In "Perfect Record," even as kingmaker Eric continues to see things going his way, his control is dissolving. Everyone's favorite website, Lionhaters.com, has posted rap sheets of his many players with criminal records, including, shockingly, Tinker! Eric suspects that the evil Panthers boosters did it, but of course they deny it, although Mac looks terribly guilty. Not only does the whole world know the Lions' perp records, but Vince thinks his potential scholarship chances are imperiled -- but his dad thinks he's wrong. Ornette has firmly taken control of these bids for his services, basically sticking it in Eric's face when confronted. "You're his coach; he's my son," he says. Interesting to see these two control freak guys' styles -- so different, yet so similar at heart.And Eric has no control over his own daughter, who is on hiatus from school, basically vegging at home. This has forced Tami to become a taskmaster, ordering Julie to do chores. The big solution: a barbecue! A morale building event that requires lots of work, which Julie will contribute to. But even this jolly occasion is tainted; Tami admits she doesn't really want to throw it, but it's for the best. Tami is in sacrificial mode, skipping Friday's game to drive to Burleson and get Julie's books and assignments so she can take exams when (if?) she returns. Of course Tami runs into Derek, and the tension is thick, as is the mutual curiosity. Julie somehow didn't even know Tami went on this run and is shaken when she finds out, yet of course curious about her run-in with Derek.
