Tue, Oct 8, 200221 mins

Frank struggles to keep a secret while Irulan doesn't even try. Steven is sheepish but innocent in the whole scenario. Alton finds himself picking up the pieces, effectively establishing his role as the adult of the house. The girls deal with a predatory supervisor while the whole crew get a crash course in the hard work behind the Las Vegas entertainment scene. This is an introduction to their jobs at the casino, and the accountability for poor performance. An apprenticeship. Loose words and casually-hurtful talk among the housemates inject tension into the home. The first meaningful confrontation occurs among crew members. The cast are given the opportunity to learn about life, work, and how to make money doing what you love while staying professional. Topics of sexual harassment bordering are addressed. These depiction represent progressive morality in the early 2000s, and helpfully illustrate to a young audience how to recognize and address inappropriate behavior from friends, bosses, and authority figures. Dignity and respect for others and oneself are a theme throughout. Integrating differences in style and maturity of communication are a consistent overtone.
