Overview[]
Fiona deals herself into Will's poker game when Marcus goest to his first sleepover. Will throws a poker night for his friends, including Andy , Crosby , TJ and Richard , but the event is hijacked by Fiona , who has no problem making herself at home with the guys. Meanwhile, Marcus goes on his first sleepover, but has a hard time staying the night when he finds the others aren't as nice to him as he had hoped.
Episode Summary[]
While waiting for a call from Dr. Sam, Will teaches Marcus how to play poker. Marcus suggests Will call Sam, but he prefers to wait it out; a wild poker night with his friends will help him pass the time. Marcus has his very first sleepover coming up at his potential friend Jackson's house. He's a little nervous because his lack of social reputation is hanging in the balance. Fiona has packed everything Marcus will need, including his dreamcatcher and pajamas with a cell phone pocket, should he need to call her in the middle of the night. Fiona's looking forward to a big night on her own: a good book, meditation and cheese curd straining. It's the first night she's spent apart from Marcus ever, and while the prospect of doing exactly what she wants to do sounds great, in practice, Fiona's bored to tears.
With nowhere else to turn, Fiona asks Will to drive her to Jackson's house to collect Marcus. She apologizes for ruining poker night, allowing that it's the most fun she's had in a long time - it's nice to feel like she belongs. Will has to admit Fiona's a pretty fun poker player. She doesn't want Marcus to abandon his sleepover, but she's too drunk to make the case, so Will speaks for her. Scary movies are just like going to the dentist - all Marcus needs to do is cut out the sound and the scare is off. Will hands over his iPod, asking Marcus not to judge, then points him to track 17. Problem solved!
