When Jeff becomes acting principal at the school, he thinks his ship has finally come in and this is his chance to shine. However, when he has to make an important decision, he chokes and winds up suspending Eddie, who finds himself bored at home until he gets an unexpected visit from his daughter and her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Joy is annoyed by Steph, who has developed an attitude from her husband's elevated status at the school. In Eddie's absence, Jeff searches for a substitute teacher and ends up hiring someone a little too close to home.
