Teddy and PJ pose as Gabe's parents as they attend a conference with his elderly teacher, Mrs. Monroe (K Callan). Everything goes well until Mrs. Monroe spots Teddy on a date with her latest crush, Derek (Reid Ewing). Mrs. Monroe thinks that Teddy is "cheating" on her husband. Meanwhile, PJ and Skyler go on their first official date; Bob bets that Amy cannot build Charlie's new playhouse without his help.

Amy and Bob make up for not throwing Gabe his much delayed 12th birthday party by giving him a 12 ½ birthday party, after Gabe promised to be good for a whole week. Unfortunately, Gabe's party falls on the same day as a huge blizzard. Meanwhile, Ivy and Teddy cannot get along with Ivy not liking Teddy's new boyfriend Derek, which causes a rift in their friendship. They go to each other's houses to settle their differences, the same day as the snow storm. Teddy is driven crazy by Ivy's parents Mary Lou and Harry (Ellia English and William Allen Young) while Ivy is having a great time celebrating Gabe's 12-½ birthday. Meanwhile, PJ helps Bob lose a few pounds.

Teddy decides to break up with Derek, but has a hard time doing so, due to him continually doing nice things for her. Meanwhile, Amy becomes Gabe's new hockey coach and hurts herself during a practice. PJ finds out that he is being paid less than minimum wage and gets advice from Bob about what he should do, until PJ gets fired for going on strike with the other Kwikki Chikki staff.
