This Time the Problem Is With Dad and Not With Boys

S1, E5: Tess calls Jack to get permission to get her ears pierced early, but he is preoccupied with her brothers and shoots her down before she can plead her case. In a weak moment, Tess gets her ears pierced anyway, but immediately feels guilty. When she gets home, she plans to tell him the truth, but before she can, Dad admits his bullheadedness and gives her permission and therefore, a way to not get caught. But when he tells her how proud he is that she waited until he said yes, Tess has a hard time living with the guilt.
