Sean and Claudia Finnerty got married pretty young, due to unexpected pregnancy. Now, three kids later, they still struggle to cope with everyday problems.
1 | Lily B. Goode |
| In a desperate grab for attention, Lily makes out with the nerdish next-door neighbor, Brad O’Keefe, in his car; when Sean catches them, he responds in a rather unorthodox way--by throwing fried chicken at the windshield. Meanwhile, Walt babysits Jimmy and Henry and teaches them how to dig a hole; and Eddie tries to hook up illegal cable so he and Sean can watch softcore porn. |
2 | In My Room |
| While snooping around in Lily’s room, Sean discovers a fake ID; he, Claudia, and Eddie try to find out what she’s doing with it. |
3 | I Wanna Be Suspended |
| Jimmy’s science project, a scale model of the solar system, is due and he’s eager to get back from the street fair, but Sean and Claudia drag him along to see The Ramones. Sean writes a note to Jimmy’s principal, Sister Helen; during his resulting suspension, Sean and Eddie take him to the Statue of Liberty, which ends in disaster. |
4 | Devil with a Plaid Skirt |
| Lily’s skirt length and Jimmy’s claim of demonic possession spark a battle between Sean and Sister Helen. Sean brings home an old friend (and Claudia’s former boyfriend) who has become a priest. |
5 | Action Mountain High |
| Lily’s trip to an amusement park with a group of her friends backfires when she calls Sean to pick her up. He doesn’t like what he sees, and when he realizes he was the one called because everyone thought he would go easy on them, he proceeds to get them all in trouble by telling their parents. |
6 | You Can’t Always Get What You Want |
| Lily freaks out when Sean says they can’t afford to send her on a ski trip with her classmates. Then she learns that Sean has inherited some money and spent it on a guitar for himself. |
7 | Like a Virgin |
| Claudia hopes she and Lily will bond during a trip to New Jersey, but when she tells popular cheerleaders from Lily’s school that her daughter is still a virgin, Lily takes off, stranding Claudia with no daughter, no luggage, and no clothes. |
8 | Devil’s Haircut |
| Claudia asks Sean to take Henry to the barber but it is closed, so he attempts the job himself, causing a catastrophe. |
9 | Eddie’s Dead |
| Sean tries to keep Eddie from hitting on a woman Claudia is consoling after a break-up. |
10 | Catch Us If You Can |
| Sean catches a fly ball that’s still in play and loses a game for the Yankees. He, Eddie, and the boys are chased home by irate fans, and Claudia is no happier with them because she has been hosting a bachelorette party. |
11 | Jimmy’s Got a Gun |
| Walt gives Jimmy a BB gun for his birthday and ends up in the hospital, shot in the rump. |
12 | Jimmy Was Kung-Fu Fighting |
| To save for a dream vacation to Mexico, Sean and Claudia start working extra shifts at work. This leads to chaos at home, with Eddie raising the kids, Lily getting her tongue pierced, Jimmy becoming a bully, and Henry panhandling and eating out of the garbage. |
13 | Loser |
| Sean volunteers to referee Henry’s soccer team and ends up making an unethical decision in the team’s favor, resulting in Henry’s ego getting inflated. The next week Sean tries to correct things by making an unethical decision in the opposing team’s favor. |
14 | Mrs. Finnerty, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter |
| Sister Helen, the school principal, removes Lily’s dance routine from the school talent show, and Sean agrees to sell 30 boxes of chocolate if Sister will let Lily and friends perform their dance; unfortunately, said dance is the sexually-suggestive song "Big Spender" from the Broadway play Sweet Charity. |
15 | Love Child |
| Lily is upset when she realizes that she was born before her parents were married, so they tell her the story of how she was born. |
