As Bill tries to teach Lenore all about his car and how to drive a stick shift, he finds inspiration for a new story in which a woman on a road trip starts receiving threatening calls on her cell phone.

Bill is concerned about a boy his daughter Lenore is hanging out with, Cynthia is all over Bill to do something about their problems with ants in the house, and Grandma Lucy is giving Bill a hard time as usual. Bill's newest story is instigated by the ant problem in the Fearing household. It seems that ants are attacking and killing people and Detective Sarno is put in charge of the case, only to discover that these ants have a host.
