Facing financial disaster, Frankie tries to save her job by organizing a publicity stunt involving a car filled with jelly beans; Sue fails swim team tryouts, and then learns she needs glasses; and when Brick can't check books out of the library because Frankie can't pay a $200 library fine, he starts reading his mother's steamy romance novels.

Frank is elected "Man of the Year" down at the Lodge and a reluctant Ray and Robert are enlisted to prepare his tribute. When they show up at the Lodge to interview Frank's friends for the testimonial video, they're more than a little shocked by the intense passion behind the guy's comments about their father.

J.D. (Zach Braff) gets a lesson in competitiveness when he asks for Turk's (Donald Faison) support in persuading his patient to opt for medical treatment over surgery, and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) develops a crush on one of her patients (guest star Scott Foley, "Felicity"), but her own fumbling, insecurity and bad timing are compounded by their similar traits. Meanwhile, Dr. Kelso (Ken Jenkins) finds Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley) Achilles heel when he fires the nurse who makes Cox's favorite cup of coffee. Judy Reyes also stars.

Larry argues with Susie and Richard over condolences, confronts a pair of 'sample abusers' at an ice-cream parlor and a perfumery, and is accused of pinching flowers by Marty Funkhouser.

Dr. Foreman believes an uncooperative homeless woman is faking seizures to get a 'meal ticket' at the teaching hospital. But Dr. Wilson grows determined to keep her from falling between the cracks. Her worsening symptoms prove to be a complex mystery, but the mystery of her identity and medical history may hold the answers to saving her life. Just as the team suspects she has contagious meningitis, the woman goes missing, only to be tasered by the police who bring her back. But House deduces that the taser may have proven yet another diagnosis, with dire results.

Marking the 100th episode milestone of The Middle, the citizens of Orson, Indiana celebrate the Orsontennial – the town's 100th anniversary. During this momentous event, Frankie and Mike find themselves begrudgingly trying to drive a giant cow float in the parade; Axl, Sean (recurring guest star Beau Wirick) and Darrin resurrect Boss Co. and attempt to make some big bucks by setting up a VIP area to view the festivities; Sue, still crushing on Darrin, tries to make him jealous by pretending to be dating Brad (recurring guest star Brock Ciarlelli) again; and Brick tries to earn himself a place in Orson history by entering a contest to come up with the town's new motto, which will be used for the next 100 years.
