Synopsis[]
After Mary unexpectedly un-invites her family to watch her play basketball at an important basketball game, the Camden's begin to make other plans for themselves. Lucy is angry at Mary because she invited Ashley--- a popular girl in Lucy's school to her game. Meanwhile, Simon, Ruthie and Happy get lost in town when pretending to be spies and following their mailman all over town. Lucy was supposed to be babysitting them, but was instead entertaining herself and Ashley by talking on the phone with her boyfriend Jimmy Moon. Also, Eric is faced with counseling a young boy who is once again on his drug habit that is affecting his family.
Notes[]

- This episode marks the first appearance of Corey Conway (Alicia Leigh Willis).
Trivia[]
- Mila Kunis who guest stars in this episode would later get a starring roll in the FOX show That 70s Show.
Goofs & Errors[]
- The picture of the outside of the Camden kids' high school is a lot different than from later episodes when the kids are at school.
- In this episode, it is said that Mary is the only freshman on the varsity team. Corey Conway is on the team and is mean to Mary because she is a younger freshman. Yet in the episode "With Honors", Corey is a senior along with Mary, so Corey should have graduated already, but the show obviously aged Corey slower so that she wouldn't graduate before Mary in order to fit her into the Synopsis.
- During Mary's basketball game, the first time they show the scoreboard, the other team has 56 points, but when they show it again later, they only have 54.
- The scoreboard at the end of the game shows period 2.
- When Eric goes into Simon and Ruthie's room, you can see a crew member in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- In this episode, Eric talks to Simon and Ruthie about drugs together, yet in the Season 2 episode, "Who Knew", Eric, Annie, and Simon all decide Ruthie is too young to hear about drugs.
