Judy's motherly instincts tell her that Lauren's new trio of friends are a bad influence, a suspicion that seems to be confirmed when Lauren's caught shoplifting a bracelet at the mall. Although Bill is first inclined to believe his daughter's claims of innocence, he has a change of heart when a brand-new MP3 player shows up in his little girl's bedroom.

Meanwhile, Bill gives a few pointers on the birds and bees to a football player (Aaron Hill), who then makes a move on Lauren.
