John's plan to make Samantha choose boxing over ballet has unintended consequences. In other events, Jen tries to get a second opinion about a tonsil surgery, Joan scares Matt with spiders and Greg grows a beard.
Matt's eagerness to repay a youth long of pranks abusing his arachnophobia makes him the unsuspected butt of an elaborated conspiracy. Grandpa John driving brat Sam to ballet and allowing her to sneak off to boxing behind heather's back gets out of either's control. Tim is all but amused that Jen seeks a second opinion when he recommends a tonsil surgery, which he ends up performing. Greg decided to grow a beard but Jen finds that cripples their already challenged sex-life and resorts to as dirty tricks as it takes.—KGF Vissers
