Plot: Tom tries to make inroads with his new stepdaughter Vera by asking her to accompany him to the school's Father-Daughter Dance. Last year Paco didn't show up. The evening seems to be going smoothly until Tom runs over the family pet on his way to get an ice-cream cake for celebration. Then his redneck neighbor Sandals takes it and eats it. This kills his chances of being accepted by his new kids. Taylor and Tom look for Meadowlark Lemon and Tom dives in nasty places looking to keep the secret but Sandals and the others tell him to be honest. Then he makes amends by getting a new worm named Kareem Abdul Jabbark, but he gets killed when Sandals shhots him while he's obeying Tom's command to "fetch." Tom then dances with Vera, making a happy ending.
Meanwhile: Tyler tries to make friends at his new school. Instead, he gets beaten up by a girl and tripped by others. When he runs to the bathroom, he finds out that the school has no doors! A guy named Laine is there; impressed by what a good door Tyler makes, and befriends him. Tyler goes on to make friends and money, but when his dad comes to the Father-Daughter Dance and sees his son working there, he becomes furious and tells him that he is not working in a damn cra**er.
