Erin and Finley are having a snowball fight when they are interrupted by Coach, who asks Finley to take a ride with him. Finley and Coach sit in the car and Coach asks Finley about Russ, who has been quiet since his birthday. Basketball season is around the corner, but Finley explains that Russ doesn’t seem to be interested in or stable enough to play basketball. This makes Coach angry, and Finley then gets annoyed at Coach for being angry. Coach tells Finley to make sure that Russ gets to his physical and comes to the Friday team meeting, then thanks Finley and tells him that these efforts are all to help Russ, which Finley doesn’t believe. Finley goes inside to find Erin watching television with his father and grandfather. Erin and Finley go up to the roof, she asks about Coach’s visit, and Finley tells her that Coach wants Russ to play basketball. They kiss.
