And when a young, bearded guy steps through the crowd to settle the growing argument between siblings, Autumn lashes out, dubbing him a "Duck Dynasty wannabe." At Nineteen, Caden Behr is clueless as to why his man parts are threatened by the fearsome girl before him.

Without her, he'll never prove to his CEO mother that he's ready for more responsibility.
