When Luke asks Christina about his birth parents, he finds out that his birth mother is a wrestler. Emma successfully helps Luke find this mysterious wrestler, making him slightly emotional afterwards once Luke finds out that his biggest hope was a complete lie. He silently walks away, emotionless and heart-broken after Jessie confronts him with this terrible truth. However, Luke is still concerned about why Christina won't tell him about his past. Christina then explains that she hid this from him because she was afraid of losing his trust and compassion for having such a great mother. Luke replies, saying that Christina is already doing an awesome job mothering him, as they share a wonderful embrace. Meanwhile, Ravi plans to run for club president of Walden Academy Middle School's Reptile Club, and he is forced to choose Zuri as his campaign manager (as a permanent replacement for Bertram). However, the sibling duo is surprised that Ravi has an opponent running for the same position. Ravi decides that he'll only be co-president along with his new friend. In the end, Luke narrates his thoroughly yet well-written report about the true meaning of a family.

## Goofs

* Christina's earring gets caught in her hair.
* The wrestling match's audience is gone the exact second Jessie goes down. In reality, we should see them get up and leave.
* Luke asks Jessie “how long has it been since you’ve had a date” she responds with “too long” but in the previous episode she went on a date with Earl. But this episode was produced as the fourth and it aired as the fifth and the previous episode was the fifth produced and aired as the fourth. It’s just a production error
