Spencer wait.
You're staying home today.

You can try to keep her away from me, but you cannot keep me away from her, Paula.
- Watch me.
- It's over.
Her mom won't even let her out of the house.
And some brain-washer she hired showed up to straighten her out.
What do you want me to say, Ashley? That you should kidnap her? You know what? We can go anywhere.

- Oh my God.
It's not safe out here, you know.

Oh I've had the best idea.
Why don't we play a game? - Ok.
- Charades? Super.
Hey hey, you got a better idea, there big guy? Maybe I do.
I mean I'm part of this family, yes? Yes, no, no, yes, ok.
Alright.
Well I mean, I think I should get to pick tonight's activity.
Why you? I'm the oldest.
There you go.
Seniority.
- I'm kind of afraid of what you would pick.
- Yeah, what would you pick? - How about paintbal? - Hell to the nizzo.
Seriously, what have we gotten ourselves into? I don't know, but if it gives me the chance to kick Glen's butt, then I'm in.
You know, we can still do the mother daughter mani/pedi thing this weekend - Maybe after, ok? - Totally.
- Yeah.
- Ashley? Do you wanna come too? Thank you, but no thanks.
That's something you guys should do together.
Well, you still gonna do paintbal right? We'll invite Madison, I mean, she might be a good target practice.
- Alright.
Lock and load.
- Alright, kick ass, alright.
But i call Captain.
Yeah, I'm just tired, I'm gonna go.
I'm really sorry that I ruined your family night.
Don't worry about it.
We're all just making an effort, you know? Get along, get together.
It's kinda weird, I know.
No, it's great.
Really.
What's up? I mean, aren't you happy that my mom's actually trying? This is huge, right? Yeah, you guys are doing great.
What's next, a parade? What does that mean? Nothing.
It just must be really nice to have a mom who actually wants you around.
Look Ash, I know that you feel bad.
This time it's not about you and your mom.
Ok? My mom is actually trying, and I'm glad that she is.
And she's doing this for us.
- You don't really believe that, do you? - Yeah, I do.
Wow.
Ok.
So I really didn't get the ending of that movie.
Oh I think the bad guy was supposed to be the Brittish guy's twin brother.
No I still don't get it.
So, hu I really enjoyed spending time with you tonight.
That's what friends do.
Well Ashley's not home.
Do you wanna come in for a minute? I don't think that's such a good idea.
- You know, we're just friends.
- So stop friending me.
Ok, budies, pals, amigos.
- That's us.
- Ok, whatever, Aiden.
- Oh man.
- What? The Carlins are going on a paintbal on Saturday.
I'm invited and I can bring a pal.
- Wanna come? - Oh, I don't know.
Come on, it will be fun.
Ashley will be there, you can take out your I wanna kill you fantasy.
Now you're talking.
So Saturday.
Alright.
But I am not wearing camouflage and it does not mean that I like guns.
- Alright, Clay wants the vanila almond.
- Got it.
You're doing great.
- What do you mean? - I see you trying with Ashley.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I'm just trying to keep Spencer home.
Either way, did you see how happy our daughter was tonight? - Where's the party? - Right here.
fantastic, hu? Something happened to you and Spencer? Oh yeah.
I hung out with her family tonight and I don't know, just sometimes I feel like I'm her little gay science experiment.
What do you mean? You know she loves you.
Yeah but what happens when the experiment is over? She may be getting closer to her family, but what if she's moving away from me? Look, I don't think Spencer sees it as a choice.
You know, maybe you're just a little bit jealous? - Of what? - Their whole family thing.
You've never had that.
What? You are my family.
Gotta be better than your real family, right? You are my real family.
- Honey, you're ok? - yeah.
Ok, I'm going up.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Where did you go? Nowhere, just been home.
Thinking.
- Are you ok? - Yeah.
I don't know.
Look, I don't get it.
We're out now, we're free.
We don't have to go Sneaking around, in secret.
No, that's just it, we're the opposite of free.
Everyone's in our business, especially your mom.
She's everywhere.
Alright, whatever.
Madison.
- Hey Cat, I'm sorry I'm late.
- I need to talk to you.
These charges from last night.
This one looks like it's been altered.
Maybe they've changed their mind.
I have that effect on people.
I picked this up off of the table for you last night.
I remember the tip.
Now do you wanna explain that? I don't know.
I run an honest business here Madison.
It's going really well.
I don't need this crap.
I'm sorry but you're fired.
- You can't fired me.
- Yeah we can.
And we just did.
The squad took a vote.
You're high.
I am the squad.
It just doesn't work having a thief represent our school.
You're off the squad Madison.
So I guess I'm head cheerleader now.
And I'm gonna need your uniform back on Monday.
Preferably dry-cleaned.
Oh Kyla.
It seems we have an opening on the squad.
You dance, don't you? Hey I know you told Aiden that I was going home to see Rick.
I can't believe that I trusted you.
I bet Aiden's thinking the same thing about you.
Well I don't really know what game you're trying to play, but me and Aiden are still friends.
You and I aren't.
- She'll call you when - When she is ready.
Got it.
I love the smell of paintball in the morning.
Why are you so excited about this? Cause it's in my blood.
My whole family's military.
- My dad, my uncle, my grandfather.
- Your uncle? Yeah.
You saw the samurai sword in my room? Oh yeah.
- It symbolizes my inner warrior.
- It symbolizes your inner warrior? - Just follow my lead.
- Yeah.
Hey baby.
Baby? Are you kidding me? - Why the attitude? - Why the innocent act? The way I found out about Kyla and that guy, was it some kinda plan? You knew it would hurt her and you didn't care.
I wasn't thinking about Kyla.
I was thinking about you.
Wait.
If your idea was to clear a path for you and I, You screwed it.
All is fair in love and war, baby.
Alright players.
This is total elimination paintbal.
Your goal is to eliminate the entire personnal force of the opposing team.
The last team standing win.
Oh this is so bad ass.
Isn't this better than movie night? I'm not so sure this is a good idea.
It's great for Glen.
He's trying in his own Glen way to reconnect with the family.
How? By killing us? Today's game consist with three teams.
Platoon leaders, step forward.
Glen.
I think your mom would love it if you picked her.
- Ok.
Mom.

Oh, you're gonna have to show me how to use this thing? - Great.
- Ashley.
Hey, pick Aiden, pick Aiden, pick Aiden.

Aiden.
- Hey, am I too late? - You wanna be on our team? - What? Are you crazy? - Look at her.
She's ready to take everyone out.
Oh come on Spencer, you can be on our team.
Come on.
Then we'll have an uneven number of players.
Stop worying, I am made for this game.
Hura.
I might as well have a house plant on my team.
Let's go.
Sit down, sit down.
Move, move, move, follow me, follow me, come on, come on.
What's up with the cheerleading uniform? I don't know.
Why don't you run up there and ask her? Hey hey, hang on guys.
Hang on guys.
Yeah, it's the safety ring, see? With these guns, you have to press the safety ring to put Oh Are you kidding me? One idiot down.
One to go.
Seeyaa.
It's a good shot?? No way.
Really.
Oh come on.
???a sad true to war.
Let's get out of here.
Oh he's going down.
Ok, enemy's coming 9 o'clock.
Cover me.
- Wait, wait.
What does that mean? - It means I'm going up there, And you go that way, ok? You're the decoy.
- What if I get shot? - Then you'll die a hero.
God, Spencer, you're such a looser.
I'm a looser? You know what? Just cover your own ass.
Hey guys.
Get down.
Come on man, you shot me.
- That's some expert.
- Listen up here, retards.
Here's the plan.
What the hell.
Not again.
- Why did you do that? - Dead weight.
I'm better off alone.
There's no surrender in paintball.
Come on Glen.
Let's make love, not war.

Just got to me.
- Sucker! - I don't believe it.
I do not believe this.
Hey there pal.
Hey yourself.
With enemies like this, who needs friends? Say hi to Daddy for me.
Mrs.
Carlin, I think I hurt my ankle.
Can you walk on it? I don't know, it just hurts.
You should have killed me when you had the chance, Mom.
Had 'em in the scope, tagged them up! Know what I'm sayin'? Chelsea? Yes I wanna talk too.
What the hell? I'm tunring in my uniform.
Hey is Spencer here? No, she and her dad went to the grocery store.
Oh.
Well I'll just wait if that's ok.
Of course.
Can I get you something while you wait? No thank you.
Ok.
Mrs.
C.
? I think it's great that you're trying to understand Spencer right now and all.
It's really important to her.
But I feel like you're just tolerating me.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I believe you.
You have no idea what Spencer and I are going through right now.
What you're going through is not what Spencer's going through.
Spencer's not like you, Ashley.
I know I'm not the one you want her to be with, but I'm the one she chose.
We'll see who she chooses.
I guess the battle lines are drawn.
Guess they are.
Oh my God.
