Go To

A Plot: After Beverly catches Adam and Brea, who are now boyfriend-girlfriend, kissing in the basement, she begins interfering with their relationship. Agitated after she tags along on their planned date, the two agree to fake a break-up in order to keep Beverly away from them.

B Plot: Lainey comes to town to meet her father's new girlfriend (Dolores, from the previous episode) and asks to meet up with Barry. It turns out she just wanted to apologize for not saying goodbye before she left, and that she still wants to be friends, but Ren assumes otherwise.


  • The Bus Came Back: Lainey reappears for the first time since leaving for LA last season, and becoming a main character in the spinoff series, Schooled.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: Ren catches Barry and Lainey sharing a goodbye kiss, assumes they're getting back together, and breaks up with Barry. Erica ends up having to explain to her that Barry has a good heart and really wants to be with her instead of Lainey.
