Brady and Rachel have breakfast at the Brady Pub before her field trip to the aquarium. Ava comes over and says Hi. Ava asks Rachel what her favorite fish is. She says an Orca like in Free Willy. Brady tells her that orcas aren't fish but mammals. Rachel changes her answer to goldfish.

Ava spies John entering the Pub and makes a quick exit. John joins Brady and Rachel. Rachel is thrilled to see him. John says Brady has shared that she's doing really well in school, especially in science. Rachel says she also won the class spelling bee last week. John is impressed.

Rachel goes to see Riley's big sister, who is also in the Pub allowing Brady and John to talk alone. John is thrilled to see his granddaughter again. Kristen has been supportive of Brady spending more time with Rachel. John wonders why that is. He worries Kristen in plotting to get Brady back again. Brady assures him he'll never get back together with Kristen again, so Kristen will have to give him up the same way she had to give up John.

John points out that he never had a child with Kristen, which makes things different. Brady admits that he will always have Kristen in his life because of Rachel.

Kristen calls to ask why Brady has gotten the permission slip for the trip. Brady tells her they have it, and it's signed. Rachel admits she forged her mother's signature.

After the phone call, Brady reminds Rachel that what she did is wrong and asks where she learned to forge a signature. Rachel admits that she practiced.

Brady: Forging a signature is a crime.
Rachel: Even if you don't get caught?
Brady: Wow, you're sounding more like your mother all the time.

He reminds her that Kristen has done things that have landed her in prison, and they don't want that for Rachel. So, no more doing things she knows are wrong, even though she thinks she can get away with it.

Rachel agrees and tells him there's no reason for him to get mad. Brady says if he doesn't get mad, she may not realize that it is wrong. John breaks up the argument. He has to head to the office. He tells Rachel to listen to her Daddy because not only is he smart, but he only wants what's best for her. Rachel says she knows.

John leaves. Rachel has a question. Does Brady have a girlfriend? Mommy has a boyfriend. Brady asks how she feels about that. Rachel doesn't know. Alex seems nice.

Brady assures her that the fact that he and Kristen aren't together has nothing to do with her. But they both love her with all of their hearts. She is the most important thing to him and always will be.

Brady and Rachel leave for the field trip. She's happy he's coming with her today. Brady says he's happy to do anything with her anytime. So let's go see some fish!

Grandpa John always knows how to handle his grand kids as Brady has a tendency to go too heavy. Just happy little Rachel didn't walk in on Kristen and Alex.

And nice to see her having a good time with her pa.

Rachel can still be saved if they get her away from her psychotic mother. She is a normal little girl with Grandpa John, that was nice to see.

Brady is also good with her, you can tell EM has kids.

for once today, I didn't despise Rachel. Maybe seeing/thinking Kristen is with someone else gets her off that whole her parents back getting together mess.

I love how Brady sees Kristen's influence. Too bad he doesn't see how he built her up to be super mom while she was in jail.
