The girls are each to get jobs to help bring in some extra cash. Connie ends up in a meat packing plant; Marie becomes a volenteer; Cindy gets exploited for her beauty at a job as a receptionist at a health club; and Wendy is too distracted by shopping to look for work.

Elizabeth becomes convinced that she was having a conversation with God, though no one believes her. That is, until a tree crashes through a bedroom window, where the kids would have been, had she not forced them to start praying. . .

Graham tries to keep it a secret from the kids that he's going into the hospital for hemorrhoid surgery. But when the girls get wind of his hospital stay, they assume he's dying -- and they spread the news of his failing health to everyone at St Auggie's.

On report card day, Graham convinces Wendy that she's tested in the genius range on IQ tests to increase her learning potential. When Sherrie gets wind of this news, she breaks into the school records and discovers that she herself is not the genius she was always told she was.

When Wendy gets suspended from school, for cutting classes, her punishment is taking over Elizabeth's housewife duties for a day. Wendy thinks she can do it all in one day and have two left over to relax. After an exhausting day of chores and a freak-out when little Harvey wanders off, Wendy learns how hard it really is to fill her mother's shoes.

When the family is offered free food from the government, Graham doesn't want to accept charity. So unbeknownst to everyone but Connie, Graham takes a job working at Burger Barn – under supervisor Gavin Doosler.

Synopsis is forthcoming.
