(Skipping season 1 episode 6: take her out of the ballgame)

Mia is reading a script for the play she's in as Bonnie makes some breakfast in her robe.

"Mom" Ben said with a smirk in his eyes.

"What were you doing on my computer late night?"

"Oh honey you should make it a habit of clearing your history, you never know who's snooping around." Bonnie said

"That's great advise 'HotBon47'." he said laughing

Riley nearly spit out her orange juice as Ben shows her and Mia the website.

"Oh my god" she said looking at the online dating profile.

"So what if I have a profile." Bonnie said

"It says your a widow" Ben said

"Yeah well your fathers kind of dead to me" she said flipping eggs. Riley laughed

"And for age you put-"

"Ahah" Bonnie said pointing the spatula at Riley and Mia

"Now you listen here misses, those things aren't going to stay up forever enjoy them while they last" Riley and Mia looked horrified

"This is how online dating works, everybody lies, it's like putting your weight on your license- It's more of a suggestion." She said then Danny erupted into the room.

"My life is officially over" he said holding his hockey gear and closed the door.

"At practice coach wants me to do an interview." He said as if that was suppose to mean something, and apparently it did to Ben and Bonnie because they started grinning and laughing heartily.

"That doesn't seem so bad." Riley said

"Yes, it is you don't understand Riles" Ben said trying to contain her giggles.

"Yeah you should see him on camera, he looks like the deer after it go hit by the car." Ben said making a face that Bonnie made as well.

"I'm not doing it, I can't." Danny said taking a plate of food and going to the balcony outside the window.

"Could you people be any less supportive?" Mia asked

"Yeah but it's early I'm still waking up" Bonnie said taking a sip of coffee.

"Sorry, but Danny can't talk in front of a camera, public speaking isn't his forte never has been." Ben said

"Well maybe it can be."

"Mom your robe." Ben said disgusted

"Oh gosh sorry." she said covering up her neck.

"Ah shocking my apartment yet all my food is eaten by people who's names don't start with Tuck- or end with -er" Tucker said

"Oh look conveniently no coffee for me." he added looking at Bonnie.

"Hey short stuff this is the big kids table and little children don't drink coffee." Bonnie jokes

Mia stood up and went to the Fire escape where Danny was at.

"Wheeler, what's going on? You make people bleed for a living, I'm sure you can handle a little bit of public speaking." Mia said sitting next to him 

"Breaking people's nosies, that's easy speaking I front of people no thank you." He said

"I could help you,I was the president of the thespian club in school. "I had nothing to do with accident officer, I'm innocent." Mia said
