Ashley has only had Kyla as a sister for a few weeks, and she's already sick of her. Things get ugly between the two, and a VH1 special about their dad makes the situation even worse. Plus, fact that Aiden is crushing on Kyla isn't helping much either.

As the Carlin family try to reconnect they try out Paint ball in an effort to get their feelings out. But as Spencer grows closer to her family, Ashley feels she and Spencer are just moving apart.
