Erica, 8, returns home from school where her sister, Taryn, 16, is alone. She informs Erica that a boy is coming over and demands that she stay out of the way. Erica ignores her sister and places herself at the center of the 'date,' refusing to leave the two teens alone. When Taryn changes her strategy and makes her appeal more gently, Erica finally lets them go upstairs alone. Her attention is increasingly drawn to the couple, shut away upstairs. She gives in to her curiosity and peeks through the doorway to see something she can't quite understand. As Andrew leaves, Erica runs after him and misguidedly defends her sister in a stand-off.
