Plot[]

Jo is offered a "once in lifetime" role in a movie which is being filmed overseas for three years in New Zealand. Kendall and Jo's relationship is in danger but she tells him that she can't shoot the movie due to her contract with New Town High. Kendall is relieved at first but later on finds out that Jo refused the role by choice. He acts disgusting towards her in order to force a break-up so that Jo can film her movie. She does break-up with him but after Jo learned why his attitude was bad, Kendall apologizes for his behavior and compensates with their 'goodbye kiss'. Jo leaves to the airport but much to Kendall's dismay and how late Jo was running, he forgot his 'goodbye kiss' because her driver needed to leave and he alongside the other boys rush off to the airport. They have their 'goodbye kiss' and Jo leaves. The song, Worldwide then begins. In the end, Kendall watches the plane leave and the boys leave the airport, knowing that Kendall's time with Jo has come to an end... for now.
