Nick and Suzanne have been married for about six months, and the new blended family is beginning to experience growing pains. Nick thinks the kids don't love him, and Suzanne is coming to bed looking less than sexy. Much to Nick's displeasure, Suzanne has decided to hyphenate her name.

Nick wants to buy a new car for work, but gets a hard time from Suzanne about their tight budget. Meanwhile, Kevin and Martin unknowingly compete in a tennis multi-player video game via the Internet.

Nick decides the kids need to bond with his mother and asks that they spend time together. Suzanne has a day off, but she doesn't know what to do.
