Grandma wakes Freddie ridiculously early to make him dump Denise, but hands him the phone after speed-miss-dialing Chris's cellphone. After breakfast Chris presents more ludicrous ideas for the restaurant, making interviews for a cook for his new restaurant even more difficult; against Freddie's warning, he chooses 'novel' (i.e. fellow nut-case) Spyder, and grants his 'nameless guy, but with a pager' exclusivity for all expensive work at the restaurant, again ignoring Freddie's objections, till his own sensible suggestions finally succeed in shaming the weirdo, to Chris's anger. Freddie presents a model...

While her teenage daughter is on a far school-trip to Lincoln's grave, Freddie and Chris feels it's an ideal opportunity for ever-studying Sofia to have some fun, so they invite her to their After Hours party in the restaurant, where they usually pick up one-night-stands, for Chris enough to fill his hot-tub. After curing her obsessive phone calls to Zoey, Freddie worries when Sofia hits on a certain Kurt, after years without dating...

After finding out that Chris used his share of Freddie's restaurant as collateral for his own failed restaurant venture, Freddie insists that Chris ask his wealthy grandfather Carl, for money to pay off the debt. Carl is displeased with Chris' slacker lifestyle and impressed with Freddie's work ethic, so he makes Chris work as his chauffeur to teach him a lesson about money and responsibility. When Chris feels humiliated, he pushes back, and the result is that grandfather pays off the loan but takes Chris's trust fund and condo in return. So Chris ends up homeless at Freddie's already crowded apartment.

Chris has bought out the other investors in the restaurant, so he can terrify Freddie with the crazy content of his book of (nutty) ideas... Freddie is suddenly eager to bring grandma to a confession session in church when she hints hot date Denise Montoya will be there. Alas, the priest still publicly mentions parishioner Freddie Morena in many of his sermons as a bad example, Chris antagonizes him further and Freddie's virgin flame already found another. Chris suggests Denise's lover may not be as serious, unwillingly confirmed by the priest, so Freddie invites her for a romantic dream evening, only she brings her charming, riper boyfriend James; yet grandma tells her, in Spanish...

Grandma is grumpier then ever, which means vicious as vitriol since her only remaining single friend got married, so impossible to live with that the younger family members spend a week looking for senior male companionship for the old goat. Just when it felt hopeless, Chris figures out the drug store is the ideal hunting ground; Freddie realizes clerk Hector actually considers grandma desirable, so he invites the man, but she notices the match-making and refuses to go along. Then Sofia discovers nature has finally taken its course again, only with a surprising third man...

Freddie hears bad news: his girl friend and potential fiancée Denise has got a job offer on Hawai, so while he tells her not to want to stand between her and happiness Freddie really hopes desperately she will choose to stay with him. Alas Chris manages to blurt out that all men keep score of their 'conquests', while Denise is still at zero for virgin, which puts the dreaded question of Freddie's romantic 'number' on the table, daunting despite some of Chris's 'creative' arithmetics...

It's Halloween, but Sofia managed to bleach daughter Zoe's vampire costume: ruined. Freddy ingeniously improvises an 'old-school' pumpkin suit, but the spoiled brats only appreciate fashionable fancies. Sophia feels guilty but would miss more med study if she takes the kid to play trick or treat, so ever too kind Uncle Freddy volunteers. When Allison tells them about the Rocky Horror Picture Show, his and Chris's first-ever X-rated movie, they accept to take Zoe there instead. Seeing the creepy costumes lining up, joined by cross-dressing Chris -murder on his butt, but dragging two girls- Freddie doubts, but ends up even taking along class mates Mandy and Marissa, despite dreading the parents finding out, with good reason...
