Next to Jeana:
Colton's first prom. Jeana is very worried about drinking, and rightfully so. Jeana is giving Colton the 3rd degree on drinking and making her a grandma. Colton did all of the prom prep. "Uncle" Richie shows up, since Colton mainly looks up to him, and not his father.
We are back to Jeana, well Kara actually. And here is something you don't see everyday. Since Kara got wind that Simon took Ryan to the shooting range she asked Simon to take her. You go girl!! Kara wants to learn two things, they are how to shoot a gun and learn how to drive a stick shift. Hey Kara, I can teach you how to drive stick shift, that is all I have ever driven. Kara admits she misses the father figure. Simon does a great job at teaching Kara how to shoot properly.

Vicki takes a vote for to purchase or not to purchase....Donn - on the fence, Briana - NO, Michael - Yes, Lauren - Yes.
Back to Vicki and having dinner with Briana. Briana admits she has a trust issue with men, because she feels abandon. She never has seen Donn as her dad, just her mom husband. Briana wishes she had her dad. It seems to her that Mike Sr. doesn't want to know her.
