Emily goes to the Bellas' sorority house to audition for them because of their
absence from the auditions. When she sings her unfinished song "Flashlight," she succeeds in joining the Bellas.

At a car show where the ICCA winners are due to perform, the Bellas scout their replacements, DSM, led by intimidating duo Pieter
Krämer (Flula Borg) and Kommissar (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen), who take delight in mocking the all-girl group. Later, the Bellas are
invited to an exclusive riff-off against DSM. Also in attendance are the Treblemakers and the Tone Hangers (a group of former
Treblemakers, including former Treblemakers leader Bumper Allen (Adam Devine), as well as a group calling themselves the Green
Bay Packers. The Bellas make it to the final two, but end up losing to DSM in the final round when a nervous Emily flubs an attempt
to sing "Flashlight," her original song not from the right category ("90's Hip-Hop Jamz").

The next day at the warmups, the Bellas' chances of winning end in disaster when the performance sets Cynthia Rose's (Ester Dean)
hair on fire by pyrotechnics. Even before then, John (John Michael Higgins) and Gail (Elizabeth Banks) question the Bellas' identity.
In order to regain harmony and sync, Chloe takes them to a retreat led by former leader Aubrey Posen (Anna Camp). Beca starts a
heated debate with Chloe over herself being the only one thinking about life beyond the Bellas and Chloe's obsession with winning
Worlds.

To prove to her boss that she can produce music well, Beca offers Emily to produce "Flashlight" at the studio. The group realizes that
they will no longer be together and may go their separate ways after graduation, and regain harmony by singing "Cups (When I'm
Gone)." At the studio, Emily and Beca present their song to Beca's boss, in which he demonstrates envy for their talent and looks
forward to producing with them.

The senior Bellas graduate and they all head off to Copenhagen for the World Finals, with Jesse and Benji to cheer them on. They
perform a harmonized version of "Flashlight" with Aubrey, Katherine, and other past Bellas joining in. The Bellas win the
championship and repair their damaged legacy. As the senior Bellas leave Barden, they give Emily a belated proper initiation with
Fat Amy showing her how to do the last tradition: christening the house by sliding down the staircase.

In a mid-credits scene, Bumper performs on The Voice, chooses Christina Aguilera as his coach and makes her uncomfortable when
he gives her an oddly lengthy hug.
