Jerry sets Molly up with a high-school senior who works in his office and has nearly the same personality traits as her dad, but the teen has her heart set on a new student from England. Meanwhile, Harriet asks Grant to teach her to play the guitar; and Rick has money problems with a bookie.

Molly meets a cute guy outside her father's office, but soon discovers that the boy is the son of Jerry's business rival, a laser eye surgeon. Meanwhile, an attractive department-store clerk shows an interest in Grant, despite Rick's attempts to woo her.

When Molly decides to run for student-body president, she casts Grant in a music video announcing her candidacy. At first, the Christian rocker has no office aspirations of his own and fully supports his sister's campaign. But the voters who see the tape think that he's the one competing for the job. His popularity soars, thanks to the video, and he decides to throw his own hat into the ring. Chaos ensues and even Rick gets sucked into the quagmire when he becomes the hairstylist for both candidates.

A baby is left in a bassinet on the Stages' porch with a note written by the mother claiming that Rick is the child's father. While Rick tries to find the woman, Molly is stuck caring for the infant and the twins compete with the new arrival for their parents' attention.

Molly discovers that the Stages aren't the only wacky family in town. Mr. and Mrs. Finn, the fairly odd parents of Molly's soccer teammate Cookie and her younger brother, Mine. The Finns believe that ""if you don't feel like it, you don't have to do it,"" a philosophy that includes allowing the kids to choose their own names. Not wanting to hurt Cookie's feelings, Molly endures two uncomfortable visits to the Finn house, only to later find the loony clan in her own home with the tense Stages playing host.
