Episode synopsis
Steve and Lori are told by Kate's principal that their daughter has been caught running a sports-book on her high school's intramural teams. Despite being proud of his daughter's "entrepreneurial spirit", Steve convinces the school's janitor (who longs to produce and direct the semi-autobiographical teen slasher script he's written) to give him access to the school's records so Steve can destroy any evidence of Kate's wrongdoings. Kate is annoyed by her mother's new-found obsession with on-line dating. Steve visits Lori's father, a once-shady businessman who is responsible for teaching Kate how to run a sports-book. Steve dispenses some ill-fated corporate advice to Scott, a twelve-year old kid who lives in a van near Steve's car.
