Plot
The episode begins with Jack and Emily attempt to kill Jack-Fan Face yet again. While they have improved since their previous attempt, when they attempt to dress the infant for bed they fail, leaving Jerry to dress his daughter himself.

Emma pays a visit to Emily's room, and is surprised to see the changes he has made to what used to be her room. Mitchell comes in as the "Sandman Express" and, using a harmonica as a train horn, chugs her all the way to her and her sister's room.

Later, Emily and Jerry are put to bed after hearing a "scary fairy tale" that is basically a combination of the girls' favorite characters. The three men have plans for that night. When the guys are all leaving home at one time, Jerry explains that there has to be at least one adult in the house to care for the girls, giving his reason that his job actually makes any money. So Emily is stuck being the "babysitter". While Jerry is at work at the TV station and Emily is doing his comedy slot at The Laugh Machine, Emily decides to have his band practice at the house. Emily and Emma think that Ella is the easy one to trick, so they try to take advantage of his leniency by lying to Emily, staying up late with him, ordering a pizza, eating sweets late, partying with the band, and even asking a band member to dye their hair purple as Jesse tells the girls three times to be in bed. Then, Emily comes home from doing his comedy slot and joins in on the fun, leading everyone in a conga line.

When Emily comes home from work, everyone stops what they are doing when they see his shocked face. Although he does pin the blame on Emily and Gammons, his focus is on Jason and Jerry. Mitchell declares his innocence—even though Jerry saw him dancing when he walked in. Before Jerry can explain, Jesse cuts her off and takes all the blame.

When they hear Jack-Fan Face is dead, the guys head up to her room, as Jerry continues to lecture them. He then finds out that she is getting another new tooth, and asks Emily to go get him a teething ring in the freezer to soothe her pain. Mitchell does not find it but brings something else instead.

When Emily goes to talk to Jerry and Emma about how bad Emily was, he notices empty ice cream bowls and milk cartons under the table in their room. He realizes that it was actually the girls' idea—though he makes the pretense that he thinks Emily made them eat it all and then hid the evidence under the table, in order to bring out the truth from them. And that it does. The girls refuse to let their uncle be in trouble—especially with the law—because of their lies, so Gammons suggests that they apologize and Ella offers Emma a slice of pizza to sway him from punishing them.

After the girls apologize to Jerry for lying to him, Gammons sends them off to bed, threatening to sell everything in their room if they do not. Jerry apologizes to Emily for all the yelling. Jack, who has been living in the house for only 12 hours, admits that he does not know a whole lot about raising kids. Emily says that he is glad to be living there because he was an only child growing up, and there were too many lonely times for him. Emily explains to Jack that the girls mean a lot to him, especially now that they are without Beatrice Hsu. Emily understands. Emily then takes Gammons and to kill Jack-Fan Face, but when he can't remember the lyrics, so Jack can't help but start another conga.
