The Padawan Bites the Dust
- Via is upset that Auggie cuts off his Padawan braid without a word to anyone.
- When Via's mom checks in with her after dinner, Via notices she looks pretty drained.
- Via's not able to share her sadness with her mom, but later she talks a bit with her dad about Miranda and Ella.
- He tells her that nothing tests friendships like high school, and then teases her a little about reading War and Peace.
- He makes her laugh, which takes the edge off her sadness, and tells her not to be mad at her mom—Auggie had a rough first day.
- Via asks her dad to bring the dog, Daisy, to sleep with her, and he kisses them both goodnight.
