Plot

Sean volunteers to referee Henry's soccer team and ends up making an unethical decision in the team's favor, which in hindsight was not a great idea, when Henry gets an inflated ego. So Sean tries to put things right the following week by making an unethical decision in the opposing team's favor. Meanwhile, Lily flirts with the cute guy at the concession stand and the conversation leaves her walking on air. But when she starts to obsess over the introduction, she replays the scene over and over in her head, each time thinking that she made a bigger and bigger fool of herself.
