Raising Expectations

Questions arise regarding the validity of a heroic story from Wayne's past in the series premiere of a sitcom about perfectionist parents raising a brood of overachievers—plus one son who is content with mediocrity.

Wayne and Conner disagree about whether a tree in the front yard should be removed. Meanwhile, Adam and Bentley join forces to repair the air conditioner.

Conner grows tired of her brothers interfering with her dating life, and Emmett's attempt to trade a date with her for a bike discount proves to be the last straw.

When the stench coming from Emmett's room is determined to be mold, the family calls a fumigator who claims he only needs to tent Emmett's room.

Emmett will do anything to get to a local hot dog eating contest, even if it means disobeying Paige and tunneling through the basement wall to freedom. Adam and Bentley stumble upon a mysterious stash of chocolate covered raisins.

Paige thinks the Wayneys are too reliant on their electronic devices so she leads them on a family camping trip to The Devil's Ottoman. Paige's plans for them to reconnect with each other and commune with nature are only half-successful.
