In school drama, Haley chooses Sam’s essay about her awful upbringing to win a contest and publish it in the school newspaper. Unfortunately, the new principal doesn’t approve of the essay’s sex and drugs, so she threatens to fire Haley if she doesn’t pick a different essay. It seems that Haley published it anyway, but her fate is left a mystery.

Dan walks his grandson Jamie home from school, and Jamie asks for some dating advice because he wants to ask a girl in his class over for a play date. Dan says that no woman can resist a Scott man’s smile after letting us know he didn’t date in prison. I’m guessing that in prison, no one messed with Dan.

After Dan’s advice, the girl says yes, so Jamie asks how Dan got Deb to like him. “Gin” is his answer. His heart is still weak, but the utterly adorable nature of this storyline is enough to make anyone’s heart melt.

Later that day at Dan’s beach house, he’s surprised to see the “girl: Jamie invited over is his teacher, Miss Lauren. Dan happens to flirt with Miss Lauren, which makes Jamie tell his grandpa to back off. Jamie gets upset about the flirting, so he screams out that Dan was in prison.

Jamie is angry that his grandpa was making fun of him, but Dan apologizes and tells Jamie that not only is he his best friend, but he’s his only friend. It’s positively adorable, and now I’m just going to be infinitely sad if Dan doesn’t get a heart soon. You can’t do that to Jamie after he already lost his other best friend Quentin.
