I bought Missy being unrealistic about the consequences of running away, what I didn't buy was Paige. Not the running away aspect, but the idea that they could be mermaids in Daytona Beach. She's smart enough to know they are 13 and are not going to get hired anywhere. Her end game is just acting out and pissing off her parents.
I think Paige wanted to believe in a fantasy, even if only for a few moments. Let's run away and become mermaids speaks to a certain degree of innocence on Paige's part. She could have suggested a topless bar or a place like Hooters, but she wanted to be a fantasy creature that would also appeal to Missy. She also may belieive that because she is a genius she would be able to figure something out.

I liked Sheldon insisting that Missy was doing it wrong because she didn't head towards California like his math predicted. Especially funny because he was right, she just drove east by mistake and then opted for spring break.
I thought that was great too. He was right, but Paige was the one who pointed out that based on how far the girls had already traveled, Daytona Beach made more sense. Making more sense being a relative term in this situation.

I hope Paige and Missy can ultimately be good friends for each other — neither will feel so isolated.
And one being the family genius with the other being a genius’s twin could give each other insights for growth.
I want Paige and Missy to stay friends. I like that Paige is the one person who is legitmately honestly by choice friends with both Cooper twins and that both Cooper twins would want to spend time with.
I wish there had been a longer converstation between Paige and Missy comparing their respective home-lives. What it is like being the genuis who gets all of the attention and the pressure, and what it is like being the over-looked sibling.
I really enjoyed this episode.
