It&#8217;s especially complicated if it&#8217;s family you&#8217;re not really related to. See, her Dad ditched her with his girlfriend about six years ago, and she&#8217;s been hanging out with her almost-stepmom and her two sons, Jesse and Critter, forever &#8212; at least long enough to know that they&#8217;re who she wants to be family with. But, things change when Christopher &#8212; aka Critter &#8212; starts macking seriously on the lifeguard he was just supposed to <i>flirt<\/i> with so that he and Seattle could bluff their way into the ritzy pool across town during the heat wave. And things change <em>further<\/em> when Seattle meets Scooter, and Critter finds that he&#8217;s weirdly &#8230;jealous&#8230; of Seattle hooking up with him so fast. He&#8217;s even&#8230; dreaming about her.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly <i>what<\/i> is going on with the two peas in a pod, who used to be so totally inseparable?
