Reese is accused of stealing at his new job, Dewey tries to convince his parents he can keep a goldfish alive, and Malcolm chafes when a super-genius joins his class.

Malcolm and the other Krelboynes hang out with the Jocks, Goths, Posers and other cliques when they are forced to attend regular classes, while Hal and Reese race to see who will be the first to knock down Dewey's domino set-up.

Malcolm reveals Cynthia's big secret to Reese, Dewey helps Hal overcome his fear of kites, and a neighbour makes amends to Lois and Francis becomes enchanted with a totem pole.

The team try to track down a stalker to protect a woman from Silver Spring, Maryland. Meanwhile, Hotch and Rossi head to Boston to investigate a murder.

While Malcolm and the Krelboyne geeks do battle with a tough teacher, Francis has had enough of emancipation and pleads with Lois to let him come home.

Malcolm suffers extreme humiliation during his first week as a high school freshman, while Dewey loves being a latchkey kid and scarily, Francis becomes the responsible one at work.
