Hospital Visit

Story
Vince and Lorna are invited to a wedding and leave the house and the boys in the hands of Elisa, who has a free weekend from the military academy. Before they leave, Alex overhears Vince and Lorna discussing Elisa and hears them reconsidering keeping Elisa at the academy depending on how the weekend goes.

Elisa' old friends also find out that he's back in town and they pay a visit after Vince and Lorna leave. The friends get dragged off by the police while very drunk but not before leaving the house in disarray (which Elisa is amazed by, as the house looks as if a wild party had taken place, yet Elisa comments that he didn't know three guys could do that much damage). The attempts to clean go badly, until Alex reveals that Elisa might be allowed to stay home if the weekend goes well. Elisa and the boys clean the house but end up being cleaning it too well. It is cleaner than it ever has been. The boys try to make a little mess so Vince and Lorna won't suspect anything.

Alex puts some crumbled corn chips on an otherwise decent looking shelf. The shelf breaks and Alex suffers a head injury. He must be taken to the hospital. It is revealed the staff there know the boys very well. Meanwhile Lorna and Vince have spoiled the wedding by kissing intensively during the ceremony and in the limousine after that.

Since the boys don't have any money and they don't want to call their parents because it might ruin the chance for Elisa to stay home. Alex decides to call Mrs. Troiani, his teacher, to ask her to lend them money. She declines and Elisa and Christian give an impassioned depressing speech to her. Alex gets the surgery and the kids are home just in time to meet Vince and Lorna. They are found out but the parents are so relaxed with each other they don't punish them too severely. However it turns out that Alex misunderstood his parents earlier conversation; they weren't considering withdrawing Elisa from the academy if the weekend went well, they were actually considering withdrawing him if they hadn't seen any improvement in him. As the weekend passed without any major incidents, Lorna and Vince are going to keep Elisa at the academy, much to their sons' dismay.

At the show's end, Elisa gets ready to jump over Alex and Christian on his bike, presumably leading to another injury.
