Bill gets suspended from school while Frank tries to get some concert tickets for Kevin.
Tropes:
- Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption: Near the end, when driving home from the concert, Frank's speech about family goes off the rails when he sees the giant fire Bill has inadvertently caused.Frank: It's moments like this that I wouldn't trade what I have for...FUCK!
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Frank and Susan yell at each other since each of them had a very stressful day and it soon culminates with them having intercourse.
- Blackmail: Maureen blackmails Bill by threatening to reveal his suspension to their parents if he doesn't do whatever she wants him to.
- Bully Hunter: Bill tries to find Jimmy in his fortress in a fit of anger after hearing his Dad call him a pussy.
- Cool Big Bro: When Kevin learns about Bill's suspension, he forges Frank's signature on the school's form so that their parents won't find out about it and Bill won't have to face Frank's wrath.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Frank puts it best when Susan says that they only put up with Kevin's shitty attitude is due to an incident where he nearly drowned at a motel swimming pool when he was an infant.Frank: Look, just because you drown a little bit, doesn't give you the excuse to be an asshole for the rest of your fucking life!
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Bill throws up on the table during dinner when reminded of witnessing Frank and Sue having sex.
