When Derrick tires of his straight-laced reputation at school, he tries to fit in with the 'cool' kids by shoplifting at a local toy store. While Tracy and Alicia disagree over the best way to teach Derrick the error of his ways, Tracy sympathizes and sets out to improve his son's image among his more rambunctious peers.

Responding to Jimmy's sudden interest in visiting church, the family decides to attend a Sunday service, while Tracy uses the religious experience to drum up business. However, his promotional campaign goes south when the Pastor takes advantage of Tracy's generous offer for free repairs. Meanwhile, in attempt to show up a rival mother, Alicia pushes Derrick to try out for a solo in the church choir and Freddie, Spoon and Bernard enter a Broadway softball league as the cast of the critically acclaimed urban musical ""Garage.""
