Jesse coaches the soccer team to a win, then Rebecca shows up at the house and asks Jesse to go with her to the wedding of her aunt's former son-in-law tomorrow, then Danny asks Jesse to fix his car. Jesse thinks he can handle it all, until he and the family go to the Smash Club and Jesse discovers that the Rippers didn't show up because he and the Rippers ended up booked for two gigs on the same night -- the one at the Smash Club and one at the Holiday Inn in Sacramento, and the Rippers are in Sacramento without Jesse, so Jesse is forced to use the family as his makeshift bandmates because Jesse has always wanted to perform in front of Sam Battersby. Needless to say, it's a disaster. Jesse realizes that all of the things he has obligated himself to on this day are too much, and the family agrees, deciding to give Jesse a much needed break from it all. |
