstairs, Marlene tells Harris that she likes Troy and can tell that Troy is infatuated with him. At dinner with Harris’s parents, his sisters, and their husbands, the family is warm and welcoming. Anna teases Troy after he compliments Harris’s pie, saying that he thinks everything Harris does is special.

On the drive home, Troy tells Harris that his family is wonderful. Troy declares that he wants to come out publicly on Instagram before the team’s Pride Night game, and Harris reluctantly informs him that the game is against Toronto. Though shaken, Troy resolves to proceed. He decides that he must tell his mother first and accepts that coming out will likely end his relationship with his father. Harris promises to make it the best Pride Night ever.

At Harris’s apartment, after some playful banter, Troy asks Harris to penetrate him, and he feels emotionally overwhelmed by how cared for he feels. Afterward, while Harris is in the bathroom, Troy holds Harris’s stuffed giraffe and whispers that he thinks he’s in love with Harris.

Two weeks later, Troy nervously comes out to his mother over the phone. She is immediately supportive and apologizes for how his father must have made him feel. She also confesses that she was worried that Troy was becoming like Curtis, and Troy explains that he acted that way to hide his sexuality and feel safe. He tells her that he has a boyfriend and sends a photo of Harris. His mother is thrilled, saying that Harris looks adorable.

At the arena, Coach Wiebe calls Troy into his office and informs him that Crowell is upset about his continued social-media posts. The coach clarifies that the team’s management, owners, and coaching staff all support Troy. Wiebe reveals that Crowell dislikes him because he once filed complaints against an abusive coach who used slurs, and he assures Troy that the team won’t act on Crowell’s demands to punish Troy. As Troy leaves, Wiebe mentions that he saw Troy and Harris kissing and suggests that Troy officially disclose the relationship to management.

In the dressing room, Harris tells Ilya and Wyatt that Chiron failed therapy-dog training and will need a permanent home. Ilya insists that Harris adopt him, and Harris confirms his plan to do so, privately imagining a future with Troy and the dog. When Troy emerges from a back room partly undressed but still wearing some of his hockey gear, Harris is nearly rendered speechless.

After recounting his supportive call with his mother and his meeting with Wiebe, Troy feels emboldened and announces to the entire dressing room that he’s gay and dating Harris. After a moment of silence, the room erupts in cheers. Troy asks his teammates to keep the information private for now and then dips Harris in a passionate kiss.

A few days later, Troy wakes up in Harris’s bed. After they have sex, he realizes that he’s late for a team video meeting and rushes out. During the meeting, he struggles to concentrate because he’s anxious about the upcoming Pride Night game against Toronto.

After the meeting, Wyatt informs Troy that Dallas has been arrested after five women pressed charges. Troy is relieved and realizes that Dallas won’t be playing in the Pride Night game. Coach Wiebe acknowledges that Troy might have conflicted feelings about the arrest since Dallas was once his friend. Troy admits to feeling some confusion but says that he has better people to care about now.

On the morning of Pride Night, Harris shows Troy the final version of the coming-out video he prepared for him. Troy is impressed and feels surreal watching himself speak so openly. As they discuss when to post the video, a security guard interrupts to inform Troy that his father has come to see him.

Troy meets his father, who looks with disdain at Troy’s Pride T-shirt. Curtis dismisses the charges against Dallas and makes an antigay insinuation about Harris, who followed Troy even though Troy said that he would face his father alone. Curtis becomes hostile when Harris introduces himself. Enraged, Troy tells his father to leave. Curtis attempts to claim responsibility for his son’s successful hockey career and says that Troy is nothing without him. Troy responds that he’s happy without him, takes Harris’s hand, and tells Curtis that Harris is his boyfriend and that he’s gay. Curtis stares in shock and then turns and leaves.

Back in Harris’s office, Troy collapses to the floor in tears. Harris comforts him, and Troy explains that he feels mostly relieved. Troy tells Harris that he loves him. Harris becomes emotional and says that he loves Troy, too. They kiss passionately on the office floor. Troy decides to share the video immediately. Harris helps him post it to Instagram with a caption reading simply, “This is me” (317). Troy thanks Harris, saying that he couldn’t have done any of this without him.

Troy avoids social media for the rest of the day to focus on the Pride Night game. In the dressing room before warm-ups, the team wears Pride jerseys, and Troy decides to use a rainbow-taped stick for the entire game. As the team heads to the ice, Troy sees Harris filming them in the hallway. A teammate nudges Troy toward Harris and tells him to kiss him for luck. Troy kisses Harris in the hallway before stepping onto the ice as an openly gay man for the first time.

He looks up and is overwhelmed to see the arena filled with rainbow flags and signs expressing support for him. Ilya tells him that the entire team has decided to use rainbow tape on their sticks in solidarity and hints that he may come out himself soon. Before the game, Troy is chosen for the ceremonial puck drop and receives a lengthy standing ovation. He becomes emotional and covers his face with his glove. Harris watches from the side, also emotional, reflecting on the significance of the moment for young LGBTQ+ people watching. Harris’s family is in the stands wearing “Troy” T-shirts and waving rainbow flags.

Ottawa wins the game, and Troy scores two goals, earning first star. He receives another long standing ovation, and in the locker room, his teammates cheer for him. After his media interviews, Troy finds Harris waiting with a bouquet of flowers. They kiss in front of the remaining press, who photograph them.

A security guard informs Troy that his mother is there to see him. Troy runs to meet her and finds her with her boyfriend, Charlie, at the security desk. They share a tight, emotional embrace. She reveals that they flew in to surprise him and have decided to stop traveling and stay in Ottawa. Harris joins them, and Troy’s mother hugs him and thanks him for making her son happy again.

After his mother and Charlie leave, Troy takes Harris’s phone and snaps a photo of Harris kissing his cheek. He then posts it to his Instagram with a caption declaring his love for Harris and his gratitude toward Ottawa. Harris reads the post and becomes emotional. Troy suggests that Harris could help him look for a house in the country that’s large enough for them and Chiron. Harris is overwhelmed with happiness, and Troy tells him that there’s nowhere else he’d rather be.
