Superiority of the High and Mighty Kind-ness Two college student roommates, interning at a local St. Louis High school are introduced as counselors observing different aspects of the class. Dillon, with the aid of longtime tenured teacher Neil Rowley, observes differences in clashing personalities between students Erin, the drama department class president, and Savannah the most popular student. With a quick glimpse of each and every student seriously fixed on the front of the class Mrs. Hialeah sets the tone with an emotionally driven statement to succeed. A former high school roommate of the two college students crashes on their couch as TEMPORARY placement. When Landon reluctantly challenges Bogroe to prove he is more responsible than in the past while in school, Bogroe takes exception and makes his couch proclamation. |

Friends, Family, and Freeloaders Jaris, an Early 30's pregnant supermom, and widow neighbor to Dillon and roommates, is grateful towards the ongoing "love thy neighbor as thyself" stewardship he provides. After receiving a phone call that Dillon is driving her son Griffin home instead of letting him ride the bus due to his sickness, Dillon takes it a step further to invite the family, not just Griffin over to watch old pro basketball videos of Griffin's deceased father and Jaris' husband. Dillon and Griffin are noticeably not present when Jaris, her daughters Haley and Roxy arrive to a couch crashing new roommate in the living room. While waiting for Dillon and Griffin to bring over snacks to cater to everyone an argument ensues between mother Jaris and daughter Hayley over paying for a prom limo and dress. Savannah and Shane as a couple have high points and rather questionable two-timing moment when Shane is seen with his Ex, Londyn, on what appears to be a date. |
