Madison is answering a phone call while serving customers at her food truck.
Madison: (on a call) Yes, he's still really upset with all of you. (pause) Especially you, Montana. (another pause) Stop blaming Tracy. She'll donate you for my food truck business [laugh track]. Look, I gotta go. I don't think he's in the mood to talk to any of you. (She ends the call and turns around. She's somewhat annoyed, though) Wow, saying you're not the mood is a big understatement.
Logan: (in between mouthfuls of apple pies) Wow, I think this needs more salt [laugh track]
Madison: Logan, I get that you're not in speaking terms with everyone, except me and, technically Rudra, but don't annoy me.
Logan: Fine, I'm sorry. I'll help around here.
Madison: It doesn't matter. You were supposed to be serving the Cola cans some minutes ago. Now, get to it, curly.
Logan: (looks to the side) You heard her. Get up. (Rudra is seen casually sipping yoghurt with a straw)
Rudra: Why am I here again?
Logan: Cause you're the one of 2 people I know in this Denver who didn't betray me. And to be fair, you could pass as our son.
Rudra: Yeah, none of us are ready to accept Miss Madison as our new mom. We already have Miss Tracy. And I know Madison cooks better, but come on!
Logan: (sensing that Madison is glaring at the two) Ruddy Khanna, not helping [brief laugh track]

Later, at Logan's house...
Danny: (pacing) It has been 3 days, and Mr Logan doesn't want to return even after the numerous apologies we all sent him. (He stands still and frowns) This is ridiculous. Why do none of you care about the owner of this house? (Kelsea, Danny, Montana, and Tracy are just slouching on the couch, and surrounded by bags of potato chips) [laugh track]
Tracy: Danny, the better question is, why are you the one worried about Logan? (turns to Jesse) That's your job.
Jesse: I'm all for looking out for someone who's like the dad I never had, but Mr Liam can be a bit extra.
Montana: This is coming from the teacher's favourite, and we aren't even in Vegas [laugh track]
Kelsea: You have an actual dad.
Jesse: Get my point, Kelsea. This extra behaviour is the reason he abandoned us with Miss Tracy [laugh track]
Danny: Or rather, we have to go directly to Mr Logan and apologise. For two reasons. Firstly, it was really selfish of us to do so
Montana: What's the second reason?
Danny: I'm smarter than I'm supposed to. I'm supposed to be jock smart, not rocket science smart. I know I'm wild, but I never use rockets in any of my analogies after the last time [brief laugh track]. Now, can we find him and get this over with?
Jesse: You're right. We have to be quick about it. The balance of this house is already being destroyed by Danny's sudden science switch [brief laugh track]
Montana: Madison's food truck, here we come. Thanks, Danny. For letting us realize the truth.
Tracy: (to Danny) Also, who let you near a rocket? (She cuts in before he can answer) Wait, don't answer that! (Everyone's jaws drop open as they realise what she just implied) [laugh track]

In front of Madison's food truck...
Jesse: And that's why we are sorry about our scheming. We meant no harm. (He turns to Montana, Tracy, and Kelsea) Why am I the spokesperson and not Miss Tracy? You made me prepare a whole lengthy
Tracy: The main question is, why am I standing with you? I wasn't even aware you offended him. I'm going in. (She walks into the food truck and stands with Madison, Logan, and Rudra)
Logan: Look, y'all are forgiven. Even though you started your apology from the end of the sentence [brief laugh track]
Kelsea: So, you're coming back?
Logan: Yeah, I'm returning home.
Rudra: Finally. I'm tired of playing family dress-up with these two.
Madison: Sweetie, that wasn't dress-up [laugh track]
Montana: You know? Danny is at home preparing something nice to welcome you. And I gave him a good recipe, so everything will go down.
Everyone else: Oh, no [laugh track]

Back at Logan's house, Danny is serving Logan with a plate of rice and a large chicken lap piece.
Logan: (observes both Danny and the food) One of the few times you didn't almost burn down my kitchen [brief laugh track]
Danny: Yeah. Also, is it weird that everyone else left me here with you?
Tracy: (walks in from the kitchen) They were scared you probably did something crazy while cooking.
Logan: (about to take a spoonful of Danny's food) But obviously you didn't. Besides, this looks good (puts some food in his mouth and squirms as he munches)
Danny: What's wrong?
Logan: Nothing's wrong. Just that, there's rice in the plate of stones you served me [heavy laugh track]
Tracy: You're overreacting. (She takes a spoonful of the rice and eats, but she grimaces). Daniel, I love you, but this burnt offering you just sacrificed isn't worthy of our blessings [another heavy laugh track]
Danny: But I used a good recipe from Mr Montana. Either way, I prefer being scolded for not cooking well, so I'll just do this. (He takes the plate of rice, or rather stones filled with rice, from Logan and walks outside with it) I've got to show my siblings the brand new cuisine I prepared.
Tracy: I don't think you should -
Danny: Bye! (He walks out of the house, closing the door behind him) [laugh track]
Tracy: What do I know? He could just sleep over in his room when Sunny kicks him out.
Logan: (confused) His room is in his house.
Tracy: Yeah, let's work with that. (She goes back to the kitchen)
Logan: Wait, my room!! I've only been gone for 2 days, and you already rented it out to Danny!
Tracy: (offscreen) Relax. You still have a few hours before sharing.
Danny: (returns with a bunch of clothes wrapped in cloth sheets, tied to a bamboo stick) Scratch that. The room is mine now [brief laugh track]. (Danny walks in, drops his belongings on the couch, and enters the kitchen. Logan heaves a sigh)
Logan: (to himself) And this is why you never forgive the first time [final laugh track]
