The volleyball team wins a big game and Tami has the girls over to celebrate, Julie comes home crying because she had been waiting at the DMV for Tami, so she could take her drivers license test. Tami drives her back to the DMV and convinces the man to let Julie take her road test. Saracen and Riggans go to a strip club and Saracen gets a call that his grandmother is at the hospital. One of the nice strippers drives him to the hospital. Smash tells coach that TMU pulled his scholarship, because he has questionable character. After Landry and Jean go to the movies, Tyra asks if she can talk to Landry and she tells him that she has feelings for Landry and she wants to give things a shot.

Coach Taylor meets Saracen and Grandma at the hospital, to drive them home.

Saracen tells him "you don't care, you left me for a better job (TMU), your daughter left me for a better guy ("the Swede," Anton) Carlotta left me for Guatamala and my Dad left me for a damn war, everybody leaves me, whats wrong with me?"
