Dr. Bindlebeep's parents, Lester and Louise receive a visit, from Arthur, Norma, and the kids. Since Arthur is his father's son, he goes back to acting like it. Unknown to Dr. Bindlebeep, his father is in very good shape, better than him. He exercises regularly to stay like this. They play touch football, and Lester is injured. Arthur was acting like the son, but roles have switched when his father begins taking over the role of son, from his injury.

Dr. Bindlebeep and Norma are awakened in the middle of the night by a bear in their garage. As animal control officers set about removing the bear, they realize their car is gone. Just after reporting the car stolen, the two discover that their daughter Angie is missing from her room. The mystery is solved moments later, when police officers return Angie to the house. It seems that high school student, James, had talked Angie into slipping out and taking the car. The incident prompts, Dr. Bindlebeep and Norma into discussing peer pressure with Angie.

Dr. Bindlebeep looks forward to a Saturday alone and some golden ""privacy."" However, all plans are disrupted when the Wrangler comes by to catch a pesky rodent. Elkins, the noisy neighbor, barges in to watch his NASCAR racing. Katherine comes home with her little friend, Molly. Angie and her friends decide to practice singing in the living room. Dr. Bindlebeep isn't too pleased and demands everyone out of his house.

Dr. Bindlebeep prepares to give a speech about truth in the media that evening and uses his captive family audience at the breakfast table to practice the speech and to preach about truth in general. Of course, Dr. Bindlebeep leaves out the fact that he sneaks donuts, during his morning walks and therefore often lies to Norma. In any event, the family is sent off with a lecture on telling the truth, but Roy apparently doesn't listen. Driven by his desire to see a PG-13 movie, the twelve year-old tells a series of lies that sink him deeper and deeper into deception. While he does manage to see the movie, he realizes the consequences of lying can be far greater, than it might seem.

Dr. Bindlebeep gives great fatherly advice, about not judging others and giving them a chance. However, when a new neighbor moves next door he just can't seem to hear his own guidance. Dr. Bindlebeep spies on the prospective neighbors and offers general information about the neighborhood.
