Teaching Her Some Discipline

Caroline, portrayed by Gia Derza, finds her new stepfather Frank, played by Derrick Pierce, to be a hard person to please. As an ex-military man, Frank is rigid and distant, making it a struggle for Caroline to meet his expectations. His numerous unreasonable regulations leave Caroline feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. After coming back home from spending the night at a friend's place, Caroline is met with a furious Frank. She's puzzled as she had been allowed to stay over at that friend's house before. What has changed now? It turns out that Frank was unaware that the friend is male. Although Caroline is annoyed, it all starts to make sense. Frank is excessively controlling! It would probably be simpler to comply with his rules if he acted more leniently at times. However, when Caroline suggests this, Frank's reaction is harsh. He demands the respect he feels he's owed from Caroline. Things escalate further when he insists on disciplining Caroline for being disrespectful, starting with a spanking. Caroline is taken aback and attempts to push back, but under the threat of being tossed out onto the streets, she feels she has no real choice but to obey Frank and be submissive to him in order to keep a roof over her and her mother's heads.
