While treating Henry to an early dinner at his favorite pancake restaurant, Ed recognizes their waiter as Tim, the DMV employee who changed the score on his drivers' test so that he would pass in the pilot episode. Because of what he did for Ed, Tim was fired from his job and now has to wait tables for a living. When Ed refuses to take responsibility for getting a him fired, Henry is incensed. The argument brings out Henry's resentment towards his father for cheating on his mom and breaking up the family. However, Vince reveals that the opposite was true: Henry's mom cheated on Ed. It seems that Ed took the blame for breaking up the family in order to protect the woman who raised his son, causing Henry to see him in a new light. Ed gets Tim fired from the pancake restaurant as well, but in the end he has a change of heart and hires him as their new family maid. The frugal Bonnie, meanwhile, goes to great lengths to preserve her hair and makeup for days after a $400 make-over.
