Their old hippie friends, the Yeagers, who haven't changed a bit, visit Helen and Jake. An issue is raised over which family is living the better life now: the laid-back, old-fashioned Yeagers, or the modern, upwardly mobile Morgendorffers. Quinn takes an interest in the Yeagers' aloof, cynical son Ethan, who ends up telling her about their parents' former problems with the law. Daria, meanwhile, heads off to a flea market with Jane, Jesse and her continuing crush, Trent, where they attempt to sell Trent's old records.

Ally and her newest beau are involved in a minor traffic accident, then forced to deal with a 10-year-old lawyer - a child prodigy who can quote every Supreme Court ruling going back the last ten years. Also, Ally has more sessions with John's "smile therapist". Meanwhile, Fish handles a bizarre sexual harassment case.
