Angela feels fat and actually thinks she needs to lose fifteen to twenty pounds. Vanessa thinks she's nuts for thinking she needs to lose that much weight and tells Mom and Dad.
Vanessa and Angela are in desperate need of money to decorate their apartment. And after Jojo fails his driving test for the second time, Run takes this opportunity to make the girls work for the cash by teaching Jojo how to drive.
With the release of Justine's children's book fast approaching, Run suggests a quiet, peaceful weekend away, to help her prepare for an upcoming book reading.
