Plot summary

Jessica ( Hayden Panettiere ) moves in on a temporary basis and teaches Malcolm how to manipulate others, but when he uses her tricks on Lois he feels something he has never felt before: empathy. Meanwhile, Hal battles a bee who is out for revenge for killing the rest of his hive, and Reese mails himself to China to get the fireworks and nunchucks that his Chinese penpal won't give him, but Dewey decides it would be funnier to leave Reese in the garage and make it sound like he's being shipped to China, which ends with Jessica's East Asian boyfriend beating up Reese.
