Brody's car breaks down, so he is pressured by Ricky to get a job in order to pay for the repairs. He lands a gig as a tour guide, and ends up befriending a homeless girl named Lydia. Meanwhile, Sophie and Danielle argue over a coffee mug.

Brody gets into a fight with the new kid at school, a transfer student named Dexter. Then, to this chagrin, the family befriends Dexter and ostracizes Brody. Meanwhile, Sophie turns into a tomboy named Kurt.

Brody neglects to tell Ricky that it's ""Career Day"" at his school. When she does find out, she scrambles to write a speech and questions her desire to be a nurse. She then decides that she wants to fulfill a dream of hers and become an oceanographer. Luckily, Dorfman talks her out of it.
