Logan heads back to Apartment 2J, his cozy home sweet home. As he walks in, he can't help but let out a sigh of relief, "Man, James, you lucked out big time. Good thing he's not holding any grudges against you or the rest of us."

Feeling remorseful, James responds, "I seriously regret being so tough on him. Seeing Kendall so down really hit me hard. And when I saw the person who caused his pain, it just fueled my anger even more."

Understanding James' emotions, Logan advises, "I totally get where you're coming from, but you gotta chill out, man. Like, seriously dial down that anger, you know what I mean?"

James nods in agreement, assuring Logan, "Yeah, bro, I hear you. I'll make sure to keep my anger in check."

An hour later, Kendall returns to the apartment, and Carlos takes the chance to fill him in on everything that went down while he was away.

"James, it's already tough enough that Louie has it out for me. I don't want you to end up in the same boat. Tomorrow, you gotta apologize to him," Kendall insists.

James responds sincerely, "I promise, Kendall. I'll make it right and apologize to him."

"That's great to hear," Kendall says with a smile.

After enjoying a delicious dinner together, they all head to bed, ready for a new day. On Monday morning, James approaches Louie's desk in the classroom.

"I want to apologize for getting upset with you yesterday. You're an amazing kid," he says sincerely.

Louie responds, "Thank you. I really appreciate that."

"Good morning, class," Miss Collins greets as she walks into the room.

"Before we get started, I have something important to share," Jett announces, standing up.

"Dude, we already know you're the hottest teen star. You've mentioned it countless times. What else is new?" Carlos says, slightly annoyed.

Jett quickly clarifies, "No, this isn't about me. It's about Louie."

Louie, feeling confused, asks, "Me?"

Jett continues, "Louie has been keeping a secret from all of us."

Kendall sighs, rolling his eyes, and says, "What are you talking about?"

Jett confidently reveals, "Louie is autistic, and I found out from a very reliable source. Logan told me!"

Logan gasps in surprise and looks at Louie, who stares back at him with a mix of anger and betrayal.

"I never said anything to you about Louie! You and I aren't even friends!" Logan defends himself.

"You failed to inform even your closest friends," Jett accuses.

"That's because I made a promise to Louie that I wouldn't say anything! As a hockey player, I gave him my word," Logan explains.

"He's telling the truth!" Kendall, James, and Carlos all say in unison, supporting Logan's statement.

"Hey, that's enough!" Miss Collins exclaimed, clearly frustrated with the situation. "Jett, it's not appropriate to reveal Louie's personal information like that."

Jett, with a mischievous grin on his face, responded, "Aha! So even you acknowledge knowing about it! It must be true then! I was right all along! Louie is... well, you know." He burst into laughter, but his amusement was short-lived as a sudden punch sent him crashing to the floor.

All eyes turned to James, expecting him to be the one who threw the punch. However, to everyone's surprise, he shook his head and pointed at Louie.

Louie, his voice filled with anger, shouted, "I warned you that I would show you what I'm capable of! I may be different, an outcast, and shy, but one thing I am NOT is 'retarded'! If you EVER call me that again, I'll snap your arm like a twig!"

The entire class fell into silence, frozen in shock. Not a single person dared to move a muscle.

Logan, noticing that Louie is still visibly angry, comes up with an idea to help calm him down. "Hey, Louie, why don't you come with me to grab some water and fruit snacks? It might help you relax a bit," he suggests. Louie hesitates at first, but eventually agrees after realizing that everyone is still staring at him.

The two teenagers walk out of the classroom, leaving behind a tense atmosphere. Jett, still on the ground after being punched by Louie, speaks up, hoping for some support. "Is anyone going to say anything? He just attacked me!" he exclaims. Jo, however, responds with a surprising statement. "We don't care. You deserved that punch," Jo says firmly.

Feeling betrayed, Jett expresses his disappointment. "I thought you were my friend," he says, his voice filled with hurt. Jo, while acknowledging their friendship, stands their ground. "I am your friend, but I can't support a bully, which is what you've become," Jo replies honestly.

Jett, feeling desperate for someone to intervene, turns to their teacher, Miss Collins, for help. "Miss Collins, do something!" Jett pleads. Miss Collins, known for her no-nonsense approach, addresses the situation. "I don't condone physical violence in this classroom, but you crossed a line with Louie. He had every right to defend himself in the way he felt necessary," she states firmly.

Jett, frustrated and unable to accept the consequences of his actions, lashes out at Miss Collins. "You're an awful teacher!" he blurts out, causing the class to wince, knowing that Miss Collins is about to unleash her anger.

Miss Collins, visibly angered by Jett's disrespectful comment, folds her arms and approaches him. "Excuse me, young man. What did you just say to me?!" she says, her voice dripping with anger. Jett, realizing his mistake, widens his eyes in fear. "Did I just say that out loud?" he nervously mutters, fully aware of Miss Collins' reputation as a strict and no-nonsense teacher.

"Certainly, Mr. Looselips," Katie replied, her tone dripping with unmistakable sarcasm.

Jett let out a deep sigh, clearly expressing his lack of enthusiasm about the situation. "I suppose I will reluctantly accept my detention," he muttered, his voice filled with resignation.

Miss Collins shook her head in disappointment and firmly stated, "Detention alone is not sufficient for this kind of behavior. You will be suspended! The duration of your suspension will be determined through discussions involving me, your agent, your parents, and the director of New Town High. Trust me, my anger is nothing compared to the consequences they will impose."

Meanwhile, in the lobby, Logan and Louie sat comfortably in the chairs, enjoying some fruit smackers and sipping on refreshing water.

Logan turned to Louie and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

Louie replied, "Yes, but not completely."

Logan reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, I didn't disclose any information to him."

Louie nodded in understanding and remarked, "I believe you. You're not the type to easily betray someone you care about."

"Good to know. Thanks." Logan says.

Louie says, "I'm really sorry for what happened in the classroom. I got overwhelmed and my behavior was bad. It was uncomfortable to have everyone looking at me after that."

On the other hand, Logan has a different view. He says, "Honestly, it was quite a show. I usually don't support violence, but Jett deserved it. What he did was unbelievable."

Louie feels bad about what happened, while Logan sees it as justice. The incident caused different reactions among their peers, showing how complex the situation is. It's important for everyone involved to think about their actions and find a way to move forward in a better way.

Miss Collins ends class early, mentally exhausted from the incident. Louie hangs out with the guys in Apartment 2J but can't relax. Carlos has a plan.

"You like video games?" he asks.

"Yeah, I wanna design them for a career. But who's gonna hire an autistic weirdo like me?" Louie sadly replies.

"Nintendo. People in the special needs community make awesome employees. Your mind is smart and creative. I'll buy any game you design," Logan says, smiling.

"Thanks, Logan," Louie says.

"Who's your fave Mario Kart character?" Carlos asks.

"Yoshi," Louie proudly says.

"Awesome! Grab a controller, let's race," Carlos says.

30 mins into their third race, they're laughing and having fun. Jett arrives, darkening the room's bright vibrant atmosphere after being let in by Ms. Knight.

"Why'd you let that egomaniac in? He killed the vibe," Kendall complains.

"His mom should've kept the stork and thrown him away," Katie says.

James laughs, agrees, and hugs her.

"I'm here to apologize," Jett says.

Louie glares, not believing him.

"How'd you find me?! Ready for round two?!" Louie balls his fists.

"Saw you go in the elevator with the guys, thought you were hanging out," Jett says.

"You were spying?!" Louie says, angry.

"No, just saw you. Didn't know why," Jett says.

"Whatever," Louie rolls his eyes.

"Busy, can I ignore you later?"

"I'm trying to apologize, you're not making it easy," Jett says.

"Oh, you don't like being treated like you treat me? Must suck," Louie says.

"I really need you to listen," Jett says.

"Wish I had a flip phone to slam shut on this convo," Louie says.

"I'm doing my best. Please listen," Jett says.

"N'Sync said it best, "BYE, BYE, BYE!" Louie says.

"I have to apologize." Jett says.

Louie is starting to get really agitated.

"You wouldn't have to apologize if you were a nice person! How did you even find out my secret?! Tell me right now!!" he says.

"I overheard you and Logan talking about it in Palm Woods Park yesterday." Jett says.

"Seriously, why did you think it was cool to spill his secret to the whole class today? He and Logan were having a private conversation, not meant for you or anyone else to hear," Kendall says, clearly upset.

"Well, they were talking in a public place," Jett responds.

"Let me get this straight. You eavesdropped on their conversation about keeping Louie's secret from everyone, knowing he didn't want anyone to know, and then you interrupted valuable class time to expose his secret. And your defense is that it happened in a public space?!" Kendall says, his anger evident.

Jett remains silent.

Just then, Officer Garcia enters the room.

"Hey, kids! I'm so pumped for Halloween tomorrow," he says, but quickly notices the tense atmosphere.

"What's going on here?" he asks, clearly confused.

"I'm glad you're here, Papi. You need to scare the soul out of Jett. I'm pretty sure he's possessed," Carlos chimes in.

Officer Garcia looks at his son for a moment, then turns his attention to Jett and notices the bruise on his face.

"Did you get into a fight with my son and lose? Did you hurt him?" Officer Garcia asks, suspicion in his voice.

"No, sir. I didn't lay a finger on him. I never have," Jett nervously replies.

"Then who gave you that nasty bruise on your face if it wasn't Carlos?" Officer Garcia questions, growing more suspicious.

"Louie did, sir," Jett answers, gesturing towards the younger teen.

"What did you do to provoke him to hurt you?" Officer Garcia asks.

"I called him the 'R' word after revealing to the entire class that he's autistic," Jett admits.

"I've been hearing nothing but good things about Louie from Carlos. He seems like a kind and sweet kid, based on what I've heard. So, how did you find out he's autistic?" Officer Garcia inquires.

"Yesterday at Palm Woods Park, I overheard him telling Logan not to tell anyone about it, and I happened to be nearby," Jett explains.

"So, his defense is that because it happened in a public space, he had the right to blab about something that was none of his business to the whole school. And it gets worse - he insulted Miss Collins because she didn't punish Louie for punching him," Logan says.

"Jett, my son doesn't talk about you often, but when he does, all I hear are bad things about you. Mainly, it's about your behavior and how you think your popularity makes you believe you're better than him and his friends. You have this thought in your mind that you can just date Kendall's lovely girlfriend, Jo, even though she's told you countless times to stop bothering her. You tease all the younger kids, especially if you think they can't afford the latest fashion trends. You judge everyone by how their bodies look. The list goes on and on, and I'm appalled. I'm sure your parents aren't happy with you," Officer Garcia says.

"They definitely aren't," Jett says.

"I just need to know why you felt the need to tell everyone Louie's secret. It's obviously very personal information to him. What did you get out of humiliating him? Did it benefit your life to see him upset?" Officer Garcia continues to interrogate him.

"I thought it would be funny," Jett says.

"To whom?! Nobody was laughing!" James says.

"You want to know why nobody ever wants to hang out with you? Because you're a spoiled, entitled selfish egocentric arrogant jerk who doesn't care about anyone but himself!! You're annoying and mean. When you walk into a room all the oxygen dries right up!" Logan says.

"This may come as a shock to you but humans have feelings!"

"I'm very regretful of all my actions to all of you." Jett says.

"Just leave. Liars aren't welcome here." Katie says.

Jett sighs and exits the apartment.

"Wow that was intense." Officer Garcia says.

"I'm curious Louie, where did you learn to punch like that?"

"I've been taking martial arts since I was three years old. I know how to defend myself. I don't look very intimidating and I'm not confrontational but I will get physical if I have to. I don't regret punching Jett, but I really didn't think I would even need to do it. He was just getting on my nerves and crossed the line calling me that terrible word that shouldn't even exist." Louie says.

"Can't you put Jett in a scared straight program, Papi?" Carlos asks.

"That's not exactly how that works, mijo." Officer Garcia says.

"The scared straight program is for juveniles who have committed crimes."

"Jett existing is a crime in itself." Katie dryly says.

"You are on a roll tonight, Katie!" James says, laughing and high-fiving her.

"I'm gonna be staying here tonight because I want you guys to have an amazing Halloween." Officer Garcia says.

"You're the best Papi ever!" Carlos says hugging him.

"You wanna join our Mario Kart race?"

"I'm not sure I'll be good as you and Louie." Officer Garcia says.

"You don't have to be perfect sir." Louie says respectfully.

"Ok well then I'll give it a try." Officer Garcia says, picking up a controller.

Carlos exits out of the current race so his father can pick a vehicle and character. A new race starts and the good vibe in the room resumes.

After a few more hours Louie goes home and the guys and Katie go to bed.

Tuesday morning is Halloween and Carlos can't contain his excitement. He practically inhales his cereal and gets dressed for the day in his costume which is Donatello his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Katie gets up after him.

"Good morning princesa." He says, smiling.

"Good morning Carlos. Shouldn't we be quiet while your dad is asleep on the couch?" she asks.

"He's a very heavy sleeper. The man can sleep through an earthquake." Carlos says, jokingly.

"That's funny." Katie says.

"I've got an idea for a prank but he isn't the target." Carlos says.

"What's the idea?" Katie says.

"It's gonna be a prank on Logan. He gets easily scared more than anyone in here but I'm going to need Camille's help. She'll be here right about now." He says, points to the door as if on cue she walks in.

"I got the monster mask but I borrowed it from the Witches of Rowdale Drive set. My director made it very clear that I can't lose it." Camille says.

"That won't happen amiga." Carlos says.

"Just put it on to scare Logan. It'll be hilarious."

"Ok. I'm so up for that." Camille says, putting on the mask and walking into the bedroom. Kendall and Logan are both softly snoring.

"Logan wake up." she gently says, holding in her laugh.

"Pluto isn't a real planet." Logan mumbles but doesn't wake up.

Camille leans in close to his face and in a deep demonic voice goes, "WAKE UP!"

Logan slowly opens his eyes, then widens them and screams, making Kendall scream too.

"What's going on?!" the tall blonde says, confused and still scared.

"Monster!" Logan points at Camille and scrambles out of bed, but trips trying to leave the room.

"Logan, it's just me," Camille says, taking off the mask.

"Cami?!" Logan says, surprised.

"Yeah, hi," Camille laughs.

"Oh my gosh, my heart is racing," Kendall pants.

Carlos and Katie come in, laughing.

"Of course, it was a prank," Logan sighs.

"Sorry, I thought it'd be a fun way to wake you up," Camille says.

"It was Carlos' idea."

"He might not make it through the night later," Kendall says, annoyed.

"I'm not mad at you, Cami," Logan says.

"Logie, you're so gullible," Carlos says.

"Sorry you were part of it, Kendall. You made it even funnier," Carlos says.

"Where's James?" Camille asks.

They hear a scream from the living room and rush to find him rushing out of the bathroom.

"What happened?" Logan asks.

"A freaky monster head popped out of the shower. Can't a guy pee in peace without losing his mind?!" James says.

"Ew," Camille says.

"James, watch your mouth," Logan says.

James just sighs.

Later that afternoon, they're all getting ready to leave for the Harvest Moon Festival. Louie comes over and is still uneasy around Kendall.

"You guys go ahead without me. I'll stay here. Louie is obviously uncomfortable around me," Kendall says.

"You're really not coming?" Louie says, surprised.

"I don't want to upset you," Kendall says.

"This isn't fair. If you stay, you won't have fun. Please come. I'm not mad at you anymore," Louie says.

"Thanks," Kendall says.

At the Harvest Moon Festival:

Logan is a Ravenclaw student from Harry Potter.

Camille is Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter (also in Ravenclaw).

Kendall is Ken from Barbie.

Jo is Barbie from Barbie.

James is James Bond.

Louie is Albert Einstein.

Katie is Jessie from Toy Story.

Tyler is Bullseye from Toy Story.

"Hey everyone!" Andy exclaims excitedly. "Check out our awesome costumes! I'm the Red Power Ranger, Steven is the cutest Elmo, Tyson is the lovable Cookie Monster, and Hannah is channeling her inner Sandy from Grease. Let's have a blast!"

"Nice costumes, but why is Hannah here?" Logan asks.

"I'm here to find my Danny Zuko," Hannah says dramatically.

"You want to be him?"

"You kidding?" Camille says.

"Sadly, no," Andy sighs, embarrassed.

"Hannah, please don't ruin Halloween for us. Dad let you come because you promised to look out for me and Steven. We don't need a babysitter, but if you care about us, be nice," he says.

"Fine," Hannah says.

"Good," Andy says.

"Hi Andy, I'm Louie," Louie says.

"Nice to meet you," Andy says.

Steven introduces himself with a firm sign, his hands moving with purpose. "Greetings, I am Steven. How are you today?"

"I am doing well, thank you," Louie responds, extending his hand in a friendly gesture. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Steven."

Andy, taken aback by Louie's fluency in sign language, inquires with genuine surprise, "Do you possess knowledge of sign language?"

Louie, his confidence unwavering, replies, "Indeed, I am proficient in sign language. May I inquire as to why this revelation surprises you? If I have unintentionally caused offense, I offer my sincerest apologies."

"No offense taken, my friend," Andy reassures him, a sense of admiration evident in his voice. "On the contrary, I am thoroughly impressed by your skill."

Louie, perplexed by Andy's statement, seeks clarification. "In what manner have I managed to impress you?"

Andy, with a hint of exasperation, explains, "You see, both Steven and I rarely encounter individuals who possess an understanding of sign language. Even our older sister, Hannah, refuses to invest the time to learn it. She believes that communicating through gestures will hinder her chances of finding a romantic partner. As if relying solely on spoken words has proven fruitful for her." Andy rolls his eyes, emphasizing his frustration with Hannah's stubbornness.

"I regret to hear about your experience. Learning sign language can be an incredibly enjoyable and intellectually stimulating endeavor," Louie remarks, his voice brimming with confidence.

Curiosity piqued, Louie inquires, "May I ask how you acquired this skill?"

Andy's eyes glimmer with reminiscence as he begins to recount his journey. "Well, it all started at a tender age. Steven, my older brother, was not speaking at all, which understandably worried our parents. Eventually, he was diagnosed with autism, and suddenly everything fell into place. It became apparent that many children on the autism spectrum struggle with verbal communication, and for a while, it seemed as though Steven would never utter a single word. Determined to assist him, I took it upon myself to delve into the world of sign language. Even at the tender age of kindergarten, I eagerly devoured countless books on the subject, absorbing every bit of knowledge I could find. I then proceeded to teach Steven this beautiful language, which he embraced wholeheartedly. However, his peers, unfortunately, failed to appreciate his uniqueness. They labeled him as the 'weird silent kid who can't speak,' a cruel moniker that devastated both of us."

Andy's voice resonates with a mixture of sadness and determination as he continues, "But I refused to let this define us. I reassured Steven that he didn't need people who couldn't appreciate his extraordinary gift. I made a solemn promise to him that I would forever be his closest companion, his unwavering support system." A warm smile graces Andy's face as he adds, "And that promise still holds true to this day."

Suddenly, Tyson, the loyal canine companion, interjects with a playful bark. Andy chuckles, his confidence unwavering, and corrects himself, "Allow me to rephrase that, Tyson. I meant to say, his best HUMAN friend."

Louie inquires, "Is he still non-verbal?"

Andy clarifies, "No, he can speak intermittently. He receives speech therapy both at school and outside of it."

Louie acknowledges, "Good to know."

Steven interjects, "Do you enjoy Sesame Street?"

Louie responds, "Yes, during my preschool and kindergarten years."

Steven inquires, "Do you like Elmo?"

Louie, perplexed by the question, replies, "Yes..."

Steven exclaims, "Yay!" as he jumps up and down and flaps his arms, a common characteristic among autistic children.

"Why would you ask that?" Louie wonders aloud, his curiosity piqued.

"Cuz he's a big fan of Sesame Street. Unfortunately, he gets teased for it," Andy explains, concern evident in his voice. "Please, let's not be mean to him."

Louie's understanding deepens as he empathizes with the situation. "No worries, Andy. I get it. I actually have some knowledge about autism," he replies.

Andy, intrigued, asks, "How did you come to know about it? Do you know someone who has autism?"

Louie takes a moment before responding, "Actually, Andy, I know about autism because I have it myself."

Andy's surprise is palpable. "You? I had no idea," he admits.

Hannah, rolls her eyes rudely saying, "Oh no, not another retarded kid."

Louie's anger begins to rise, but Logan steps in to diffuse the situation. "Chill, buddy. Take a deep breath," he advises.

Louie follows Logan's advice, taking a moment to compose himself. He then speaks calmly but firmly, "I don't know you well, and I don't particularly want to. However, I feel compelled to give you a reality check: I am not 'retarded'. I despise that word. People with autism are incredibly intelligent and have unique abilities. Individuals with special needs, especially children, deserve respect and understanding. I demand an apology, right now!"

A heavy silence hangs in the air, even Tyson, the dog, seems to sense the tension and looks annoyed.

The atmosphere was charged with tension as Hannah's voice reverberated through the room, her words dripping with disdain. "Ain't gonna happen, you clueless imbecile!" she yelled, her voice laced with a mix of anger and frustration.

Steven, feeling a surge of protectiveness towards his newfound friend, couldn't help but interject. "Stop! You're such a terrible sister!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with a blend of fear and indignation.

Hannah's eyes narrowed, her anger intensifying. "Shut up!" she retorted, her hand instinctively rising in a threatening gesture. However, before she could carry out her impulsive action, Louie swiftly intervened, his grip firmly clasping her arm.

Louie's voice resonated with authority as he addressed Hannah, his tone unwavering. "Don't you dare lay a finger on him!" he warned, his words punctuated by a sense of determination.

Taking a deep breath, Louie composed himself, his eyes locked with Hannah's. "Here's what's going to happen," he began, his voice steady and resolute. "I'm going to release my grip, and you are going to offer an immediate apology."

Hannah's defiance remained unyielding as she challenged Louie's ultimatum. "Or what? You think you can intimidate me?" she scoffed, her voice laced with defiance.

Louie's response was measured, his words carrying a sense of conviction. "No, I'm not a monster," he stated firmly, his gaze unwavering. "Even though your behavior is incredibly vexing at this moment, I refuse to resort to violence. You see, I despise bullies."

The surrounding area fell silent, the weight of Louie's words hanging in the air. The tension remained palpable, but Louie's unwavering stance against bullying served as a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and understanding.

Officer Garcia, with a perplexed expression on his face, interrupts the chaotic scene with a question that echoes through the air, "What in the world is happening here?" The decibel level of the yelling has reached an all-time high, and it seems like the perfect time for him to intervene.

Hannah, with a sly grin on her face, seizes the opportunity to play the victim card, exclaiming, "Oh, thank goodness you've arrived! They viciously attacked me!" Her acting skills are truly Oscar-worthy, or so she believes.

Andy, unable to contain his frustration any longer, lets out an exasperated sigh and facepalms. Kendall, along with the boys, Camille, and Jo, collectively roll their eyes in unison. Even Tyson, the dog, growls in response to Hannah's blatant dishonesty. It's as if the entire universe is in agreement that her story is nothing but a fabrication.

Officer Garcia, not one to be easily fooled, immediately crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly skeptical of Hannah's claims. He's seen it all before, and he knows a tall tale when he hears one.

With an air of nonchalance, Hannah continues her charade, insisting, "Oh, yes! The dog even bit me! You should definitely take him away to the pound!" Her audacity knows no bounds.

Steven, who has been silently observing the entire spectacle, tightens his grip on Tyson's leash. His eyes narrow, and a menacing glare is directed towards his sister. In a calm yet unnerving tone, he utters a single word, "Liar."

Officer Garcia, not one to shy away from delivering a dose of reality, addresses Hannah with a hint of sarcasm, "You do realize that lying to a police officer is incredibly immature, right?" His words hang in the air, heavy with the weight of truth.

Desperate to maintain her facade of innocence, Hannah desperately retorts, "I can assure you that I am not lying!" Her voice trembles slightly, betraying her desperation.

Officer Garcia, unimpressed by her feeble attempt to salvage her credibility, delivers the final blow, "Well, I can assure you that you most certainly ARE lying." His words are laced with a touch of amusement, as if he finds the entire situation rather comical. And who can blame him? It's not every day that one encounters such a masterclass in deception.

"Why don't you believe me?" Hannah asks, her voice filled with frustration.

"I want you to know that I'm not just a police officer, but also a father. And my son is right here beside you," Officer Garcia explains, trying to make his point clear.

"Wait, your dad is a cop? Why didn't you mention it before?" Hannah exclaims, surprised.

Carlos, confused by the sudden change in the conversation, asks, "Why are you getting mad at me?"

Hannah responds, "Well, if I had known, I would have acted differently!"

James interjects, "You know, you might be the most clueless fan ever. Carlos talks about his dad in so many of our interviews."

Andy chimes in, "Dad is definitely going to give you a call, Hannah. He's not happy at all."

Hannah's phone starts ringing, and she nervously answers it. She quickly pulls it away from her ear as her father's voice booms through the speaker. After a moment, she brings it back to her face to speak to him.

"Yes, sir. I understand," she says, her voice filled with resignation. She hangs up and glares at her middle brother.

"Did you want me to embarrass myself?" she asks, her anger evident.

Steven smirks and replies, "No, that was just an added bonus."

Andy, taken aback by his brother's comeback, spits out the water he's drinking, both shocked and impressed.

"Haven't you ever heard of the golden rule?" Katie asserts, her voice brimming with confidence. "It's a fundamental principle that guides our interactions with others. Treat others the way you want to be treated. It's a lesson we all learn early on, like a cherished memory from our days in kindergarten."

Tyler, taken aback by Hannah's behavior, interjects, "Yeah, you're being very mean."

Hannah, her self-assured demeanor unwavering, responds with conviction, "I am flawlessly perfect, deserving of nothing less than royal treatment."

Katie and Tyler exchange bewildered glances, utterly flabbergasted by Hannah's blatant disregard for their well-intentioned advice.

"You're still acting all high and mighty here. Newsflash, you're not that important, you entitled brat! Dad has to come all the way back just to bring your self-absorbed butt home!" Andy says.

"All he wanted was to chill at home and hand out candy to the trick or treaters, but now Mom has to do it alone!" he adds.

"Not my problem," Hannah says, rolling her eyes.

"He just yelled at you on the phone in public and you've still learned nothing!" Andy says.

"You're absolutely hopeless. Dad's stress levels from all the trouble you cause are probably at astromnomical levels."

"We've wasted an hour standing here. I'm ready for some fun." James says.

"I'll wait with Hannah in the parking lot until her dad arrives to pick her up. You kids go have fun and I'll join you later." Officer Garcia says.

"Are you sure Papi? She's really scary when she's mad." Carlos says.

"So is your mother." Officer Garcia says.

Carlos bursts out laughing knowing how true that is.

Officer Garcia escorts Hannah to the parking lot.

"What's the first?There are a lot of activities we didn't do last week." Kendall says.

"I still own a candy apple."Katie says.

"If you don't need a candy apple." Kendall says.

"It's Halloween and it's your obligation as my big brother to give me one."Katie defiantly says, raising an eyebrow.

Kendall sighs and puts his hands up in defeat.

"Come on Ken."Jo laughs referring to his costume.

"Hey don't worry if you want to party don't push it." Kendall says playfully.

Tyson happily licks his hand.

Are you still upset that Dominic ruined your last week?" Logan asked.

"Yeah what if he came back?What if he's here?" Katie says, looking around.

"See him again and Tyson will protect you," Steven says.

"Thanks, Steven. I appreciate that."Katie says.

They all walk over to the candy apple stand so Kendall can buy one.

"Here Katie. This cost me 20.00, so you better eat it all and not waste any of it. "Kendall says giving it to her.

"Thanks, but why would I waste it? You don't have to act like a dad just because ours isn't available. "Katie says.

"Seriously, why did you think it was cool to spill his secret to the whole class today? He and Logan were having a private conversation, not meant for you or anyone else to hear," Kendall says, clearly upset.

"Well, they were talking in a public place," Jett responds.

"Let me get this straight. You eavesdropped on their conversation about keeping Louie's secret from everyone, knowing he didn't want anyone to know, and then you interrupted valuable class time to expose his secret. And your defense is that it happened in a public space?!" Kendall says, his anger evident.

Jett remains silent.

Just then, Officer Garcia enters the room.

"Hey, kids! I'm so pumped for Halloween tomorrow," he says, but quickly notices the tense atmosphere.

"What's going on here?" he asks, clearly confused.

"I'm glad you're here, Papi. You need to scare the soul out of Jett. I'm pretty sure he's possessed," Carlos chimes in.

Officer Garcia looks at his son for a moment, then turns his attention to Jett and notices the bruise on his face.

"Did you get into a fight with my son and lose? Did you hurt him?" Officer Garcia asks, suspicion in his voice.

"No, sir. I didn't lay a finger on him. I never have," Jett nervously replies.

"Then who gave you that nasty bruise on your face if it wasn't Carlos?" Officer Garcia questions, growing more suspicious.

"Louie did, sir," Jett answers, gesturing towards the younger teen.

"What did you do to provoke him to hurt you?" Officer Garcia asks.

"I called him the 'R' word after revealing to the entire class that he's autistic," Jett admits.

"I've been hearing nothing but good things about Louie from Carlos. He seems like a kind and sweet kid, based on what I've heard. So, how did you find out he's autistic?" Officer Garcia inquires.

"Yesterday at Palm Woods Park, I overheard him telling Logan not to tell anyone about it, and I happened to be nearby," Jett explains.

"So, his defense is that because it happened in a public space, he had the right to blab about something that was none of his business to the whole school. And it gets worse - he insulted Miss Collins because she didn't punish Louie for punching him," Logan says.

"Jett, my son doesn't talk about you often, but when he does, all I hear are bad things about you. Mainly, it's about your behavior and how you think your popularity makes you believe you're better than him and his friends. You have this thought in your mind that you can just date Kendall's lovely girlfriend, Jo, even though she's told you countless times to stop bothering her. You tease all the younger kids, especially if you think they can't afford the latest fashion trends. You judge everyone by how their bodies look. The list goes on and on, and I'm appalled. I'm sure your parents aren't happy with you," Officer Garcia says.

"They definitely aren't," Jett says.

"I just need to know why you felt the need to tell everyone Louie's secret. It's obviously very personal information to him. What did you get out of humiliating him? Did it benefit your life to see him upset?" Officer Garcia continues to interrogate him.

"I thought it would be funny," Jett says.

"To whom?! Nobody was laughing!" James says.

"You want to know why nobody ever wants to hang out with you? Because you're a spoiled, entitled selfish egocentric arrogant jerk who doesn't care about anyone but himself!! You're annoying and mean. When you walk into a room all the oxygen dries right up!" Logan says.

"This may come as a shock to you but humans have feelings!"

"I'm very regretful of all my actions to all of you." Jett says.

"Just leave. Liars aren't welcome here." Katie says.

Jett sighs and exits the apartment.

"Wow that was intense." Officer Garcia says.

"I'm curious Louie, where did you learn to punch like that?"

"I've been taking martial arts since I was three years old. I know how to defend myself. I don't look very intimidating and I'm not confrontational but I will get physical if I have to. I don't regret punching Jett, but I really didn't think I would even need to do it. He was just getting on my nerves and crossed the line calling me that terrible word that shouldn't even exist." Louie says.

"Can't you put Jett in a scared straight program, Papi?" Carlos asks.

"That's not exactly how that works, mijo." Officer Garcia says.

"The scared straight program is for juveniles who have committed crimes."

"Jett existing is a crime in itself." Katie dryly says.

"You are on a roll tonight, Katie!" James says, laughing and high-fiving her.

"I'm gonna be staying here tonight because I want you guys to have an amazing Halloween." Officer Garcia says.

"You're the best Papi ever!" Carlos says hugging him.

"You wanna join our Mario Kart race?"

"I'm not sure I'll be good as you and Louie." Officer Garcia says.

"You don't have to be perfect sir." Louie says respectfully.

"Ok well then I'll give it a try." Officer Garcia says, picking up a controller.

Carlos exits out of the current race so his father can pick a vehicle and character. A new race starts and the good vibe in the room resumes.

After a few more hours Louie goes home and the guys and Katie go to bed.

Tuesday morning is Halloween and Carlos can't contain his excitement. He practically inhales his cereal and gets dressed for the day in his costume which is Donatello his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Katie gets up after him.

"Good morning princesa." He says, smiling.

"Good morning Carlos. Shouldn't we be quiet while your dad is asleep on the couch?" she asks.

"He's a very heavy sleeper. The man can sleep through an earthquake." Carlos says, jokingly.

"That's funny." Katie says.

"I've got an idea for a prank but he isn't the target." Carlos says.

"What's the idea?" Katie says.

"It's gonna be a prank on Logan. He gets easily scared more than anyone in here but I'm going to need Camille's help. She'll be here right about now." He says, points to the door as if on cue she walks in.

"I got the monster mask but I borrowed it from the Witches of Rowdale Drive set. My director made it very clear that I can't lose it." Camille says.

"That won't happen amiga." Carlos says.

"Just put it on to scare Logan. It'll be hilarious."

"Ok. I'm so up for that." Camille says, putting on the mask and walking into the bedroom. Kendall and Logan are both softly snoring.

"Logan wake up." she gently says, holding in her laugh.

"Pluto isn't a real planet." Logan mumbles but doesn't wake up.

Camille leans in close to his face and in a deep demonic voice goes, "WAKE UP!"

Logan slowly opens his eyes, then widens them and screams, making Kendall scream too.

"What's going on?!" the tall blonde says, confused and still scared.

"Monster!" Logan points at Camille and scrambles out of bed, but trips trying to leave the room.

"Logan, it's just me," Camille says, taking off the mask.

"Cami?!" Logan says, surprised.

"Yeah, hi," Camille laughs.

"Oh my gosh, my heart is racing," Kendall pants.

Carlos and Katie come in, laughing.

"Of course, it was a prank," Logan sighs.

"Sorry, I thought it'd be a fun way to wake you up," Camille says.

"It was Carlos' idea."

"He might not make it through the night later," Kendall says, annoyed.

"I'm not mad at you, Cami," Logan says.

"Logie, you're so gullible," Carlos says.

"Sorry you were part of it, Kendall. You made it even funnier," Carlos says.

"Where's James?" Camille asks.

They hear a scream from the living room and rush to find him rushing out of the bathroom.

"What happened?" Logan asks.

"A freaky monster head popped out of the shower. Can't a guy pee in peace without losing his mind?!" James says.

"Ew," Camille says.

"James, watch your mouth," Logan says.

James just sighs.

Later that afternoon, they're all getting ready to leave for the Harvest Moon Festival. Louie comes over and is still uneasy around Kendall.

"You guys go ahead without me. I'll stay here. Louie is obviously uncomfortable around me," Kendall says.

"You're really not coming?" Louie says, surprised.

"I don't want to upset you," Kendall says.

"This isn't fair. If you stay, you won't have fun. Please come. I'm not mad at you anymore," Louie says.

"Thanks," Kendall says.

At the Harvest Moon Festival:

Logan is a Ravenclaw student from Harry Potter.

Camille is Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter (also in Ravenclaw).

Kendall is Ken from Barbie.

Jo is Barbie from Barbie.

James is James Bond.

Louie is Albert Einstein.

"Hey everyone!" Andy exclaims excitedly. "Check out our awesome costumes! I'm the Red Power Ranger, Steven is the cutest Elmo, Tyson is the lovable Cookie Monster, and Hannah is channeling her inner Sandy from Grease. Let's have a blast!"

"Nice costumes, but why is Hannah here?" Logan asks.

"I'm here to find my Danny Zuko," Hannah says dramatically.

"You want to be him?"

"You kidding?" Jo says.

"Sadly, no," Andy sighs, embarrassed.

"Hannah, please don't ruin Halloween for us. Dad let you come because you promised to look out for me and Steven. We don't need a babysitter, but if you care about us, be nice," he says.

"Fine," Hannah says.

"Good," Andy says.

"Hi Andy, I'm Louie," Louie says.

"Nice to meet you," Andy says.

Steven introduces himself with a firm sign, his hands moving with purpose. "Greetings, I am Steven. How are you today?"

"I am doing well, thank you," Louie responds, extending his hand in a friendly gesture. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Steven."

Andy, taken aback by Louie's fluency in sign language, inquires with genuine surprise, "Do you possess knowledge of sign language?"

Louie, his confidence unwavering, replies, "Indeed, I am proficient in sign language. May I inquire as to why this revelation surprises you? If I have unintentionally caused offense, I offer my sincerest apologies."

"No offense taken, my friend," Andy reassures him, a sense of admiration evident in his voice. "On the contrary, I am thoroughly impressed by your skill."

Louie, perplexed by Andy's statement, seeks clarification. "In what manner have I managed to impress you?"

Andy, with a hint of exasperation, explains, "You see, both Steven and I rarely encounter individuals who possess an understanding of sign language. Even our older sister, Hannah, refuses to invest the time to learn it. She believes that communicating through gestures will hinder her chances of finding a romantic partner. As if relying solely on spoken words has proven fruitful for her." Andy rolls his eyes, emphasizing his frustration with Hannah's stubbornness.

"I regret to hear about your experience. Learning sign language can be an incredibly enjoyable and intellectually stimulating endeavor," Louie remarks, his voice brimming with confidence.

Curiosity piqued, Louie inquires, "May I ask how you acquired this skill?"

Andy's eyes glimmer with reminiscence as he begins to recount his journey. "Well, it all started at a tender age. Steven, my older brother, was not speaking at all, which understandably worried our parents. Eventually, he was diagnosed with autism, and suddenly everything fell into place. It became apparent that many children on the autism spectrum struggle with verbal communication, and for a while, it seemed as though Steven would never utter a single word. Determined to assist him, I took it upon myself to delve into the world of sign language. Even at the tender age of kindergarten, I eagerly devoured countless books on the subject, absorbing every bit of knowledge I could find. I then proceeded to teach Steven this beautiful language, which he embraced wholeheartedly. However, his peers, unfortunately, failed to appreciate his uniqueness. They labeled him as the 'weird silent kid who can't speak,' a cruel moniker that devastated both of us."

Andy's voice resonates with a mixture of sadness and determination as he continues, "But I refused to let this define us. I reassured Steven that he didn't need people who couldn't appreciate his extraordinary gift. I made a solemn promise to him that I would forever be his closest companion, his unwavering support system." A warm smile graces Andy's face as he adds, "And that promise still holds true to this day."

Suddenly, Tyson, the loyal canine companion, interjects with a playful bark. Andy chuckles, his confidence unwavering, and corrects himself, "Allow me to rephrase that, Tyson. I meant to say, his best HUMAN friend."

Louie inquires, "Is he still non-verbal?"

Andy clarifies, "No, he can speak intermittently. He receives speech therapy both at school and outside of it."

Louie acknowledges, "Good to know."

Steven interjects, "Do you enjoy Sesame Street?"

Louie responds, "Yes, during my preschool and kindergarten years."

Steven inquires, "Do you like Elmo?"

Louie, perplexed by the question, replies, "Yes..."

Steven exclaims, "Yay!" as he jumps up and down and flaps his arms, a common characteristic among autistic children.

"Why would you ask that?" Louie wonders aloud, his curiosity piqued.

"Cuz he's a big fan of Sesame Street. Unfortunately, he gets teased for it," Andy explains, concern evident in his voice. "Please, let's not be mean to him."

Louie's understanding deepens as he empathizes with the situation. "No worries, Andy. I get it. I actually have some knowledge about autism," he replies.

Andy, intrigued, asks, "How did you come to know about it? Do you know someone who has autism?"

Louie takes a moment before responding, "Actually, Andy, I know about autism because I have it myself."

Andy's surprise is palpable. "You? I had no idea," he admits.

Hannah, rolls her eyes rudely saying, "Oh no, not another retarded kid."

Louie's anger begins to rise, but Logan steps in to diffuse the situation. "Chill, buddy. Take a deep breath," he advises.

Louie follows Logan's advice, taking a moment to compose himself. He then speaks calmly but firmly, "I don't know you well, and I don't particularly want to. However, I feel compelled to give you a reality check: I am not 'retarded'. I despise that word. People with autism are incredibly intelligent and have unique abilities. Individuals with special needs, especially children, deserve respect and understanding. I demand an apology, right now!"

A heavy silence hangs in the air, even Tyson, the dog, seems to sense the tension and looks annoyed.

The atmosphere was charged with tension as Hannah's voice reverberated through the room, her words dripping with disdain. "Ain't gonna happen, you clueless imbecile!" she yelled, her voice laced with a mix of anger and frustration.

Steven, feeling a surge of protectiveness towards his newfound friend, couldn't help but interject. "Stop! You're such a terrible sister!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with a blend of fear and indignation.

Hannah's eyes narrowed, her anger intensifying. "Shut up!" she retorted, her hand instinctively rising in a threatening gesture. However, before she could carry out her impulsive action, Louie swiftly intervened, his grip firmly clasping her arm.

Louie's voice resonated with authority as he addressed Hannah, his tone unwavering.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on him!" he warned, his words punctuated by a sense of determination.

Taking a deep breath, Louie composed himself, his eyes locked with Hannah's. "Here's what's going to happen," he began, his voice steady and resolute. "I'm going to release my grip, and you are going to offer an immediate apology."

Hannah's defiance remained unyielding as she challenged Louie's ultimatum. "Or what? You think you can intimidate me?" she scoffed, her voice laced with defiance.

Louie's response was measured, his words carrying a sense of conviction. "No, I'm not a monster," he stated firmly, his gaze unwavering. "Even though your behavior is incredibly vexing at this moment, I refuse to resort to violence. You see, I despise bullies."

The surrounding area fell silent, the weight of Louie's words hanging in the air. The tension remained palpable, but Louie's unwavering stance against bullying served as a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and understanding.

Officer Garcia, with a perplexed expression on his face, interrupts the chaotic scene with a question that echoes through the air, "What in the world is happening here?" The decibel level of the yelling has reached an all-time high, and it seems like the perfect time for him to intervene.

Hannah, with a sly grin on her face, seizes the opportunity to play the victim card, exclaiming, "Oh, thank goodness you've arrived! They viciously attacked me!" Her acting skills are truly Oscar-worthy, or so she believes.

Andy, unable to contain his frustration any longer, lets out an exasperated sigh and facepalms. Kendall, along with the boys, Camille, and Jo, collectively roll their eyes in unison. Even Tyson, the dog, growls in response to Hannah's blatant dishonesty. It's as if the entire universe is in agreement that her story is nothing but a fabrication.

Officer Garcia, not one to be easily fooled, immediately crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly skeptical of Hannah's claims. He's seen it all before, and he knows a tall tale when he hears one.

With an air of nonchalance, Hannah continues her charade, insisting, "Oh, yes! The dog even bit me! You should definitely take him away to the pound!" Her audacity knows no bounds.

Steven, who has been silently observing the entire spectacle, tightens his grip on Tyson's leash. His eyes narrow, and a menacing glare is directed towards his sister. In a calm yet unnerving tone, he utters a single word, "Liar."

Officer Garcia, not one to shy away from delivering a dose of reality, addresses Hannah with a hint of sarcasm, "You do realize that lying to a police officer is incredibly immature, right?" His words hang in the air, heavy with the weight of truth.

Desperate to maintain her facade of innocence, Hannah desperately retorts, "I can assure you that I am not lying!" Her voice trembles slightly, betraying her desperation.

Officer Garcia, unimpressed by her feeble attempt to salvage her credibility, delivers the final blow, "Well, I can assure you that you most certainly ARE lying." His words are laced with a touch of amusement, as if he finds the entire situation rather comical. And who can blame him? It's not every day that one encounters such a masterclass in deception.

"Why don't you believe me?" Hannah asks, her voice filled with frustration.

"I want you to know that I'm not just a police officer, but also a father. And my son is right here beside you," Officer Garcia explains, trying to make his point clear.

"Wait, your dad is a cop? Why didn't you mention it before?" Hannah exclaims, surprised.

Carlos, confused by the sudden change in the conversation, asks, "Why are you getting mad at me?"

Hannah responds, "Well, if I had known, I would have acted differently!"

James interjects, "You know, you might be the most clueless fan ever. Carlos talks about his dad in so many of our interviews."

Andy chimes in, "Dad is definitely going to give you a call, Hannah. He's not happy at all."

Hannah's phone starts ringing, and she nervously answers it. She quickly pulls it away from her ear as her father's voice booms through the speaker. After a moment, she brings it back to her face to speak to him.

"Yes, sir. I understand," she says, her voice filled with resignation. She hangs up and glares at her middle brother.

"Did you want me to embarrass myself?" she asks, her anger evident.

Steven smirks and replies, "No, that was just an added bonus."

Andy, taken aback by his brother's comeback, spits out the water he's drinking, both shocked and impressed.

"Haven't you ever heard of the golden rule?" Katie asserts, her voice brimming with confidence. "It's a fundamental principle that guides our interactions with others. Treat others the way you want to be treated. It's a lesson we all learn early on, like a cherished memory from our days in kindergarten."

Tyler, taken aback by Hannah's behavior, interjects, "Yeah, you're being very mean."

Hannah, her self-assured demeanor unwavering, responds with conviction, "I am flawlessly perfect, deserving of nothing less than royal treatment."

Katie and Tyler exchange bewildered glances, utterly flabbergasted by Hannah's blatant disregard for their well-intentioned advice.

"You're still acting all high and mighty here. Newsflash, you're not that important, you entitled brat! Dad has to come all the way back just to bring your self-absorbed butt home!" Andy says.

"All he wanted was to chill at home and hand out candy to the trick or treaters, but now Mom has to do it alone!" he adds.

"Not my problem," Hannah says, rolling her eyes.

"He just yelled at you on the phone in public and you've still learned nothing!" Andy says.

"You're absolutely hopeless. Dad's stress levels from all the trouble you cause are probably at astromnomical levels." he adds.

"We've wasted an hour standing here. I'm ready for some fun." James says.

"I'll wait with Hannah in the parking lot until her dad arrives to pick her up. You kids go have fun and I'll join you later." Officer Garcia says.

"Are you sure Papi? She's really scary when she's mad." Carlos says.

"So is your mother." Officer Garcia says.

Carlos bursts out laughing knowing how true that is.

Officer Garcia escorts Hannah to the parking lot.

"What's the first?There are a lot of activities we didn't do last week." Kendall says.

"I still own a candy apple."Katie says.

"If you don't need a candy apple." Kendall says.

"It's Halloween and it's your obligation as my big brother to give me one."Katie defiantly says, raising an eyebrow.

Kendall sighs and puts his hands up in defeat.

"Come on Ken."Jo laughs referring to his costume.

"Hey don't worry if you want to party don't push it." Kendall says playfully.

Tyson happily licks his hand.

Are you still upset that Dominic ruined your last week?" Logan asked.

"Yeah what if he came back?What if he's here?" Katie says, looking around.

"See him again and Tyson will protect you," Steven says.

"Thanks, Steven. I appreciate that." Katie says.

They all walk over to the candy apple stand so Kendall can buy one.

"Here Katie. This cost me 20.00, so you better eat it all and not waste any of it. "Kendall says giving it to her.

"Thanks, but why would I waste it? You don't have to act like a dad just because ours isn't available. "Katie says.

"I know that," Kendall says.

Katie finishes her candy apple by the time Officer Garcia returns.

Steven signs to Louie, "Decorate pumpkins, my friend?"

"Yes I do," Louie signs, excitement to transcend.

Together they create, their artistic minds in sync,

Bringing life to pumpkins, a masterpiece to think.

"Wow, these are looking amazing. All of you are so creative." Officer Garcia says.

"Join in on the fun, Papi," Carlos says.

"I won't be good enough. Art isn't my thing," Officer Garcia replies, feeling uncertain about his abilities.

Carlos chuckles, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Don't be so hard on yourself, Papi. Art is about self-expression and enjoying the process. It's not about being perfect or meeting any specific standards."

He ponder his words, realizing that maybe he's been too focused on the end result rather than the joy of creating. Carlos has always had a way of making things seem less intimidating and more accessible.

"But what if I mess up?" Officer Garcia asks, still hesitant.

Carlos smiles warmly. "Making mistakes is a part of the artistic journey, Papi. They are opportunities for growth and learning. Besides, sometimes the most beautiful and unique creations emerge from what we initially perceive as mistakes."

His words resonate with his dad, gradually easing his doubts. Perhaps it's time to let go of your fear of failure and embrace the artistic adventure that awaits.

"Alright," Officer Garcia finally says, a newfound determination in his voice. "I'll give it a try. Who knows, maybe art will become my thing after all."

Carlos beams with excitement, ready to embark on this creative endeavor with his dad.

When they finish decorating their pumpkins they put them in Officer Garcia's car.

"We should go to the inflatable slide next," Andy suggests happily.

"That looks like, fun," Camille says.

Katie exclaims with excitement, "Let's race to it!"

They all run as fast as possible, laughing. Steven accidentally bumps into somebody after tripping.

When he sees who it is, he scrambles to get up and runs back to Andy and the others.

"Whoa, what's wrong Stevie?" Andy asks, concerned about him.

Steven quickly signs, "Dominic is right there!"

"What did he say?" James asks.

"Dominic is right there," Andy answers.

"Well, well, well, look who's back." Dominic says, frowning.

"We don't want any trouble." Andy bravely says.

He remembers their rough encounter from last week.

"Trouble is exciting. That mutt will be mine!" Dominic says pointing to Tyson.

"No!" Steven says firmly.

"Don't start something you can't finish. Just walk away." Logan kindly suggests.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Dominic yells, shoving Logan down.

"That's enough, young man!" Officer Garcia says firmly, with an authoritative tone.

"I wasn't talking to you, pig!" Dominic aggressively shouts.

Kendall and James struggled to hold back Carlos, who fiercely wanted to defend his dad.

"Carlitos, calm down. It's just a word," Logan says. "Let me go, let me go!" Carlos shouts angrily as Kendall and James hold an iron grip on his arms.

"Dominic, I've heard really bad things about you from my son. I don't appreciate the word you just called me. Walk away immediately after apologizing," Officer Garcia says firmly.

"No, you're not my dad. I don't have to listen to you," Dominic says.

Officer Garcia's face contorted with anger. He took a step forward, towering over Dominic. "I'm not your dad, but I'm an officer of the law and you will respect my authority. Apologize and walk away - now!"
