Als sie eine leichtsinnige Entscheidung trifft,, bekommt sie die schlimmste Strafe aller Zeiten: Sie muss ihren Hausarrest als Aushilfe im "Sowrd and Board Games", dem Spielwarenladen ihres Vaters, verbringen. Als dann auch noch ihr Ex-Freund Paul mit seiner Neuen im Laden auftaucht, tut Riley etwas, das sie später noch bereuen könnte: Sie erzählt Paul, dass sie ihren Arbeitskollegen Nathan datet.
