I Hate My Teenage Daughter

After Sophie and Mackenzie lock a student in the school bathroom, Annie and Nikki must punish their daughters by not allowing them to attend the school dance. On the night of the dance, the mothers try to hold firm on their decision, despite the girls' best efforts to derail their punishments, while the fathers make the situation worse.

In an effort to reconnect with the girls, Annie reinstates an old tradition of "Family Night," even though the adults are all now divorced. Of course, nothing goes right: the girls try to escape; Nikki becomes outraged after learning that Gary is dating someone new; and Annie is thrown for a loop when Jack shows up with a hot date.

As the girls prepare for a father-daughter dance, Annie and Jack suspect Matt will bail on Sophie -- as usual. So Jack is on stand-by with his tuxedo. Meanwhile, Mackenzie doesn't want Nikki to attend the dance and embarrass her. But it's Gary who ends up being the center of attention.

Annie reluctantly agrees to let Sophie start dating a sixteen-year-old boy and is pleasantly surprised when she sees the positive influence he has over her, until he reveals a little surprise of his own. Meanwhile, Jack agrees to help Mackenzie on a school report about the court system and, in return, gets makeover advice from both Nikki and Mackenzie when they decide he needs a little "flash" and "pop" in order to win a court case he's worried about.

When Sophie tells Annie that she does not care about getting good grades, Annie decides to set an example by taking night classes at the local community college. Nikki joins her in a Spanish class and is surprisingly fluent as she frequently watches telenovelas. Meanwhile, the dads are in charge of getting the girls to finish an important school project.

Annie steps outside of her comfort zone when she accepts a dinner date with her former Spanish instructor, Alex. Meanwhile, an envious Jack runs a background check on Alex and discovers that he is hiding a secret that Jack and Nikki decide Annie needs to know about.

It's Spring Break and Annie decides to take the entire gang on a road trip in Matt's tour bus. Annie and Nikki think the road trip will be a great opportunity to spend quality time with the girls. But togetherness starts to wear thin as the girls are anything but thrilled to be trapped with their parents in an RV headed for the Ozarks.

When Principal Diego breaks up with her husband, Annie and Nikki befriend their now-vulnerable nemesis to get her to write letters of recommendation for Sophie and Mackenzie, who are applying for a competitive college prep summer program. Meanwhile Matt asks Jack's assistant out on a date despite his objection.

Annie and Nikki prepare to throw their daughters a double birthday bash, but the girls think their moms' ideas are lame and want a "Mad Men"-themed celebration instead. At the party, Annie's outfit receives a lot of attention from the boys, much to Sophie's embarrassment. Meanwhile, Matt forgets to get a gift for his daughter and looks to Jack for help.

When Sophie earns a spot on the high school cheerleading squad -- but Mackenzie doesn't -- tensions run high between mothers Annie and Nikki. Meanwhile, Matt and Gary want to fire the worst guy on their basketball team, which happens to be Jack.

Mackenzie and Sophie are invited to a seniors party but Annie has her concerns.

When financial issues threaten to keep Sophie and Mackenzie from going on a class ski trip, Jack offers Sophie a job.

Sophie gets tired of being controlled by Annie, so she moves in with her dad. Annie turns into a mess, but is comforted by Jack. Matt learns about parental responsibility.
