Hal begins coaching Dewey's soccer team, much to Dewey's horror, and Malcolm gets unexpected results when he programs his new computer to act out the lives of his family.

Hal accuses Abe of cheating him at poker, Francis gets cabin fever after being trapped in a storm, and Reese and Lois strut their stuff at a dance class.

As Malcolm and his brothers cheekily mine personal profit from church charity work, Francis gets a taste of life in the unlikely setting of an Alaskan logging camp.

Hal is scared when he finds a lump, and feels a new-found love for his family. As Dewey loses the class hamster, Lavernia challenges Francis to a fight. Will he lose to a girl?

At Hal's company picnic, Malcolm's date hates him and Hal avoids his new boss.

Craig's new helper monkey turns vicious, Reese tries to control the neighbourhood after successfully subduing a prowler, and Francis's wife and best friend hate each other.
