Jahira is a 12-year-old from a military family, hoping to be a pageant queen one day. Her mom helps her backstage at all her pageants, which is their girl-time together. When her mom announces that she is being deployed to Iraq for a 1-year tour, Cyrus recruits Jahira's step-dad to learn the duties of a "pageant-mom" so that Jahira can continue doing pageants while her mom is overseas. Jahira's step-dad discovers that it's a much tougher job than he expected and worries that he'll let her down on the day of the pageant. Cyrus also uses his military background to get his staff prepared to compete in the annual Mud Run to benefit the Marines. Hopefully Shane won't slow down the team.
