Dino plays hockey and slams some guy into the glass. His parents sit in the front row and watch, and his mom is wearing a Pucci-style print tank top. At the hockey rink. When the people around her are all wearing winter jackets. Huh? What is this, Capeside? Dino's dad notes Dino's aggression, and Dino's mom tries desperately to pretend that she has nothing to do with it.
Elsewhere, Ben notices Miss Young walking through the stands. She makes eye contact with him and then sits down next to a friend. Ben freezetalks that he never hooks up because he doesn't know how to talk to girls, and they all think he's weird for being smart. Ben is smart? That was so not established in the first episode. Ben thinks Miss Young can appreciate his intelligence. He glances back at her, but she's not looking at him this time.
Elsewhere in the stands, Jonathan and Deborah make out as Jonathan ferociously caresses her purse. Deborah points out what he's doing and they break it off for a moment. Jonathan freezetalks that guys have all the sexual pressure because they have to come up with the moves, and he needs a little help in that area. Or maybe he just has a purse fetish.
Jackie complains to Other Friend that she doesn't know what Dino's problem is, because he was all into having sex and then he ditched her once she finally agreed. Other Friend thinks Jackie deserves better than Dino.
Ben walks up and talks to Miss Young, who introduces him to her friend as "one of the top kids in my class." Miss Young reminds Ben that he has a paper due on Monday. Ben freezetalks that he can't believe Miss Young just called him a kid in her class, like, was she supposed to start making out with him right there? What part of "inappropriate, unethical, and illegal" does he not understand? Frankly, what part of that does Miss Young not understand? Ben turns and disgustedly walks off.
On the ice, Dino checks some guy into the boards, and the Coach yells at him. Mom thinks the Coach might have asked Dino to be aggressive, and Dad points out that Dino is a scorer, not an enforcer. Extraneous Brother (who is at least wearing a sensible coat) takes off to get a doughnut, while Mom and Dad continue to freeze their asses off in short-sleeved shirts. I mean, maybe it would make sense if they included some plot point about how Mom dressed that way to impress her lover or something, but as it is, they both just look like idiots. Cold idiots. Mom goes to the bathroom while Dad follows Extraneous Brother.
