Barney finds out that Ted and Robin split up two weeks before Marshall and Lily's wedding, but kept it secret so they wouldn't overshadow the event.

The kids fear that an act of disobedience by Jack could lead to Dre and Rainbow going back on their word and reinstating spanking.

Advertising executive Dre happily anticipates a promotion, while Andre Jr wants to covert to Judaism and have a bar mitzvah like his friends.

Dre worries that his older kids are going to ruin his Halloween fun by refusing to take part in the Johnson tradition of seeing who can pull the most outlandish pranks on each other.

After Dre's children turn their collective noses up at his favourite cheap restaurant in his old neighbourhood, he decides it's time to give them a reality check and insists that they all get part-time jobs.

When Dre's mother Ruby comes to stay, she smothers her son with love but just can't seem to get along with Rainbow. So Dre must find a way to persuade the two most important women in his life to bury the hatchet.
