Peter and Darcy are spending more time together but must hide their relationship from friends and family. Once one of Darcy's friends spots Peter and Darcy together in the park, after blowing her off, she goes straight to Peter's mother. Peter and Darcy will now have to endure a forced separation because Peter's parents have decided to send him away to Boarding School. Marco is on edge after Dylan has left to join a Swiss Hockey team. To keep him preoccupied he starts playing on-line poker and starts winning. Spinner sees the tension in Marco and suggests that they go on a vacation. To earn the money Marco starts playing in a poker game with Jay and his garage buds. After his first win he feels confident but that doesn't last when his next game goes bust and he looses $1100. Since he is in the whole he steals money from his father and plays another game in Spinner and Jimmy's store. Because Marco doesn't know the code for the alarm he and the other guys arrested for trespassing and Spinner is mad at Marco.

Okay, and your receipt's
in the bag.

Sale's on all week.
Spread the word, huh?

One-six-three-seven.
You have 20 seconds to punch it in.

You got that, Marco?

Huh? Yeah, yeah,
I got that, Pop. Thanks.

Getting robbed once was enough,
you know?

And the new signage looks great,
Mr. D. R.

Cash only, right?
- Hey, you can't trust banks.

Service fees, low interest -
talk about getting robbed.

Hey, me and Uncle Louie
are gonna play the ponies.

You boys wanna come
when you close up?



- Yeah!
- No, not tonight.

You know, sometimes
you worry me, Marco.

This is life. You gotta live it.

- Dude, come on,

you've been Johnny Longface
all week.

Oh, so it's been a week
since Dylan left?

'Cause, you know,
with constant phone tagging,

no emails, it's like - poof -

my boyfriend just disappeared
off the face of the Earth.

Last I heard,
Sweden was on Earth.

- For the last time - Switzerland.
- Whatever.

Look, Dylan's got practice
every day,

road trips with the team,
workouts with the team...

- Long, hot showers with the team.



Dude, you have
an actively gay imagination.

Spin, do you have any idea
how hard it is

to go from always having someone
there to being totally... alone?

Look, when Dylan was here,
nobody ever saw you.

You two just played house 24I7.

Don't hermit-out with your laptop
now that he's gone.

- Ah, whatever, buddy!

I just won 200 bucks!

Are you finished with your lecture?

- Hey, Dylan,

it's in the middle of the night,
your time.

Calling you, so call me back.
Love you. Bye.

- Hey, Marco. Spin.

How's fortress Squatch Designs?

- The alarm's armed and ready.

What's with the hush-hush?

Well, when Ellie gave me
the green light to date her ex,

I'd say
she was just a touch colour blind.

- I heard that!

If Jesse calls,
I'll be hiding in my room.

Ooh, fun times
at the Del Rossi-Michalchuk-Nash-

Tanaka-Ochi abode.

- Spin, this is driving me nuts.

Dude, come on,
you're coopered up inside.

It's cold, wet, winter yuck out there.
You need a change of scenery.

- Know what, bud?

You're right. You're right!

What's the opposite
of cold, wet winter yuck?

- Hot, dry, summer... yum?

- Exactly. So...

I'm thinking vaycay.
Me, you - Daytona Beach!

- Daytona?!
- Yeah!

I-I would have expected Sweden -
Switzerland -

to visit your Swiss-ter Mister.

- For what?

It's a long-distance relationship,
Spin.

Emphasis on distance.

He's having fun.
I just... I wanna have mine.

- Spring break, eh?

- Yeah.

- Hotties on toppa hotties?

That, my friend, is yum.

- What?

Dude, every cent I had
went into the store.

- No, no. Don't worry.

I have a plan.

- Wait - this is your plan?

Playing online poker?

- Got a better one? Oh!

Yes!

Yes, he folded! I win again! Yes!

- I'm reading Chekhov over here!

- Sorry, Ellie!

Guys, let's hit a club.
Come on, it's on me.

- What about our trip money?
- I'll win more. It's what I do!

Ah, thanks, guys,
for hanging out tonight.

I needed this.
- Ah, no probs, man.

Me and Spin can study
for our test next week.

- Yo, gangstas, what's the haps?

Just celebrating
Marco's big online poker score.

You must be quite the shark,
Del Rossi.

Well, I used to play
with my boyfriend.

- Yes, you're gay. Super.

You wanna make some real coin,

me and the guys at work
have a little something going on.

- Define \x22a little something.\x22
- Texas Hold 'em.

Twenty bucks gets you in the door,
100 bucks gets you in the game.

Our charity turkey dinner gave
over 100 people a hot, tasty meal.

And we're organizing another event
for the end-of-semester dance.

So... suggestions, anyone?

- Um... used-glasses drive?
- Great idea, Neckman.

- Darcy, my mom's asking for you.

It's actually kind of important.

I'd better not keep
the boss lady waiting.

I lied.
- Oh, really?

Screw my mom's
\x22no girlfriends' policy.\x22

I've been thinking about you
all week.

- Someone might see us.

- It's the key to my heart.

Don't say where you got it.
It can be our secret.

- It's... adorable, Peter.

Thanks.

Lots more closet space
in my room.

Ellie, I know you had your eye
on Dylan's room,

but he gave it to me.
- Well, we should've had a vote.

- Not a big fan of democracy, hon.

Marco, tell her you don't mind
if I take Dylan's room.

Don't let Princess Always Gets
Her Way bully you, manipulate you.

She has a way with men.
- You and Jesse broke up!

- Yeah - just! Marco, tell her...

- Shut up!

I'm not gonna referee
your catfights -

about the room, or Jesse,

or anything!

Just work it out yourselves!

Get me outta here.

Okay, Monday minds,
last week we started talking

about online community moderation.

Any thoughts? Is it good?

Bad?
- It's censorship.

It's about keeping the Internet
safe for everybody.

Who gets to decide what's safe
and what's not, Kim. You?

I'm not surprised you'd say that.
You only care about yourself.

Yeah, well, you only care
about what people think of you.

- At least I have a conscience.

At least I can think for myself.
Submit to peer pressure much?

- Guys...
- Submit to ugliness, much?

- Can you tell through that eye-fat?
- Eye-fat? That is SO pathetic.

- Seriously, enough.

Thank you.

Here.
Float our poker dreams on this.

- And if we lose?

- We won't. I know what I'm doing.

Dude, it's not money in the bank.
Jay's friends are poker ninjas.

Yeah, exactly.
That's what makes it fun.

High risk, high reward.

Coming from you?
That's bonkers.

Spin, you and Jimmy
opened up a store, alright?

Ellie hooked up with her boss.

Even flame-out Paige
is starting over.

And Dylan - Dylan is off
on his European hockey adventure.

What have I done?

- Kept your marks up!
- Oh!

Oh-ho-ho, wow.

Whoop-tee-doo!

I'm mashed potatoes, man.

I'm boring. And I'm bored.

I just... I need a rush.

Come on.

- How'd you get in here?
- Tell you a secret? It's never locked.

Oh, next time we're fake fighting,

could you tone down
the \x22you're ugly\x22 stuff?

- You said I have eye fat!
- It was all I could think of.

Your eyes are beautiful.
- And you're not ugly, stupid.

- Peter Stone,

I wonder if your mom
would like to hear about this.

Fold.

- Ah... me, too.

Can't lose
what you don't put in, right?

- Can't win much, either.

Raise 100.

- Going Vegas on me, boss?

- Alright, let's double it.

- Aggressive.

I'm in.

I'm all in.

You with me?

- Well, if you can't spot the sucker,

you are the sucker.

- Question is, what's his tell?

If you figure it out,
you let me know.

- It's all yours, boss.

- Yes!

Money for nothing!

- This is how it works:

we get a chance to win it back.

Tomorrow.
- Alright,

if you wanna keep
giving me your money,

I'm gonna gladly keep taking it.
- Daytona!

- Oh, uh, hello.

Marco left a message.

Some urgent need to \x22rage\x22?

- Oh, there's been raging.

- Hey, fun patrol's here!

No catfighting tonight, ladies.
Promise?

- Yeah, fine. What is up?

- I am, babe!

Tonight, I am so wired!

He pretty well bankrupted
these hardcore poker dudes.

I had them
eating out of my hand!

- Look at you, Mr. High Roller.
- Next stop, the Matador!

Come on, vamoose!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The after-hours club?
I can't. I have an essay.

Ellie! You can't find love
in an essay! You gotta live!

And I got a test.
Come on, put it away.

Spin, we're rich!
We're celebrating!

I'm happy!
What's the problem here?

- You, dude. You're being an ass.

Spin, this is the first time
I've had fun in ages!

And it's all thanks to my triple \x22P.\x22

Perfect poker partner!

Come on, man, let's just roll with it,
see how much we can make! Please!

- I fold again.

Surprise.

- Raise at 50.

Shark boy?

- Funny thing about poker.

Nobody remembers
how you built their fortune,

just how you lost it.

We're making memories tonight,
right, boss?

Call.

- I think I'm gonna go another 50.

Marco?

- I'm all in.
- Dude,

that's everything!

- Yeah, not this time, bluff-meister.

I'll see you.

Let's have 'em.

- You are toast, shark boy!

Yes!

Okay, it's fine, it's fine.
I, um...

I just... I need a loan

to buy back in.

I'll win it back.

- How much?

- Uh...

- What the hell is going on?

- Hey, Tony, you want in?
- Don't get smart.

You guys wanna keep your jobs,
this ends now.

Everybody, out!

- Look, everybody goes bust, okay?

My luck will turn. Just trust me.

- Trust you?!

Marco, you just lost $1,100!

Kiss it goodbye.

I did.

What?
What about our trip, man?

The hotties?
- Dude, it's over.

Go home,
watch TV with your dad.

Maybe he can talk
some sense into you.

You've just got to stop.

- Hey, Pop.
- Hey, son.

Can't stay away
from your mom's cooking, eh?

How'd you and uncle Louie do
at the track?

- We had fun.

- Did you guys win any money?

- We had fun, Marco. Why?

No, no,
just making conversation.

- Yeah?

You know what goes with that?

Some of your mom's
homemade cannelloni.

She put some in the freezer
before she went to bingo.

Nah, nah, sit.

- E-mailing your boyfriend?
- Very funny, Kim.

I'm just kidding. All set to work
on our drama project after school?

Oh, um... I have
a grandma's-birthday thing.

Can we reschedule?

- Fine.

That's the last time
I cancel majorette's for you.

- Anyone see you?
- No.

Not that this
is the perfect hiding place.

How sneaky did you have to be?

Darce...
I'm sorry it has to be like this -

sneaking around, lying...

What we're doing
isn't really bad.

It's kinda fun.

You're fun.

- So are you.

So much...

fun.

- Darcy?!

- Kim?!

Wish your grandma
a happy birthday for me.

- Oh... sugar.

- If I win this hand,

I'll buy everyone a T-shirt.

- I must say, Mr. Del Rossi,

you have some nice digs here.
No girlfriends,

no grease-monkey bosses.

Could be a regular gig, huh?
- Right...

If anybody finds out
we're using the store,

I'm dead. Call.

Ooh.

Raise 100.

There's no way you got
the straight flush, bluff-meister.

- Well, beautiful thing is,

there's no such thing
as a locked hand.

- So, Jake, you in or you out?

- I'm in, boss.

What's going on?!

We got a break and enter call.
- No, no, no.

Must be some mistake -
I work here.

No, just let me finish this hand!
- Game's over, fellas.

- Are you kidding me?!

Don't you guys have some murder
you could be solving?

You're under arrest
for trespassing.

- What are you doing?

- Maybe if you answered your phone,

returned my messages?

- Kim tattled to my mom.

Kim should mind
her own beeswax.

There's nothing wrong
with us being together.

- We're not going to be together.

My parents are talking about
sending me to boarding school.

- What?! She can't!
- She also said

if you know what's good for you,
you'll keep your distance.

Your mom can't keep us apart,
Peter.

Do you believe
that love conquers all?

- I don't think it's gonna be enough.

There's always something
in our way.

I'll be at our secret place
tomorrow.

Prove to me
that you're not the type to give up.

Spinner! Spinner! Thank God.
Tell her... tell her that I...

- What is going on here, Marco?
- Dude, I pressed the alarm code.

It didn't even go off!
- It's a silent alarm, idiot.

- This a friend of yours?
- He's a part-time employee.

- With permission to be here?

- No.

- I'm gonna have to take him in.

Come on.

- If they're sending me away,

I have nothing to lose.
Except you.

- Peter...

you've got me.

- Ellie let me in.

Uncle Louie talked
to his cop buddy at 54.

You had trouble at the store?

Yeah, I was hoping
you wouldn't find out about that.

Yeah, well, uncle Louie
mentioned a poker game.

The police
confiscated the money,

so I have a bunch of mechanics
for enemies now,

but Spinner dropped
the trespassing charges.

It's fine.

- I guess you're lucky.

So... do you know anything
about the $600 I'm missing?

- I was in the hole, Dad.

- Marco... how could you?!

- I needed it.

Come on, you know how it is.
You gamble every weekend.

- Marco, you stole from family!

Are you in trouble
or something, Marco?

Is there something
you're not telling me?

- No! I...

It's Dylan, Dad.

Well, how's Dylan the problem,
Marco?

- I feel empty without him, Dad.

I'm lost.

He's my boyfriend.

- You think I'm stupid?

- No. 'Course not.

Y-you abused your friends
and your family...

because playing cards
was more important!

No matter what Dylan is to you,
he's not a part of this

and you know that!

- I'm done.

I'm done with it, okay?

I promise.

But I understand

if you hate me for it.

- Marco...

you're my son.

I'm gonna watch you.

Just...

... go to school.

And if you have any honour,

you'll come see me at the shop.

To work off what you stole.

People leave, Marco.

You have to live your own life.
