After 'family night' charades were a walkover for the girls, Fran is eager to find something Riley and Josh can do - in order to grow closer together, so when he has a construction vacancy, she decides her lover 'obviously' hires her son, never mind neither darling wants that. Both boys try terribly hard, but Josh is as gifted for construction work (roofing, in this case) as Hitler for equality programs. After a long day, Riley tells Fran he just can't keep such an incompetent worker on, and having hired Joshua she should fire him, but she just can't. Only after an extremely painful accident, which hits Riley by cascade from shoulder to nuts, Fran puts the 'father son' job out of its misery, or was that the wrong way to look at it after all?

Ryan built a shoe-carousel for his six months anniversary with Fran, so what can she give him? She goes for strip- classes, from obviously queer dance instructor Allan. Josh expects a surprise for his birthday on Sunday, so when she asks him to make himself scarce on Saturday 'for a girls book club' -actually to strip for Ryan- he assumes that's to be his surprise party. Ryan loves his self-unwrapping present, till Josh walks in on them. Alison's unorthodox 'self-expressive' school project has Fran, Ryan and Josh visit the principal- it's a piñata in the shape of the team mascot, which spills not just peppermints but also condoms, as a protest that the school budget for sex seduction was cut to pay for new athletic equipment. After witnessing the atypical family dynamics, which they all defend, Josh not quite, Sir decides she turned out better then could be expected and lets her off.

Laurie, who used to be the fat girl in Josh's class and nobody was nice to except Josh, returns as a slim hottie. Josh gets interested and finds out that Laurie is an artist, who is too busy getting ready for her exhibition to date. Josh sees that the only time he can have with Laurie is at her studio. Laurie has an idea about her final naked body cast piece for the exhibition. Josh offers to be the model but Laurie wants Fran to be the one who gets plastered. Fran declines. Josh concludes that he has to somehow manipulate Riley so that he makes Fran change her mind and thus provides Josh another shot with Laurie.
