Private Notes
Matt and Andy mix like oil and water with Joe, who means to collect his share of their late father's garage.
Matt goes overboard trying to impress a girl; Joe warns Lou about an art dealer with connections who has convinced her he's interested in her junk sculpture.
Matt and Joe get into a heated debate over which of them should date Matt's forensics teacher after a field trip, Andy blames himself for the crack in the Liberty Bell.
Joe's merciless teasing destroys Matt's confidence for his role in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" -- as a sprite. Joe could use a confidence-builder himself after agreeing to a nude-modeling gig for Lou's art class.
Taking Joe's advice nets Andy a new friend, but leaves Matt uncool at school; and Joe is anything but cool when he shirks his responsibilities for a free-spirited woman of independent means.
Lies and deceptions multiply ""like tribbles"" when Lloyd meets a potential sweetheart on the Internet, and Matt tries to hid a blemish in anticipation of a first date.
An old girlfriend from high school visits Joe and he invites to spend the night. Matt accidentally sees the girl get out of the shower, causing Claire to tell Joe he is setting a bad example for the younger boys. Andy, meanwhile, can't face telling Claire that he isn't ready to go to a sleepover birthday party at a neighbor's house and winds up sneaking downstairs to Joe's room to avoid his mother, ending up spending the evening with Joe's girlfriend instead.
A fortuneteller gives Joe a Halloween scare, as does Andy's ""disappearance""; Claire goes solo to a party; and Matt endures the taunts of college-age trick-or-treaters. All this goes on while Lloyd watches the ""scariest movie ever made"": The Sound of Music.
A conspiratorial Lloyd locks up Joe and Lou in the storeroom on a day that Lou has arranged a blind date and Joe has promised to aid Matt in a date with destiny -- a fight with a school bully.
Joe makes an executive decision to expand Roman Customizing by signing a new account -- one that Claire had turned down before she and others in the house came down with chicken pox.
Christmas morning promises to be a big disappointment for Andy, who entrusted Lloyd to relay his gift wish to Santa -- but now wonders if his brother really delivered it.
Matt hopes to shed his boring image by catching the action at a salsa dance club, where his mom and Lou suddenly show up; and so do Joe and Andy, who swing by in a Batmobile-style cruiser.
Matt wants to play Philadelphia's Lucky Burger clown -- for the money; Joey wants to join the motorcycle-racing circuit and follow in his father's footsteps, which worries Claire.
The younger Roman brothers consider their Designated Dad Jack a delightful companion, but to Joe he's an interloper in the family.
Lou weighs a heavy decision after accepting an engagement ring from her boyfriend; Matt's sarcastic new friends rib Lloyd.
Dissatisfied with their respective dates, Joe and Lou introduce the two on a double date -- and wait for nature to take its course.
