My Wife and Kids: 2x6

He Heard, She Heard

Claire asks her parents to go to a party, but Michael won’t let her. Jay thinks he should trust his daughter more, so he lets her spend the night over at Erica’s (even though that wasn’t his original decision). When he picks up the phone, he ‘accidentally’ listens to Claire’s conversation, where she says she’ll fool Michael and go to the party. Michael sets up a scheme to catch her, but Kady overhears it. Claire bribes her sister with liquorish so she’ll page her when Michael leaves the house. The plan works, and Michael can’t rest until he discovers how Claire tricked him. Finally, he bribes Kady and catches Claire and her friends with a fake party he made up.
