While Elyse flies to a convention in Michigan, Steven is in charge - even of the mouse hunt which scares Mallory and Alex, while Jennifer is willing to help but understandably doubts success. Skippy drops by and is completely ignored as always by Mallory, whom the equally stupid but sweet scorned kid has been following like a puppy for years - but he considers his life suddenly finding meaning when Jane, Mallory's latest friend, walks in. Seeing it's literal when Skippy asks him to talk to her, as he can't find words with girls, Alex accepts to help him.
