## Plot

Two months later, and the boys are still fighting over Jo, with Brody being pissed at his older brother. Tucker is trying to act as if he’s the victim and Jo was the one that kissed him. Only Tucker, we all saw you kissing her too Tuck.

Beau is over their arguments and wants this to be solved. According to Beau, they need to win something. He’s going to take them to the range and make sure that Brody wins.

But the snoopy Dad that Beau is, when Cassidy’s texts keep going off, he reads her messages. All of her friends are going to a LeAnn Rhimes concert and Cassidy decided she didn’t want to go. Chloe lets everyone know that Cassidy doesn’t want to go because it’s a Mother and Daughter thing.

Summer offers to go but Cassidy asks Bailey to go. Summer is insulted, and I mean I wanna tell girl to stop trying so fucking hard. She’s just overbearing and a little bit too much for me. Cassidy begs for Bailey to come and Bailey keeps trying to direct her to Summer but Cassidy is not having it.

Cassidy is excited for the chance to go with Bailey. Later, Bailey is set to meet her after her audition, but on the way out of the audition she runs right into Boone. Bailey tries to stand her ground and act over it but instead, she shows to Boone that she’s not over him.

Brody and Tucker are still fighting over the kiss between Tucker and Jo. Beau says they aren’t handling it right, so he's taking them to the archery range, where he will solve the issue. Beau says that he knows that Brody will win.

Later, Bailey is running so late and so while talking with Cassidy she tells her to go with her friends and she will meet them there. Only when she gets there, Bailey finds out that Cassidy didn’t come. Her best friend Lilly and her Mom are making Bailey feel bad because she failed to be there for Cassidy.

When Brody and Tuck get home, Brody is in a sling. Beau wants to know why Cassidy is there and Bailey comes in and explains. She’s trying to talk to Cassidy about missing the bus, and since it’s her fault that she missed the show, Bailey brought her something amazing home. Cassidy is in shock when the thing that Bailey brought homes is LeAnn Rimes herself, who walks through the door. LeAnn then tells Cassidy she decided to visit her after Bailey told her Cassidy’s story, which really moved her.

The two then proceed to talk about Cassidy’s Mom recording a song for her. Cassidy gets a little overtaken when she hears her singing and turns it off. But then they agree to sing, and LeAnn finishes singing the song along with Bailey. Ultimately, Cassidy feels really loved. In the process of LeAnn singing, Brody and Tuck hug it and out.

In the end, everyone finishes the night by all singing *Can’t Fight The Moonlight*.
