Michael’s trying to run the house, but the kids don’t want to obey his rules. They rebel against him and Michael decides to let them live rule-free. But no rules also means Michael won’t help them at all. They’ll have to cook their own meals and set their own alarm clocks. Kady is the first one to give up, followed by Claire after Michael installs a pay phone in the house. Now only Jr. is left. He is attacked by ants from eating food in his room, and has his bike destroyed after he leaves it on the driveway. Nonetheless, he’s too tough to admit he needs rules. That is, until Michael locks him out of the house and he has to sleep on the grass.
