Now that Andy's squared away, Conrad takes off, but Nancy follows, still trying to smooth over the effects of their summit with Peter. Nancy thought that if Conrad could meet Peter, he would realize that Peter isn't a threat. Conrad, still not ready to forgive and forget, says that he has to go back to the house and "clean up some fucking toe blood." Must be Thursday!
Debate. It seems to be a debate scrimmage or something, because he's up against Gretchen. The topic is "Electoral College vs. Popular Vote"; Shane is taking the "Popular Vote." His argument: "George W. Bush." This earns him a standing ovation; even the coach, who's moderating, joins in the applause. Gretchen, disgusted, says that's against the rules, and asks how she's supposed to argue after Shane's invoked the name of the worst president the nation's ever seen and failed to follow protocol. The coach -- rather out of character given his tearful recitation of the school's debate kings in the last episode -- basically tells Gretchen not to be such a stickler, but she forfeits, telling Shane that he sucks. The coach pats him reassuringly on the shoulder, perhaps pleased to have learned that he and Shane are political kindred spirits.
Silas pulls in at the house. I guess they drove the whole way back in silence because only now does Silas congratulate him on a good job at the debate. Shane sighs that it was a disaster. Silas disagrees, saying that Shane made Gretchen "totally lose her shit": "That's a win in my book." Shane says that now Gretchen hates him even more. Silas guesses that Shane likes Gretchen and asks whether she knows. Shane confesses that he's never even talked to her; he's only kicked her. They walk into the house, Silas telling Shane he's going to have to do something. Their dad did it, Silas did it, and Andy does it all the time; sometimes it even works. Shane has no idea what he's talking about, so Silas says he'll have to talk to her. Shane doesn't think much of this advice. Silas adds that most women are "evil, lying bitches," but that he's trying to be a good big brother, so when Gretchen kicks the crap out of Shane's heart, Silas will buy him a beer with his fake ID. Aw, that's why I always wanted a big brother!
