When Erica is pulled over for speeding and her parents refuse to pay the fine, she comes up with a plan to rip off the school's leniency policy by pretending she's met with the school counselor and convincing them to cancel her detention.
Meanwhile, Barry and Adam team up to court the ultimate woman of their dreams - Lainey. They decide to use Fonzie from Happy Days as inspiration, with Barry donning a leather jacket and using his best "Ayyyyy" impression to impress Lainey. But the plan quickly goes awry when Barry's antics become too over-the-top and Lainey becomes fed up with his insincerity.

Erica learns that there are consequences to her actions and that sometimes it's important to face them head-on.
