* Tom tells Kate about the job offer in the basement- The kids hear Tom and Kate talking anyway and when Tom tells the news the kids are disappointed and they demand to vote about the move and Tom agrees. Conflict resolved by Tom's loss of the vote to move he anyway accepts Shake's offer much to the children's dismay.



* Tom thinks that he can handle the kids in Kate's absence. However, he has a hard time balancing his work and his family and the house erupts into total chaos. Is temporarily resolved by the grounding of the children.



* Children's protest to being grounded- by saying that they had already bought gifts for Dylan Shenk. Despite being grounded, the children sneak out of the house while Tom is coaching his team in the living room. Resolved by Tom and the team capturing all of the kids.



* Mark decides to run away as he feels out of place in the family, finally bringing the true extent of the family's condition to light. Resolved by all compromising to help with the search, and Nora breaks up with Hank when he is completely apathetic towards the news. The family reunites the next morning and Sarah and the other kids apologise to Mark.
