Pilot

Angela, the tennis playing Phenom, strives to live as a normal teenager. Her pushy coach Lou, keeps her in the tennis spotlight and she does not have time for friends or family. Her mother, Diane, is falling off her hinges and needs to get away for the weekend, so Lou gives her the tip of a spa that he goes to often and she can relax and get a 50% discount for mentionining his name. When Diane gets there she meets a charming man, except he has multiple personalities. Back home, Brian must tend to his little sister's camp meetings, which turns out to be in his favor.
