Danielle has grown to bond with Dexter (see ""A Close Shave"") and decides that she wants to sleep with him. Ricky feels uneasy about all this, and Danielle's mom freaks out and blames Ricky for letting Danielle do something like this. Elsewhere, Melissa enlists Brody to make a personality change and Sophie wants to teach tricks to one of her stuffed animals.
Andrea, an old friend of Ricky's, comes to LA for a visit. It turns out that Andrea was a party animal back in the day, and little has changed since then. The two friends go party-hopping and Ricky ends up neglecting her household duties. With Ricky gone, Brody, Dorfman, Danielle, Beth, and Melissa turn the house upside down.
Sophie becomes disenchanted with her first name and, at Brody's suggestion, changes it to Spot. With Ricky struggling to make ends meet for her extended family, Sophie's behavior is influenced by the teens hanging around the house. This obviously irks Ricky, and she unsuccessfully forbids Dorfman, Danielle, and Beth from coming over.
Ricky is a single mother living with her two younger siblings and six-year-old daughter in San Francisco. When her neighbor Danielle gets into a fight with her mother after she watches the film ""Thelma and Louise"" with the Wilders, Ricky decides that she has become too soft on discipline. Her first victim is her kid brother Brody, who is forbidden from attending a frat party. Meanwhile, Sophie, Ricky's daughter, panics after losing a baby tooth.
