Plot summary
When Stevie goes to the hospital, Malcolm tries making up every excuse he can think of not to go because he can't face the truth about his illness. Meanwhile, Hal gets highly competitive about his new remote-controlled boat when a ten-year-old keeps knocking it over. Lois thinks Dewey is sabotaging her after she forgets to get him baking soda for a school project, and Reese's new job as a telemarketer turns into a life-or-death situation when he has to deal with a suicidal man on the other line.
