When George Sr. is rushed to the emergency room Meemaw comes to babysit; the kids have an adventure getting to the hospital on their own.

To appease his worried mother Sheldon employs the techniques of a self-help book to try and make a friend.

Sheldon gets into trouble with fellow child genius Paige at the Science Museum while George Sr. is forced to play therapist to Paige’s bickering parents Barry and Linda (guest stars JOSH COOKE and ANDREA ANDERS). Meanwhile Mary Georgie and Missy help Meemaw with a garage sale.

Mary clashes with Sheldon’s drama teacher Mr. Lundy (returning guest star JASON ALEXANDER) over plans for a Halloween haunted house fundraiser for the church. Also Georgie falls for a rebellious teenage girl that Sheldon is tutoring.

A neighborhood battle erupts between the Coopers and the Sparks when the Sparks’ new dog terrorizes Sheldon.

In the season premiere episode Sheldon dismantles the refrigerator to stop an annoying hum; and then must get a paper route to pay for the repairs.
