And something bad does happen, when Grandpa moves out (again) after Stu's latest invention, a Reptar robot for Euro Reptar Land, malfunctions in his basement. Meanwhile, Chazz starts to play ""The Dating Game"", after Betty gave him a makeover AND a date each night with one of her loony friends; Betty also had Phil & Lil switch to super-absorbent diapers, the size of extra-large Depends.

And who else but Angelica would put a damper on Chuckie's happiness? While Kira studies for a fairy tale play (which involves Cinderella), Angelica tries to trick Chuckie into thinking that he'll be living the same life as Cinderella -- virtually being a slave to Angelica and Kimi, while everyone else gets ready for a party that will celebrate the newlywed couple's adoption of each other's child, a couple of weeks after their marriage.
