Pilot Matt Stewart teaches English at the same high school his elder daughter, Sarah, attends. In the opener, he just doesn't seem to grasp the concept that Sarah does not want her life to be a part of his classroom banter---and the conflict is taking a toll on their relationship. Meanwhile, younger daughter Emily has some issues of her own when she pretends to be sick at school so she can get out early. Grandfather Sam takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of the girl's unusual behavior. |
