During one of Suga Mama's driving antics, she accidentally causes Penny to get a hairline fracture on her leg, leaving her benched before the next football game. It's revealed that Suga Mama's driver's license has long expired, which then forces her to call Trudy to take her to different places. The constant juggling between taking care of Penny and driving Suga Mama around eventually drives Trudy crazy, so she makes Oscar take the latter to the DMV so that she can renew her license. The visit ends horribly on the driving test, which causes Suga Mama to lose her confidence. One day, when the family visits Suga Mama to cheer her up, she surprisingly mistakes Penny for Puff. They soon learn that her glasses are defective and that Puff was the one who helped her at the DMV until she took the driving test, which prohibits pets. Dr. Payne gives Suga Mama a new pair of glasses, which later helps her pass the driving test and get her license renewed. She eventually takes Penny to the football game to support her team, but in the process, she loses (and breaks) her new glasses and drives around the stadium.
