6. Sleepover

Malcolm spends the night at Stevie's, but finds his parents to be overbearing. After they are put to bed early, Malcolm convinces Stevie to sneak out to an arcade downtown. As they leave, they realize that Stevie's wheelchair has been stolen, and they look for it, tracking it down to two older teenagers, who run off and leave them the wheelchair. Meanwhile, to prove that he is mature, Lois challenges Reese to put Dewey to sleep in exchange for being allowed to watch a horror movie; the task proves more difficult than Reese expected, and ends with him falling asleep from exhaustion as Dewey watches the movie.

Francis is hazed by a group of upperclassmen, dubbed the "Brothers of the Apocalypse", who engage in cult-like behavior. When he is kidnapped, he tells them that their tricks are amateurish compared to Lois' behavior, and so the students decide to worship her and adopt her ways.
