Judy joins a book club to exercise her mind, but after Bill intrudes on a discussion, she competes with him to see who can be the smarter reader. Linda, meanwhile, sets her sights on winning a date with the book club's leader (Sean Masterson).

Lauren likes classmate Alex, and Bill, against Judy's advice, interferes in the "romance". Lauren is humiliated. Judy gets tickets for all involved to see Blink 182 in concert. Inadvertently, Lauren gets even more humiliated, this time by her mother on the jumbotron.
