Bob and Linda head out on the town for a date - but to Linda's dismay, Bob's idea of romance proves "trivial." Meanwhile, a wild chinchilla chase ensues after the school pet that Louise was charged with watching escapes out the front door.

When a new playground game is introduced, the school's social hierarchy is turned upside-down and Gene disapproves. Meanwhile, Linda fills in for the local library storyteller and pulls out all the stops to perfect her storyteller persona.

Louise takes a class assignment - and a few unhelpful comments by Wayne - very personally. And Bob hires a masseur-in-training to give Linda a massage for Mother's Day.
