EPISODIUM
The Mason kids notice grim tension between their parents, finds the sketch of young Brad, guess it stirred marital trouble bad enough to land Matt in the guest room and 'trick' them to a romantic dinner. Matt is ready to make up, but Laurel dares blame him for lack of unconditional trust. After speeching in class and consulting the home fronts, Amber, coached brilliantly by Bailey, and Imogen realize the school election isn't worth their friendship. Imogen offers to withdraw, but Amber calls her assumption of sure success arrogant and insist on a vote. Bailey dreams of a cultural exchange to China and jumps at Gemma's offer to tutor him in two scientific courses, but he thus notices that she is tampering with the ballot papers.
