Through a set of unusual circumstances, the Malloy family assumes the identities of a wealthy family, the Riches, only to find that a glamorous life entails more than they expected.

Wayne has to find a way to pay for the family's new lifestyle. Dale is still after the Malloys.

Wayne begins work at his new job at the law firm, where his first assignment is to fire the current head of the department. Meanwhile, Dahlia insists on registering the kids at a rich private school despite the fact that there are currently no openings. Finally, Dale uses his influence over Tammy, Cael's girlfriend, to track down the Malloys.

The real Doug Rich's ex-wife jeopardizes the Malloys' cover when she comes after "Doug" for missed alimony payments. Meanwhile, Di Di falls for a buffer, and Cael finds a way to capitalize on his unusual skills at school. Also, Dahlia's pill addiction continues to worsen and now threatens to tear the family apart.

Wayne must deal with legal arcana in an eminent-domain case and Dahlia gets a job for which she is equally qualified: a dental hygienist. Ginny catches up to the Malloys, which means Dale is probably not far behind.

The Malloys must deal with Ken from the Traveler camp, when he shows up intending to marry Di Di. His presence leads to a family crisis. At Panco, Hugh wants Dahlia to be his personal assistant. He won't let Wayne settle for Hartley Underwood, who's suing the company. Meanwhile, Dale makes his move back at camp.

Stunned by the news of Earl's death, a grieving Dahlia and her family head back to camp, where Dale looks to settle old scores with Wayne, while Ginny schemes to tie the knot between Di Di and Ken.

Wayne helps Hugh cope with his depression in an effort to save the Bayou Hills deal. Meanwhile, Cael's reckless behaviour at school forces Wayne to intervene.

Dahlia finds living an honest life difficult; Doug's past causes Wayne grief.
