Still, Clay wants a chance with Marisol, but Marisole doesn't want to date him.

How can Clay prove to Marisole he is different from the others?
That he is serious about her?

Will Clay's reputation keep her at a safe distance from him, with no chance of blossoming into anything beyond friendship?
Or will Marisole give him the chance he craves?
