Malcolm in the Middle Season 3 (2001)


1

Houseboat

Malcolm’s family and the Kenarbans vacation together on a houseboat, while Reese and Stevie hang out with girls from a cheerleader camp who are rather kinky. Malcolm soon becomes annoyed with spending time fishing with Hal, and finds some bras and Reese’s shirt by the boat, causing him to throw Hal overboard and rushing the boat to the girls camp. Dewey has an increasingly bad time, ending with Reese and Stevie leaving him on a buoy, causing him to have severe skin burns. Returning home, Lois punishes Malcolm and Reese for 3 weeks for their actions with household chores, even though Malcolm remarks that he cannot stop laughing. Meanwhile, Francis’ friend, Eric, drops out of the military academy to take on a logging job in Alaska and Francis gets himself emancipated so he can join him, incurring Lois’ wrath because she was against him leaving school from the start.

Emancipation

Francis comes home a final time before heading out to join Eric in Alaska, but Lois wants nothing to do with him since he quit school. Meanwhile, Malcolm’s new teacher, Mr. Herkabe (Chris Eigeman), a former Krelboyne student and a sadistic professor, sets up a ranking system to pressure them to achieve, causing the students to suffer a breakdown and increased paranoia, turning them against each other, until Malcolm develops up a scheme to break Herkabe’s system, humiliating him in front of the school headmaster.

3

Book Club

Lois attempts to escape the boys’ nightly misbehavior by joining a women’s book club, but she soon realizes that it’s merely an excuse for the women to socialize—and to plot against a wealthy PTA mom who seems to handle her children and all other motherly duties with ease and living in pure luxury, and Lois makes friends with another mom named Karen. Meanwhile, Hal starts trying out many different ways to keep boys in order, and Francis hitches a ride with a trucker who makes him humiliate himself in exchange for the ride. Lois goes with Karen to trash the backyard of the PTA mom, but the plan fails when they get drunk and make noise, with the woman coming out with a shotgun and scaring them away with calling the police, causing Lois and Karen to hide in a dumpster in front of the police.

4

Malcolm’s Girlfriend

After getting a girlfriend (whose face is never shown on camera), Malcolm neglects his family and friends; the family reacts when they find out about her. Meanwhile, Dewey uses his new friend’s wealth to get the birthday party he’s always wanted. Still en route to Alaska, Francis is jailed but quickly starts to enjoy his time as he watches the guards’ complicated lives unfold as a soap opera, and he has a good time with the guards and gives them advice, and they let him go to continue his trip.

5

Charity

When Lois forces the boys into community service to build character, they choose to help out at a church, where they quickly go from trading their own stuff to stealing merchandise and creating a black market. Meanwhile, Francis finally reaches his destination in Alaska only to learn that his new job isn’t the easy money-making opportunity he thought, but rather a living hell.

6

Health Scare

When news hits that Hal may have a serious illness, Lois becomes meaner than usual. Meanwhile, Francis has a showdown with combative Lavernia in Alaska, and Dewey becomes overzealous in taking care of his class’s pet hamster, by putting it in its play ball and filling it with cereal, and setting it free to protect it from a mean bully who is next in taking care of the hamster.

7

Christmas

As the boys ruin Christmas every year, the most recent being a tree ornament war, Lois finally issues an ultimatum: either the boys behave or Christmas is cancelled! It works and Lois is proud that they rose to the challenge, but the boys realize that she could keep using this threat for every holiday--how can they stop her? They get back at Lois for holding Christmas hostage by drawing obscure pictures of her killing Santa Claus on the garage wall and tearing open their presents on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, Francis spends a torturous Christmas with Grandma Ida in Whitehorse and eventually finds a closet full of gifts she bought for the family over the years, then withheld from because of petty offenses.

8

Poker

Hal finally gets an invitation to Abe’s poker game, where Hal feels left out because he’s the only amateur player and the only ’non-professional’. Malcolm clashes with Stevie for filming him in a homework assignment. Reese collects money from old ladies who wanted to partner up at Lois’s dance class, then uses the money to get Dewey a toy and smashes it in front of him. For revenge, Dewey films Reese being dragged along to the class. Meanwhile, Francis and his Alaskan friends are trapped in an Alaskan blizzard fending off cabin fever.

Reese works at a fast-food place, but gets into trouble when his co-workers think he stole money from the cash register.

Malcolm finds himself eclipsed by the newest, youngest Krelboyne--Herkabe’s latest attempt to get rid of Malcolm--until the boy helps Malcolm clear Reese’s name by revealing the real culprit.

Monkey

It is also the last appearance of Bernard, the class hamster Dewey liberated, as he ironically reaches Alaska.)
