Watching these early Married With Children episodes, you will notice how much Al complains about having to have sex with Peggy and how little housework Peggy does. Yet again, the evidence to back up his complaints does not exist. Peggy is seen cleaning as this episode opens, and it will end with Al willingly hitting the sheets with Peggy for the second time in one night! Marcy is seeking experience in the raising of children, and she thinks that getting a chance to take care of Bud and Kelly would be a great course. Peggy plans a weekend away with Al (alone), and much to Steve's chagrin, the kids are thrust upon them. At first Al (naturally) doesn't want to go, but when he finds out that the Motel they will stay at has cable that will allow him to watch a big fight, he acquiesces. Al manages to juggle both the fight and sex with Peggy, while Marcy and Steve wilt under the pressure of watching the kids. With both the fight and the sex completed, the Bundy's decide to come home early and they call the Rhodes to inform them. Marcy and Steve brag about how easy watching the kids was, but realize after the fact that the Bundy's now may ask them to watch the kids all the time. So they finally allow Kelly to have the party she's been begging for (against Peggy's rules). Believing that the Bundy's will be infuriated when they come home to a out of control Kelly bash, they will never ask them to babysit again. The Bundy's pull a fast one, decide to stay at the motel, and Kelly's freak friends destruct the Rhodes house.
*MARCY'S REQUIRED READING: "Kids: Your Bigger Than They Are"
*EYESIES/CLOSESIES: This fun driving game is mentioned for the first time; Bud and Kelly will play it in a future episode, with catastrophic results.
*I RECOGNIZE THAT FACE: Noah Blake plays Kelly's boyfriend for the night. He is the son of the infamous Robert Blake. Blake would appear in another MWC episode a few years later, The Agony of De-Feet.
