When Ben asks Sadie to be his ballroom dance partner for P.E., Arden mysteriously wants to hang out and study with her. To avoid failing the class, Margaret pairs up with Rain after she mistakenly believes he is a great ballroom dancer.

Jean decides to enroll a reluctant Sadie and her friends in a self-defense class so that she can spend some with her daughter. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity to get closer with Vivian, Rain joins the class. Meanwhile, Walter brings out a fantasy role playing game in hopes of doing some bonding with Hal.

A school drama production brings out Sadie's jealous side when Arden is chosen to play Ben's love interest, and it's a part that involves some kissing.

Hal must make up a missed English assignment from last year, which lands him temporarily in the same class as Sadie, whom he seems determined to embarrass.
