They decide to just start planning the regatta in hopes that their dads reconcile beforehand. Luckily, that means that they're spending plenty of time together. They even bake some cake pops and he touches her face a dozen times. They carve up a giant pumpkin and have a pumpkin guts fight which leads to him taking his shirt off.
They go to get a bite to eat and they talk about their feelings and they almost kiss but pull back - they're keeping this professional!
So the planning is in full force but they keep having to hide it from their dads because they're still not interested in patching things up.
They're setting up for the race and Ethan shoots his shot and they kiss big ones! Her dad walks up and goes WHOA! He finds out that she's been planning the regatta without his knowledge. He's not thrilled. In fact, he's disappointed.
The next day, the dads end up making up. The race is on!!!

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Five months into Thaddeus Ross' presidency, Sam Wilson is settling into life as the new Captain America — and he's already got his hands full. After a mission in Mexico, Sam and the newly minted Falcon, Joaquin Torres, recover stolen government tech. Joaquin is thrilled to be taking on the Falcon mantle, while Sam is a little more hesitant about putting him in harm's way. After all, neither of them has actual superpowers.
Sam and Joaquin soon find themselves invited to a White House summit with President Ross. Ross wants to prevent a global arms race and proposes an international treaty. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Of course not.
During the summit, several men — including super soldier Isaiah Bradley — suddenly open fire on Ross and other world leaders. The attackers are captured, but none of them have any idea why they did it.
Joaquin tracks a phone call back to Camp Echo One, a secret government facility in West Virginia. There, they discover Dr. Samuel Sterns, a scientist who has been imprisoned by Ross for years. Sterns gained enhanced intelligence after being exposed to Bruce Banner's blood during the Abomination's rampage in Harlem, and he's been using his genius — along with "Mr. Blue" and some mind-control technology — to manipulate people.
As they race to stop Sterns, they discover his real goal: destroy Ross' reputation by turning the president's own secrets against him. And Ross has plenty of secrets. He's dying from heart failure and has been taking pills created by Sterns to keep himself alive. Ross refused to release Sterns because he needed those pills, which gave Sterns a pretty big reason to want revenge. Turns out the pills he's been giving Ross have been pumping gamma radiation into his body.
Sterns eventually turns himself over to Sam, but his arrest and his connection to Ross are revealed publicly during a press conference. Ross completely loses control and transforms into the Red Hulk, destroying part of the White House in the process.
Sam manages to fight Ross long enough to get through to him. Ross finally comes back to himself.
Isaiah Bradley is officially exonerated and Ross resigns before voluntarily being imprisoned.
And just when you thought everything was wrapped up nicely, Sterns has one last warning for Sam: something is coming from other worlds.

Next thing you know, she's in a car driving and arrives at this big house. She walks in, constantly saying hello but no one answers. It's Cassie and she finally finds her old friend Amber. Cassie decides to leave but before she can, Nico shows up. All of these folks are former friends and they all received the same letter. But that's not everyone - Trey and his girlfriend, Dax who just wants to sit in the corner and draw, and a couple other people whose names I didn't catch. They all know each other but then some dude named Sam shows up and no one really knows who he is but he also got the same invite.
They all talk about how what happened last year was just bad luck. The power turns off, so Trey goes outside to figure out where the breaker box is. When he gets the lights back on, Santa is there and stabs him through the neck. See ya Trey.
Everyone's keys are missing, so that's not good.
We finally find out what happened - they left their friend out to freeze in the cold.
Santa strikes again and this time kills a girl while she's working out.
People start dropping left and right. It finally comes out that Amber is the killer, alongside the guy that no one recognized. Turns out, Amber was in love with the girl who died. Cassie fights her off and is able to kill her and win the day.
