After a tiring day of paintballing, Mike and Dane are back at home. Nikita, Mike's mother, is not in a good mood. They are starving, and Nikita serves them two TV meals in place of a hearty, home-cooked supper. Mike becomes enraged by this and storms out of the house. His friend Dane is perplexed and curious about Miss Denise's condition. Dane is a terrific listener as she shares details of her awful day. To make things all better, he offers her a huge hug. She is quite appreciative that her son has a friend in Dane.
