My Two Dads

"**My Two Dads**" is the second episode of *Hoops*.

## Plot

Outraged that Shannon still hangs out with his dad, Coach goes looking for some petty revenge. Matty struggles to bond with the team.

## Summary

Hopkins, coaching another practice, tells his team that the point is to get the ball *through* the hoop. He tries to show them how it's done, but can't make a basket himself. He tries many times before lowering the basket super-low and *still* can't get it in. "Well, hopefully you got what I was trying to say."

Hopkins rides with a friend named Kirk, gushing over a sex tape that they haven't watched since they were 11. Kirk asks if he's sure Shannon has a VCR and they arrive at Shannon's place only to find that Ron is there. Hopkins calls Ron to complain about lying to get out of work, but Ron, posing nude, claims he's at an "art class." Hopkins wonders just *who* it is that's with his ex-wife. The next day, he talks about it with Principal Opal. Opal shows no sympathy, asking if he "wants to be the Lisa Nowak of this love triangle." When he decides that he does, Opal calls it crazy and smokes some marijuana.

At basketball practice, Matty struggles with the team and Hopkins tells him that he can replace everyone else with robots if they're bothering him. Matty shouts that he's out of there, that it sucks. Hopkins asks what's wrong with them. They tell him that Matty doesn't fit in, that he thinks he's better with them just because he is. He tells them Matty is there to stay unless they're willing to take HGH like he suggested. He goes to see Ron, who shows him a naked drawing of himself. He tells Ron that he saw Shannon with another guy. Ron says that he could believe that Shannon would cheat on Hopkins, but not him. Hopkins tells him that they will get his wife back to him. Matty rides to practice with his mom. She tries to give him a pep talk, but when she offers to come in with him, he tells her that he's going.

Hopkins talks with Kirk, who he hired to sneak into Shannon's house. Kirk provides him with no useful information, other than that her day planner says that she has an appointment with "D." Hopkins figures this means she has an appointment tonight with "dick." Hopkins finally confronts her straight out, saying that he's about to Joey Greco her. He then discovers that it's his father that she's hanging out with. Meanwhile, Matty hangs out with the guys of the team. Back at Shannon's, where Shannon tells Hopkins that Barry is simply a mentor to her, and like her second dad. He replies that he forbids them from hanging out, but Shannon says he can't stop them. Hopkins says that if she's hanging out with his dad, then he's staying. Back with the team, Matty shuts himself up in a bathroom and returns to find the team trash-talking him. He tells them he doesn't think he's better than them, but he is smarter, and proceeds to give to give them useful advice, before saying he's out.

Hopkins continues to hang out with Shannon and his father, before stepping out to take a call, where he learns that the "hang-out" with Matty was a bust. Hopkins replies that it's not good enough and they have to make it work. He then learns that his father and Shannon are going to his third cousin Tony's wedding. Hopkins asks why he wasn't invited and Shannon says she's only going because it's at a horse farm and it could be an opportunity. He tells them that he's not going to be Lisa Nowak and leaves.

The team tries again, this time visiting Matty at his own place. His mother suggests he show them his "boy cave," or the basement. Meanwhile, Hopkins attends the wedding, and gets into an argument with his father. He tells him that he's found a second dad too - his new dad, Shannon's dad, who is a grizzled old man in a wheelchair. "Happy birthday," shouts Shannon's dad. The team visits the "boy cave," which is set up like Las Vegas. He tells them that his dad set it up like that and then left them. His mother brings down sandwiches and the team seems to really go for it. She tries to bond with him, but it's awkward and she leaves. The team tells him that they don't hate him, they just thought he hated them. They all agree to be chill with each other and get drunk together and smoke weed until they pass out.

Hopkins continues talking with his dad, who doesn't understand how Hopkins could have found a replacement dad in someone who thinks a coat is his dead wife. Hopkins replies that Shannon's dad is a good listener who doesn't make him feel like a constant disappointment. Barry replies that it's Hopkins' choice to feel that way. Hopkins takes a call from Matty, who tells him that he and the team are "bonding the hell out of each other." Barry tells Shannon that Hopkins is trying to make them jealous by bonding with her dad, only for her to reveal that it's *not* her dad. It's Willy Rothbart, the man who bought her parents' old house. He replies that all old white guys look the same. In a flashback, it's revealed that the guy only came with him anyway because he thought he was God come to take him to heaven. He then dies on the spot. He wheels him into a table, shouting that he touched a dead guy. He then ruins Shannon's deal with the groom. He attends Rothbart's funeral, telling him he was a great listener. His dad attends the funeral, apologizing for not listening to him. A woman chastises him for blocking the way of the mourners, asking if he even knew the guy. Hopkins replies that for four hours, he was like a father to him. She then points to Barry, asking who he is. "That's my actual father. He's an asshole."
