When their African American neighbours' car is egged, Vanessa goes against Mike's advice and decides to let them know their car wasn't the only one vandalised.

Mike and Chuck debate the merits of a local ballot measure merging their upscale neighbourhood high school with one in the inner city.

After Vanessa's complex presentation to Eve's class on career day about her work for an oil company, the class quickly turns on Vanessa and accuses her of destroying Mother Earth.

Mike is ecstatic when Eve is picked to be her high school's first female kicker, but Vanessa feels high school football could be risky for their youngest daughter.

Mike considers whether to follow the politically correct guidelines for his speech at Mandy's graduation; Eve's friend's boasting about her life away at college leaves Eve feeling discouraged.

When Eve tells the family her annoying best friend Cammy needs to move in with them, Mike springs into action to find a way to hand Cammy off on someone else, namely the Larabees.
