Freddie decides to override Sofia's judgement by buying Zoey an expensive phone that she wants. When they are caught, Freddie and Chris are supposed to take Zoey to a soup kitchen to teach her a lesson, but instead decide to take her to an auction that they'd been planning on going to. The real lesson is learned when Zoey makes Freddie bid a ridiculous amount of money on an item she wants, and Freddie makes her work it off at the restaurant, finally teaching her the value of a dollar.

Freddie and Chris return home from a night out and walk in on his niece Zoey's slumber party. Chris jumps in and helps one of her 13-year-old friends with her boyfriend crisis, while Freddie meets Kaitlyn, the mother of another girl, and they hit it off right away. But when Freddie tries to date Kaitlyn, he learns he has to win over her daughter first, which makes Zoey jealous.

Chris' new restaurant is about to open, and he wants to make all the decisions himself. He refuses to let Freddie see it in advance – which drives his friend crazy. Freddie, Sophia and Allison sneak in one night and discover a rather chic and technologically advanced restaurant. Freddie's concerns are eased until he gets a panicky call from Chris when his chef quits at the last minute. Chris relents and asks his friend to cook for opening night – but can Freddie help Chris' restaurant become a success, or will everything fall apart and even put Freddie's own restaurant in jeopardy?
