Everyone has had a parent that when you played sports as a kid, their mom or dad got a little too involved in the action, often embarrassing themselves.

After accidentally hoping other children fail so Lily would win, Cam is accused of sabotaging the hair buns of children he helped. But the worst is yet to come as Mitch and Cam miss Lily assisting a fellow gymnast after falling. Everyone in the room witnesses Lily's fantastic example of sportsmanship as Lily checks on the other little girl with the exception of Mitch and Cameron. As Mitch and Cameron return, more serious about displaying sportsmanship, parents alert the two to their daughter's actions. However, after asking "have you seen what you daughter just did", the duo misunderstand what they did not see as poor sportsmanship and shame Lily's action in front of an entire audience. As everyone watches as Mitch and Cam unknowingly punish an act of kindness, making them seem like absolute jerks, the two are banned from further competitions €“ it's a moment too awkward not to include, with the only silver lining being that Lilly still gets to compete.
