Since Evan arrived in Indiana, the audience sees him trying his best to fit in and make new friends in his new school. However, to gain popularity, he goes a little too far, hurting his new friends and mother.

While Brett and Kendra are eager to have their first kiss, Evan goes on to help them find the perfect place for that, a movie theater. However, this makes Lucy furious at Evan as she also likes Brett.

Lucy threatens Evan that if he does not stop Kendra and Brett's kiss, she will make sure that no one shows up at his Bar Mitzvah.

This makes Evan quite anxious, and he planned to spoil their kiss by using his other friend Archie, who also has a massive crush on Kendra. However, everything goes sideways when all the parents show up at the theater hall and catch them watching an age-inappropriate horror movie.

This incident spoils everything for Evan as he seems to have lost all his new friends, including Patrice, his first friend in Indiana.


What happened to Evan's bar mitzvah?

His Bar Mitzvah meant everything to Evan, and he seemed upset that his actions might have ruined it. However, in the end, the audience sees Evan making amends with all his new friends by apologizing from the bottom of his heart and making everything right.

After Evan encouraged Brett to tell her how he felt, Brett and Kendra finally got to have their first kiss. Evan also rekindles his friendship with Patrice by apologizing and giving her a photobook with photos of them having the best time together.

At the very end, everybody shows up at Evan's Bar Mitzvah, including Patrice, and everything goes perfectly, giving the audience quite a satisfactory ending.
