Bernie takes the family on a tour of his old stomping grounds. Vanessa attempts to find her mother.
After hearing Bernie use inappropriate language at home, Bryana goes to school and repeats it—much to the horror of her teacher. Soon after, a social worker shows up at the house to discuss Bernie's hostility problems.
Wanda neglects to tell Bernie that a group of children are coming for a play date. Bernie spends the day entertaining three ladies, stay-at-home wives of men that work with Wanda. At a company picnic, Bernie realizes that Wanda's boss thinks that he's a stay-at-home Dad. Let the pontificating begin.
Psychologist Dr. Phil makes a house call in Bernie's confessional. He counsels Bernie on how to deal with an angry Wanda, who feels left out after Bernie and his buddies bring a woman, Lynette, into their group. Meanwhile, the kids find where Bernie hides all of their dangerous toys and end up almost killing each other to keep the secret.
