Episode Summary

The first day of school at Dillon High brings new changes. Tami finds it difficult to be a mother to a newborn and a teenager, especially with Eric away at TMU. Matt's "perfect" life begins to slip away while Landry tries to move on after a life changing event. However, Smash is loving the new year as coaches, media and scouts have nothing but praise for him.
