When Louis and Jessica praise Eddie for his first time making the honor roll, Evan gets mad because they do not know about all the secret stuff he does to make sure Eddie is prepared for school. Though Evan eventually realizes Eddie is more grown up and does not need him anymore, Eddie later thanks him for all he did. Jessica does a ride-along with a local cop after her editors say her book lacks authenticity. Though much of the day is boring, the two eventually come upon a dead body, making Jessica throw up. Meanwhile, Louis gets a call from Kenny Rogers regarding Kenny Rogers' Roasters' pending bankruptcy. Rogers offers Louis the opportunity to buy out his share of the restaurant for pennies on the dollar, then orders Louis to tell Matthew he is fired. After Louis shares the news, he immediately hires Matthew to work for him.
