J.B. Gaynor

It's a Christmas to remember when Martin sings in a church pageant, Niles gets stuck in an elevator, and Frasier spills the beans about Roz's pregnancy to her unsuspecting mother.

After Max's mischievous friend Ricky (recurring guest star J.B. GAYNOR) causes more trouble in the Lopez home, George bans him from the house. But Angie persuades George to allow Ricky to live there temporarily because Ricky's parents are having marital trouble. Ricky continues to be a bad influence on Max, however, forcing George to confront Ricky's mother--and George finds out why Ricky has so many behavioral problems. Meanwhile, Ernie enjoys coaching kids' soccer until he learns how involved in the game the parents get.

When George and Angie get into major financial trouble, Benny secretly asks Lydia (guest star CRISTINA - host of the Spanish-language talk show "El Show de Cristina"), the second wife of George's estranged father, for help. Meanwhile, George does his best to obtain extra money--leading him to encounter some disreputable characters.

When Ernie considers marrying a troubled woman, Tammy (GIGI RICE), George risks their friendship to keep him from making the biggest mistake of his life.

Max is excited about the Lopez family's trip to Disneyland, but George refuses to go because it reminds him of his deprived childhood. However, he becomes overwhelmed with guilt that he is not sharing the fun with his son. After convincing Benny to drive him to the amusement park, George fails to find his family. But he does get to experience a day at "the happiest place on earth" for the first time in his life--alone with his mom.
