This adjustment is not only difficult for him, but for the whole family as well. Jenn tries to balance her busy home life as she finds herself leaving the hospital to work in the local clinic to help her community. Meanwhile, Cassie and Charles are back to school and their romance heats up after being on hold for the summer while she was away at art camp.

As for Taylor and Lizzie, they continue to face peer pressure and other teenage issues. Eddie's partner Lund, on the other hand, unexpectedly deals with his wild teen daughter, Sage, as she comes to live with him and shakes up his single world.

Lincoln Heights airs every Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC Family.
