When Sage finally reveals her secret, that she is a transgender male, Logan reacts with anger. How could Sage have kept this from him? What does this revelation say about Logan and his own sexuality? Later, when he has had more time to think things over, Logan feels terrible about his reaction. He considers what life must be like for Sage, who feels trapped in the wrong body. Logan vows to remain her friend, but things become complicated as these two teens work through their feelings for each other.
