Calli is having trouble getting along with Cherish, the foster child her moms have welcomed into the family home. When an argument between the girls escalates into a physical altercation, Cherish is taken to a juvenile center. Calli feels guilty and wonders if it's too late to clear the air. Though her introspection weighs down the plot, Calli's redemption is rewarding (if not suprising).
