At first, Jack wreaks havoc on Hector's social life, causing Hector to speak and act inappropriately. Over time, though, Jack reveals his actual intention: to remake awkward Hector and attract the most beautiful girl in school. Could it be that Jack truly wants to help Hector? What's more, could a tumor have something to teach Hector about life?
