When DJ's high school plans to do a stay in school campaign and she turns to her family for help in making it a success, Jesse tries to keep the fact that he's a high school dropout a secret.

Michelle thinks she's got the lead role of her first grade play in the bag when Jesse and Joey volunteer as directors and Stephanie signs on as choreographer. But when a more talented classmate auditions and the guys give the role to him, Michelle turns bitter. Meanwhile, Steve gets ticked off with DJ, who has gotten in the habit of speaking on his behalf.
