Plot summary
A church-run daycare center accepts Lois' wailing newborn, but it comes at a price. Not only must Reese, Malcolm, and Dewey attend Bible-study classes, but Hal and Lois are expected to take part in the church community. Malcolm and Dewey both hate it, Hal bonds well with the church members, Reese accepts God, and Lois has an epiphany about being a terrible mother to her own children. Meanwhile, a rival ranch reports an alien sighting, so Francis fabricates a sighting on Otto's ranch, which gets him arrested.
