Joe's merciless teasing destroys Matt's confidence for his role in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Joe could use a confidence-builder himself after agreeing to a nude-modeling gig for Lou's art class.

Taking Joe's advice nets Andy a new friend, but leaves Matt uncool at school; and Joe is anything but cool when he shirks his responsibilities for a free-spirited woman of independent means.

An old girlfriend from high school visits Joe and he invites to spend the night. Matt accidentally sees the girl get out of the shower, causing Claire to tell Joe he is setting a bad example for the younger boys. Andy, meanwhile, can't face telling Claire that he isn't ready to go to a sleepover birthday party at a neighbor's house.

Matt hopes to shed his boring image by catching the action at a salsa dance club, where his mom and Lou suddenly show up; and so do Joe and Andy, who swing by in a Batmobile-style cruiser.

Matt wants to play Philadelphia's Lucky Burger clown for the money while Joey wants to join the motorcycle-racing circuit and follow in his father's footsteps, which worries Claire.
