Shock and Aww - Plot

Plot

Michael is sharing his bed for the first time in years; unfortunately, it is with his younger brother, Buster. George Michael has developed a crush on his ethics teacher. Lucille barges in with a problem: her adoption application (filled out in a rage last year when Buster wouldn't finish his cottage cheese) came through and now a young Korean boy is hers. Michael then gets a call from Gob, who has lined up two women for them. Upstairs, Lindsay misinterprets George Michael's crush on his ethics teacher as a desire to set up a date for his father. Michael meets up with Gob and the two women, who turn out to be a high school student (Gob's date) and her frighteningly masculine chaperone named Nazhgalia, whom Gob intends for Michael. Michael is kind to her, which Gob reads as romantic interest. His jealousy and still-simmering anger over Marta kicks in.

At a parent-teacher conference, Michael sees the new ethics teacher, Miss Baerly. He is immediately attracted and asks her out for a drink. Meanwhile, George Sr. is dealing with his own admirer, a woman who visits him in prison and fawns over him. Later, Lucille calls Michael in a panic: the Korean boy, whom she named Annyong (Korean for "hello"), is in her apartment. Buster comes home and when Lucille notices his jealousy over the adopted boy, she decides she'll keep him after all.

Michael and Miss Baerly have a second date and spend the night together; the next morning Michael sees Nazhgalia just leaving after having spent the night with Gob. George Michael comes down and before Michael can tell him about the Miss Baerly development, George Michael reveals that he's in love with her. When he sees her come down the stairs, George Michael is devastated; Michael abandons ethics and tells his son that Gob slept with her. Over at the prison, George Sr. is preparing for an evening with his devoted fan, Cindi Lightballoon. She is really an FBI agent planning to catch George Sr. incriminating himself on tape. She presses him for details; when he tries to fondle her through the fence, the agents in the surveillance van panic, thinking he's found their camera. Meanwhile, Michael visits Miss Baerly to say he cannot see her anymore because George Michael is in love with her.

At the school dance, Miss Baerly tells Michael he has to tell his son the truth if he wants to see her again. George Michael, meanwhile, confronts Gob about sleeping with Miss Baerly. Gob is there to apologize to Shannon for sleeping with her chaperone. Michael finally tells his son the truth about Miss Baerly, and a gloating Gob tells Michael he slept with her too (he actually slept with the much-older civics teacher). Miss Baerly overhears Michael talking to George Michael, decides that Michael is moving too fast, and breaks off all contact. She goes off with another student.
