The tenth episode of Season 2 of "My Life With The Walter Boys" kicks off with Coach Allen delivering an inspiring speech to the football team ahead of their crucial clash against Aurelita. Dylan has returned to the fold, and even Allen seems to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Alex is relentless in his bronc riding practice, earning the commendation of Blake, who notes how far he's come. The tryouts for Blake's father loom on the horizon, signaling the potential end of Blake's tenure as Alex's trainer. Kiley remains distant from Dylan, who tries to justify his actions by claiming his entire football career was at stake. In response, Kiley urges him to be true to himself, rather than living up to his father's expectations.
Jackie, on the brink of another driver's test, is consumed by nerves. After a training session with Katherine, she catches up with Cole, remarking on how infrequently she's seen him since Halloween. She inquires about his SAT scores, to which he responds with a lie, claiming they haven't arrived yet.
Elsewhere, Will receives a pleasant surprise when Hayley returns from Chile a week ahead of schedule. As Alex arrives for the tryouts, Blake warns him that securing the sponsorship will entail numerous nights and weekends away. She delicately probes into Alex's relationship with Jackie, questioning whether it's strong enough to withstand such commitments. Assured of its robustness, Alex proceeds to shine brightly during his tryout.
Upon reaching the Aurelita campus for the game, Dylan drops a bombshell on Cole, announcing his decision to sit out the match as part of his penalty. Isaac steps in as the new quarterback, much to everyone's astonishment. Gordon, Dylan's father, confronts him, but Dylan finally confesses that the football dream was never his; it was his father's all along.
Katherine accompanies Jackie to her driver's test, and this time, she aces it! Emerging victorious, Jackie spots a red car awaiting her outside – her mother's car, which Richard had thoughtfully shipped from New York. Jackie hops behind the wheel and drives to the Silver Falls Sparkle, an annual town event, where she bumps into Grace.
Jackie ventilates her frustrations about Cole's evasive behavior, prompting Grace to snap, urging her to make a definitive choice between the two boys. She then unveils the personal turmoil she's enduring as her parents navigate the painful path of divorce.
The highly anticipated game against Aurelia commences. Midway through the intense match, Coach Allen receives an urgent call – his wife has gone into labor. Obligated to leave, he hastily appoints Cole as the interim coach. The game's fortunes appear bleak, and Cole confesses his inadequacy to Dylan. In response, Dylan offers an inspiring pep talk, emphasizing how the team looks up to him for guidance.
During halftime, Cole delivers an electrifying speech that ignites the team's spirit, including Isaac's. This transformative moment reverses their fortunes, culminating in a triumphant victory!
Later at the Sparkle, Jackie and Skylar converse about Grace's distress, contemplating ways to cheer her up. Nathan informs Jackie of the Bighorns' victory, prompting her to send Cole a congratulatory text, which goes unanswered. Meanwhile, at the try-outs' conclusion, Blake excitedly announces to Alex that he's secured the sponsorship!
As Nathan and Skylar find themselves alone, Nathan confesses that Zach had merely manipulated him to rekindle his relationship with Skylar. Nathan reveals his insecurity, always sensing that his feelings for Skylar outweighed Skylar's for him, and how Zach had made him feel valued. With heartfelt sincerity, Nathan declares his love for Skylar and his desire to be with him, but Skylar, hurt and wary, struggles to trust him again.
Jackie tendered an apology to Grace, acknowledging her selfish preoccupation and taking her friendship for granted. At this tender moment, Alex breezed into the Sparkle, bringing with him tidings of joy for Jackie. Overcome with emotion, he planted a kiss on her, only to be halted mid-kiss by her firm hand. Bewildered, he inquired why their relationship must remain concealed, but she stood her ground, insisting that the timing was inauspicious.
Cole's arrival at the gathering coincided with Danny's melancholic contemplation over Erin. Sensing an opportunity, Cole encouraged Danny to persevere rather than abandon his romantic pursuits. Empowered by Cole's advice, Danny mustered the courage to engage Erin in conversation. Acknowledging their divergent aspirations, he proposed they cherish the present, a suggestion she warmly embraced. Their connection deepened, culminating in a tender kiss.
Meanwhile, Dylan confided in Kiley that he had refrained from playing, vowing to assume greater responsibilities. In a heartfelt declaration, he confessed his疯狂的 love for her and sealed his words with a kiss. As the Silver Falls Sparkle Awards commenced, Mato proudly announced Jackie as the recipient of the Young Sparkler Award, honoring her contributions to the school.
Curiosity piqued, Jackie inquired if Erin had been the one to nominate her, to which Erin subtly hinted that Cole was the culprit. Erin further revealed her plans to appoint Jackie as the Vice President of the student council for the upcoming semester. Later, Jackie approached Cole to congratulate him on his game, but Cole's awkward demeanor led to an abrupt departure.
Back in their cozy abode, Hayley mused to Will that perhaps the town's confines were too restrictive for his grand visions. As the evening drew to a close, everyone returned home. Will, seeking George, entered the residence just as Danny publicly revealed Cole's impressive SAT scores, prompting Cole to storm out, with Jackie hot on his heels.
Confronting Cole, Jackie demanded an explanation for his distant demeanor. Cole, driven to the brink, confessed his awareness of her and Alex's deeper connection. His declaration of love caught her off guard, but she admitted her reciprocal feelings. However, she feared that Cole made her feel uncontrollably vulnerable, a sentiment she couldn't embrace. Just as Cole leaned in for a kiss, Alex's timely arrival interrupted them, querying Jackie's feelings for Cole. Before she could respond, the arrival of an ambulance cut through the tension, with Will announcing that George had encountered some mishap.
