Homecoming night is a major letdown for Frankie, whose crush is attending the event with someone else. Meanwhile, Jack and Joanne look forward to a romantic evening at home without the kids; and Rachel leads a protest against the school's "no grinding" policy.

Jack's plan for getting Rachel to take school and her future more seriously is to sign her up for the wrestling team, even though the coach is less than thrilled to have her; and Frankie is embarrassed to be seen in public with Joanne during their annual mother-son trip.
