You know, we should schedule which one of us is going to be running late on

which day.

Make it easier for you to avoid me. I'm not avoiding you.

Could you move or something?

Come on, Claire.

Barricade yourself in your room all the time.

What do you expect?

It's hard enough adjusting to two men living in my house. One of them being my

ex -boyfriend makes it even worse.

Come on, who puts empty milk cartons back in the fridge?

Sorry, bad habit.

Hey, bud, happy birthday.

Is it your birthday?

We don't have to make a big deal about it, Helen. Nonsense, you don't turn 17

every day. Hey, we have steaks in the freezer, we can have a barbecue.

I want our first birthday celebration as a new family to be special.

Jake, if you like, you can invite your new girl to join us for dinner.

New girl?

Um, we're just, we're just friends, Dad.

Okay, sure, but she's welcome. Okay, great. Yeah, thanks.

I'll see you later.

The best that I can be Whatever it takes I know I can

make it I can make it I can make it through I

can make it through I can make it through

Whatever it takes I know I can make it through

Okay, go. Go.

If you don't catch the ball, you're off the team. Faster.

No, but seriously.

Whoa.

Where did you come from?

Algebra class.

No, no, I meant the path.

Oh, yeah, I knew that.

Football's starting up, right? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm pumped. Something to focus on, you know? Yeah, I'm actually thinking

about trying out.

Good. You're a big guy. Our defense could use you. At the behavioral program

went to, they taught me ways to mimic neurotypical social behaviors to

into peer groups better.

Cool. Okay, but it's just football, and we ought to be good at it.

Okay. See you around.

Good morning, Allie.

Uh, hi.

I must have missed the memo that we were talking again. I just wanted to

congratulate you for waiting a whole five minutes after Jake and I broke up

before swooping in there. What happened at the cabin was a stupid one -time

mistake. There's nothing going on between us now. And even so, whatever

does is none of your business.

You two broke up, right?

Move on.

Well, if not you, then who?

Jenna. And Jake. Jenna. We're just friends, Claire. You don't have to

anything now. You have to be freaking kidding me. Sad words.

Enough.

Come here.

What's going on?

Do you really want to know my opinion on serial boyfriend stealers?

Good point.

Okay, just get yourself under control or else you'll be sharing your angst with

Mr. Simpson.

Once your mini house is completed, I will put it through a mock home

Checking for proper construction.

Oh, make sure you get one. This is 40%, people.

40 % of our mark to build an entire dollhouse?

Hey. Hey.

40%. I thought life skills was supposed to be a bird course.

Well, I'm excited. I already have, like, a bazillion ideas. This project's going

to take us forever, isn't it? At least all that extra togetherness will give

guys time to perfect a revenge on Katie and Marisol.

How's that going, by the way?

We got nothing.

Yeah, I figured.

Maybe we'd be a bit more successful if the master of diabolical revenge plot

stepped up to the plate.

Sorry, I'm tired.

Just as well. Your last few schemes weren't very good.

Who do you?

Vampire fiction, huh?

I used to read a lot of these.

Well, they're my top sellers.

People love The Escape.

I could definitely use The Escape.

Do you have any more?

I do. Hey, Brie, could you go grab the other books from the van?

So, why the need for The Escape?

Oh, you know, just your run -of -the -mill family problems.

Mom and dad divorced.

Stepdad and stepbrother just moved in.

Up until recently, said stepbrother was my boyfriend.

Yikes. Yeah, I know. Nice one.

Here you go. Thank you.

Vampire psychologist.

Ridiculous, but also dead sexy.

It's perfect for your escape from reality.

I'm Summer, by the way. Claire.

And I guess I'll take both.

Great.

You know, Bree just left a bad home situation a couple of weeks ago.

My boyfriend and I help out teens from time to time.

My address is on this card.

If you ever need an elsewhere to be. I'm not going to run away.

Sometimes when you can't change your circumstances, the best thing you can do

change your surroundings.

I think I'll stick to fictional escape, but thanks for this.

I mean, you should have copied it. Well, you should just throw it back. Nothing

like the view from the football field, boys.

It's too bad none of those girls are viewing you back, Mo.

Easy. Okay, we didn't all get to date the hottest girl in school last year,

Owen. That is, until she came to her senses and joined the army.

Careful not to mention the A word unless you want to see Owen cry.

Actually,

I do want to see that.

Anya, Anya, Anya, Anya. I'll do it, dude. I'll cry and I'll make everybody

really uncomfortable.

Why are they trying to make Owen cry?

They're not.

Choking around.

Oh, that's funny.

All right, Mo, Connor, you're both up for nose tackle. Let's see you attack

grandpa.

What happened?

Coach, my cleat was loose, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't cross it.

You have

a fluff on your bum.

Why are you looking at my bum? I wasn't eating.

Oh, uh, I thought you had a newspaper meeting.

I skipped it.

Hello, Jenna.

We were just going to listen to music.

Um, I can go maybe another time.

It's my birthday.

Don't change your plans because of me.

You sure?

Yeah, it's fine.

Care to join us? I would not.

Okie dokie.

My arms are killing me.

When do we get to the fun stuff, like deciding where to put the hot tub?

I think we should concentrate on making the floors level first.

Whoa.

These sketches are amazing.

My dad taught me.

When he's not teaching at the university, he consults on unique urban

projects.

We moved around a lot when I was a kid. I moved from place to place when I was

younger, too. Really?

We're lucky that the universe brought us together, then.

We must be soulmates.

So, are you and Eli going to get together and date or what?

Don't ask me about him. I never know what that boy's thinking.

Well, you were totally obsessed with him during the play.

Feelings like that don't just go away.

I was obsessed.

But I locked those feelings in a box, dropped the box to a rocket, sent the

rocket to the moon, and if I ever need feelings for Eli again, I know where to

find them.

On the moon.

So, Jenna, Jake tells me that you write music.

I do.

I took a bit of a break, but I'm getting back into it now. Oh, why the break?

Well, I actually had a baby earlier this year.

Oh, I had no idea.

Jenna had the baby adopted back in the spring.

It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but Tyson's new parents are wonderful.

It was the right choice.

Wow, I have to say I'm impressed.

Me too. It really shows your strength of character.

What?

Unbelievable. Claire, can you pass the steak?

Not too many adults I know could go through something like that and still be

smiling. So, good for you.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Most of the time I just feel like people are judging me.

Probably because they are.

Claire. Mom, you're such a hypocrite. Claire.

Watch how you speak to your mother in our house, right? Our house?

You just got here. Look, if you can't behave yourself, maybe you should go to

your room. You don't get to tell me where to go, Glenn. You are not my

Claire, please,

maybe I'll give you a little time to cool down.

Just make sure you stock up on condoms, Jake. This one's fertile.

Hey, that looks fantastic.

All thanks to Imogen.

She's brilliant, so fun, and so hilarious. And so pretty.

I have a dumb crush on Imogen.

Really? I never would have guessed.

Mom, I can't go down this road with a straight girl again. The only reason

J didn't run for the hills is because she knew me so well.

Oh, honey, your feelings are your feelings. And I'm sending them on the

rocket to the moon.

Anyway, Imogen's perfect for Eli.

Well, if they're so perfect, then why aren't they together?

Because they're dim. I don't know.

If I were to get Eli and Imogen together, she would never suspect that I

feelings for her.

You just be careful what you're getting yourself into.

Thanks, Mother.

This year's football team roster is now posted in the foyer.

Thanks to everyone who came out.

Excuse me, excuse me, sorry. Congrats, Connor. I made it?

I got starting milk tackle.

What? Why am I your backup? This is crap.

I'm sorry, Moe, but your large body mass handicaps your maximum speed by 37%.

Sorry, Conehead, don't speak nerd.

Oh, well, I mean, uh, says you're fat.

Real nice.

Are we going or what?

Where are we going?

Oh, we're getting wings.

Yeah, too bad you're not invited.

Let's go, fellas.

Just remember, you made the team.

I'm late. I hope you weren't waiting too long.

No, not too long.

Thanks for coming.

Oh, hey, are you kidding? It's great to see you.

Hope it wasn't too weird, me calling you out of the blue.

Well, I have to say I was a bit surprised when you called.

But I'd never turned down a dinner date with my daughter.

Good. We have a lot to talk about.

Yeah, I'm not surprised.

We haven't spent much time together since the divorce.

I'm just happy you and I are talking.

Is everything okay with you?

How's the new family?

That's, um, that's actually why I called.

Right now I hate being at home.

And everyone is happy with me.

I could really use a change of scenery.

With me.

Uh, Claire, my new condo is really small. I'll sleep on the sofa. I don't

Well, I'll have some convincing to do.

Living with her.

Irene.

Yeah.

With her kids every other weekend, things get a bit crowded.

But maybe we can work something out.

So, do you like Chinese buffet?

Yeah.

Sure.

Captain America.

You're lucky this is not my route.

What's up?

Oh, you know, this and that and Imogen.

Huh?

You two have been spending a lot of time together.

I wondered if you had feelings for her.

Uh, we're good friends.

That wasn't the question.

I... Okay, why are you all up in my business? You do have feelings for her.

knew it.

So why the feet of clay?

I heard her.

And I don't think I have a shot.

Of course you do.

She seems wary. It's because you're a blockhead. Thanks.

Imogen doesn't know what you're thinking. You just need to be direct.

I don't even know how to start that conversation.

Just leave it to me, amigo.

Why this sudden interest in matchmaking?

I just want to see my two besties happy.

It's a noble cause.

Hey!

Hey, you'll get over it.

The only thing I like better than Power Squad girls?

Band Geek girls.

Especially ones that play French horn.

I don't... I'm one quarter French on my mom's side, so... What

are

you laughing at, Conehead?

Your joke, it was funny.

What was funny?

I want you and your mega mind to dissect for me why that joke was funny.

I don't know. I just laughed because everyone else was laughing. That's what

supposed to do. What you're supposed to do?

No, it's not like that. Connor has a problem. No, shut up, Casey.

My only problem is this guy. Then let me break this down for you in nerd code.

Thinking a joke is funny equals laughing.

Not thinking a joke is funny means keep your mouth shut.

Get what I'm saying?

I never get what you're saying.

Now you're mocking me? I'm not!

Oh.

Easy there, blindside.

Thought I was girl kryptonite.

What is it?

You okay?

Not really.

You still mad about yesterday?

You were a complete hypocrite about Jenna. If I'd had a baby, you'd have

to March. She was Jake's guest.

What was I supposed to do? And then Glenn treats me like some four -year

can't believe you took his side.

He's my husband.

I'm your daughter!

There have been a lot of changes in this house very quickly. I know you're

struggling, but we're in a better place, aren't we?

We need to talk about this, Mom.

I wish I could help, but I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do.

That's why I'm going to go stay with Dad.

Randall would never agree to that. Then call him and ask him if you don't

believe me.

Then please call me when you get there.

Hi. I don't know if you remember me, but... Claire.

Hi, Summer.

Hey. Hey. Is this Claire?

I had a feeling she'd come.

Can I stay?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Join us.

Come on.

You okay?

I acted the way I was supposed to and it didn't work. I don't know why Mo keeps

on bugging me.

Because if they weren't laughing at you, they'd be laughing at him.

And he knows that, so he makes Connor joke.

So what if I made a Mo joke?

What kind of joke?

Well, Mo only plays football because it'll help him score a girl.

So if Mo wants a girl, I'll give him one. Then he won't need football.

This conversation just got sketchy.

How are you going to give Mo a girl?

By my estimation, 37 % of all relationships that begin online are

Oh, jeez.

There

you

go.

Hey, good morning, Claire.

How did you sleep?

Like a baby, thank you. Oh, sit down. Eat.

Organic eggs, fresh fruit, and Summer made that bread herself.

Mm -hmm.

Do you guys eat together every day?

Every breakfast and dinner.

It's the best way to stay connected.

You take all the positive energy from this table, and you can withstand all

negativity you face out in the world.

Uh, is that important?

It's my ex. He wants to talk.

We do have a no cell phone policy here at the house.

Oh.

Why?

It's a leash to your old life.

The one you left behind, remember?

The day that I threw my cell phone away, it was like getting out of jail.

You went from happy to miserable just by glancing at it. You can't let a piece

of plastic with some wires have such power over your mood, Claire.

Ditch the phone.

for yourself.

Anyone want to come on down I need you right here on the

ground
