Jim agrees to take the girls for the day but leaves the girls with another mom and goes to the movies... where he's busted by Cheryl; things go from bad to worse when he can't remember who he left them with.
Cheryl gets sick, and Jim is forced to entertain a gaggle of little girls at Ruby's slumber party.
Jim tells Ruby's teacher that his wife is illiterate in order to lighten his daughter's homework load.
The spouses of Lois' former classmates are disappearing--and Clark may be the next victim. Professional football player STEVE YOUNG (himself) guest stars. Series star TERI HATCHER co-wrote the episode.
