Bill's turning 40, which should be a time of celebration in the Miller home, but for the fact that Brian is upset at his dad for disclosing to Judy the embarrassing details of a private father-son discussion they had about the body changes of puberty.

Bill gets the bright idea to have Lauren (Renee Olstead) profile her Aunt Linda for a school report on role models, which leads to Lauren helping Linda fulfill her dream of designing and selling fashions for goose lawn ornaments. Meanwhile, Judy becomes jealous of the time that her little sis and eldest daughter are spending together and spitefully dismisses their business venture, predicting it will lay an egg.
