Becky tries to feed her step-sister and Doreen comes in and bitches at her for doing it wrong. Meanwhile, Doreen is smoking a cigarette, which Becky tells her she shouldn't do around the baby. Doreen tells her that she doesn't need her help and Becky stomps out of the room.
Dinner time at the Taylor house! I want to eat all my meals at the Taylor house. Tami hangs up the phone, exasperated, saying that it's like she's asking these parents to come in for a colonoscopy. Coach reminds her that school hasn't even started yet. Tami puts a dish on the table and trills "We've got cobbler!" But Julie says she has to go, she wants to make it to Landry's last concert. Tami says she thought they were having family time, and Julie points out they've been doing that for the past hour and a half. Tami: "Oh, you've been watching the time?" Julie persists, she doesn't want to be late for Landry. Coach can't believe she doesn't have fifteen minutes for cobbler which her mother made. Julie takes a deep breath and wills herself not to escalate. What a grown-up! She says that she really appreciates the dinner and loves them, but she promised Landry. Then she's out the door.
Commercials. Crucifictorius's final concert (tears!). There's at least twenty people in the audience, which obviously confirms all that Landry said the show would be. Cut over to the party at Luke's house. Hope his mom is more lenient on house parties than she is on abortions, because this party looks huge and kind of major. Keg stands, et cetera. Luke tries to recruit Hastings by talking about how much he'll get noticed for playing football. Hastings is like "You guys were 2 and 8 last year." Luke, obviously kind of drunk, changes tacks, "You have to meet Mirabelle!" Vince, off to the side, grimaces. Luke drags Hastings out to look at their prize-winning pig, who has a ring of drunk kids hanging on her fence shouting "Kiss her! Kiss her!" Vince sends Jess in, as it seems unlikely that Hastings will be convinced to take up the pigskin by kissing a, well, pig. Jess doesn't think her "girl charm" will work, but goes over anyway. She pulls him away from Drunk Luke (who I quite like!) and tells it to him straight. Hastings tells her that the guys needing him is making him kind of "sweaty." She's like "sweaty?" and he explains, "Stressed out. I like doing things I want to do. I'm a free spirit." Jess says he may think himself a free spirit, she thinks him a "coward." They've gotten really close and sparks are flying. Vince is looking on, slightly concerned. She turns away from him, leaving him in her wake. Girl Charm ALWAYS works.
