Jessica and Honey make their way to the pool hall, witnessing Tony and Louis play, with Honey admitting that Tony looks sexy. Jessica then approaches Tony and asks her why she has a "man's name" she reveals it is short for Antonia and calls her a demon and a witch before ushering Louis away. Jessica later tells Louis that he cannot hang out with a woman at night and adds several other stipulations, such as the woman not being younger than her, could not weigh less than her, could not or ever wanted to be a gymnast, or be taller than her.
After Louis assures her that he isn't interested in Tony other than someone to play pool with, Jessica offers a compromise: Louis could play pool with Tony, but it would have be at the Denim Turtle, under the watchful eye of Deb and the other women. Following Louis injuring his knee and being confined at home in a cast, Jessica offers to manage Cattleman's in his absence, especially with Cattleman's new to-go takeout service premiering that very day, citing that the Cattleman's staff is incompetent.
However, Louis tells Jessica that she cannot fire anyone, as that is Jessica's go-to decision whenever she is in charge. Jessica attempts to use the threat of firing to keep the employees in line, especially Nancy and Mitch, although Mitch reveals that Louis had paged them in advance to notify them that Jessica was not allowed to fire anyone. This upset Jessica, who exclaimed that she could not rule without fear, and was forced to watch as Nancy and Mitch clowned around.
However, after a family who had ordered in advance to pick-up their food asked if they could dine in instead, Jessica informs the family that because they called in advance and paid for their food already, the tip was not included, and that they could use this tactic in the future to dine-in at the restaurant and avoid paying the wait staff any tips, much to Nancy and Mitch's ire. Jessica returns home and finds the kids alone, who inform her that Louis went out to a specific diner for coffee right as they got home.
Heading to the diner, Louis explains that he ran out because he can't handle having the kids to himself all day and spending too much time with them as he cannot entertain them for that long, citing himself as the good cop and Jessica as the bad cop, although Jessica views herself as the good cop.
Returning to work, Jessica takes the tactic even further by creating "Cattleman's To-Go To-Stay" and announces this loophole publicly, causing many customers to use this feature to avoid paying gratuities. As a response, Nancy and Mitch call in fake take-out orders, which upsets Jessica as they wasted Louis' money and food in doing so. She receives a phone call from a baseball coach, who places a take-out order of 20 cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes among other orders, and Jessica, believing it is another fake order, goes along with it as she believes it to be Mitch on the other end, only for Mitch to be behind her and not on a phone.
Jessica returns home to complain about their wasteful actions to Louis, only to find out that Louis had the kids cut off his cast in order to entertain them. The family then goes to the hospital, where Jessica is notified that they must wait six hours, as the doctors will prioritize life-and-death patients over Louis. Jessica attempts to use Louis' mortality as a reason for her being given the power to fire, although he refuses.
She then leaves him at the hospital, telling Louis to spend the remaining six hours with his children. Jessica goes back to Cattleman's and finds out that the baseball team is actually there, with Nancy and Mitch going overboard to cater to their every need.
Feeling bad for them and realizing that they are indeed competent, Jessica asks the coach if he would tip them, although he refuses to do so, stating that he used Cattleman's To-Go To-Stay feature for the very purpose of avoiding tipping.
After the team leaves, Jessica tips Nancy and Mitch out of her own pocket, praising the two for their hard work, and shuts down the To-Stay program. Sometime later, Jessica accompanies Louis to the hospital where has his new cast removed, although they find out that the muscle mass in his leg has decreased.
As Louis cries out that he went from a man's leg to a baby's leg, Jessica quips that his leg does not smell like a baby's leg. While picking up Evan and Emery after school in the Accord, Jessica announced her admiration of the zippering practice the school lanes used for efficiency. However, much to her ire, she was cut off by a woman who did not respect the 'zipper'. Jessica then put the car in park and stormed her way to the other car, arguing with the woman there and referring to her as an idiot, only to find out that the woman was the mother of J.
The woman, named Helen, soon informed Jessica that Evan was not invited to J. Since Evan was looking forward to the party, Jessica attempted to apologize to Helen, citing it was a mutual wrongdoing that was mostly Helen's fault, but telling herself that it was for her angel Evan, brought herself to utter the words "I'm sorry", although much to her displeasure, while Helen accepted the apology, she still claimed Evan was not invited.
On the day of J. Jessica then explained to Helen that their argument should not affect their sons, and Helen revealed that while she agreed, the reason Evan was not invited was not due to their argument but because Evan bossed her son around.
The two then witnessed Evan berate J. Jessica then left and went to Honey's house, notifying her of Evan's bossy behavior and wondering where he got it from.
Honey laughed and responded that Evan got it from her, and as Jessica disagreed, she told Honey that she was making her sandwich wrong and ordered her to tear it down and make it again. Honey then suggested that perhaps Evan was emulating her because he looked up to her. To make amends, Jessica informed the family later at dinner that Evan would be deciding what to drink with their dinner tonight earlier Evan had suggested drinking juice instead of water, only for Jessica to refuse ; however, as Evan listed multiple suggestions for beverages, he sighed in disappointment as Jessica told him they didn't have any of those drinks at home.
Jessica and Louis sat down in their home kitchen to do their "week in review", where they planned out their upcoming week. However, complications arise when Eddie is sent home from school as he has contracted lice, which Jessica believes he received from his sleepover at Dave Selby 's house. Jessica also sits down with Honey to discuss their investment property, and Jessica needs professional photos taken of the house to use in a listing. Since she must deal with Eddie's lice, Honey offers to take the photos for her, although Honey's images do not showcase the house at all, much to Jessica's dismay.
To make matters worse, Evan has lice as well, forcing both parents to keep their two sons outside and, while wearing hazmat suits, to give them lice conditioning shampoo; while Evan is cured, Eddie intentionally washes the shampoo off in order to retain his lice. Jessica soon gets lice, and much to her shock, Louis announces that he would be leaving her temporarily and moving in with Honey and Marvin.
Louis declares that his career is more important than Jessica's and blames her for the children gaining lice despite it not being her fault, citing it's because she is the mother; additionally, Louis attempts to justify that he does in fact support her career by stating that he cleaned and vacuumed the past week and even helped Emery with a school project, although Jessica retorts that he was just being a parent. Jessica is then left to fend for herself, although Louis soon returns, having had a talk with Honey.
Louis presents her with photos he had taken of the investment house for her listing, and tells her that he isn't as evolved as he thinks and that he wants them to be equal partners. He then goes in for a hug, which Jessica initially protests against as he may get lice, although he responds that they'll simply have lice together; Jessica adds that he if does get lice, he would have to stay outside like Eddie does, and Louis responds that he knows.
Jessica invited the neighborhood women along with Honey and Marvin to her house to watch an episode of Melrose Place , only to be shocked to learn about the existence of season finales and how she must wait months for the next episode. Needing something to abate her blues, Honey suggests that Jessica buy a pool for the house, which she does, although she is notified by Evan that having an above-ground pool is subject to approval by the Home Owners Association HOA , and that failure to abide would result in daily fines.
Much to Jessica's surprise, Deidre and the rest of the neighborhood women that comprise the HOA vote against the pool and a cow mailbox that Lisa, a fellow HOA member, had wanted. Honey convinces Jessica that Deidre must have some secrets of her own that they could find, and upon sneaking outside of her house, witness the fact that she secretly wears a wig, which they find as a betrayal to Carol-Joan, who had been constantly using olive oil on her hair at night as per Deidre's advice so she could have the same hair, even at the expense of driving Carol-Joan's husband to sleep in the guest room.
Jessica and Honey, the latter having taken photos as evidence, inform Carol-Joan of Deidre's secret, and are surprised when Carol-Joan reveals that Deidre has another secret: an illegal herb garden in her backyard. As herb gardens are illegal in the neighborhood and one guilty of the infraction having their membership revoked, Deidre is kicked out of the HOA and the rest of the association approve Jessica's pool and Lisa's cow mailbox.
However, Deidre, wearing a black wig, approaches Jessica at her house and informs her that she had been played by Evan and Honey, revealing that the HOA by-laws allow herb gardens planted before August and that hers had been planted in , making it legal. Jessica then confronts Evan and Honey about it, with the latter apologizing, although Jessica found the entire ordeal exciting and similar to Melrose Place.
Jessica then insults the vest Louis had liked wearing, prompting Louis to storm off in anger. After their toaster breaks, the family heads to the bank so that Evan can open a new account, which comes with a free toaster.
Evan is conflicted whether to use his American name or his Chinese name 'Chih Fu', and is aghast when he discovers the name Evan was given randomly, having been named after a nurse named Evans. Jessica then tries to tell him that names aren't as important by revealing that she struggled when using her Chinese name Chu Tsai Hsai, with a professor in college refusing to call upon her as he couldn't pronounce her name. After the professor suggested that she rebrand her name, she revealed that she called herself 'Bob' for a week after her favorite haircut but switched to Jessica, named after The Allman Brothers Band song of the same name , as she had discovered that Bob was the most common name used for males.
Louis points out that if Jessica was trying to convince Evan that names aren't important, then her story did not help. Eventually Evan comes to a decision, although Louis can not decipher the name used. Jessica, however, responds that it was the signature of a doctor and that it did not matter what first name he used since everyone would refer to him as 'Dr. Huang' anyways. The investment property is now on the market, and an interest party, a man named Mr. Jaffrey, agrees to purchase the house.
However, he explains that he would not be moving in, but rather than would rent it, adding that the rent money would pay for the house multiple times over. Jessica then kicks him out of the house and decides to become a landlord instead, although she foregoes credit reports and insurance, among other stuff, believing she would find the perfect renters. She eventually meets Jordan and Raquel, a couple that claimed to have taken the LSATs but have now switched into medicine as it is more lucrative, and have no plans to have children.
Jessica believes them to the perfect tenants and cashes in their check, only for the bank to notify them that the check has bounced. Unable to tell Honey and Jenny about it, Jessica gives them their share out of her own account. She then discovers that they are squatters, who did clinical tests for money and did study law, only to drop out as they found it boring and expensive. Jessica speaks with Officer Bryson , who tells her that the law is on their side, and subsequently decides to have Jerry shut off the heat and water, although the squatting couple manage.
Jessica eventually comes clean to Honey and manages to sell the house to someone else, citing that Jordan and Raquel would now be the new house owner's problem. She then gives Honey and Jenny their shares by cutting them checks, but convinces them to reinvest with her in condominiums.
Eddie asked Jessica to sign a permission slip for a field trip although she refused, telling him that a field trip was a waste of her taxpayer money and that he should just stay at school and study at the library, which upsets Eddie.
However, once Honey informs Jessica that the trip was to Colonial Floridatowne, Jessica agrees to allow Eddie to go, as she loves the Colonial American work ethic, although she tags along as a parent chaperone. Eddie, who is grouped with Walter, Brian, Trent and Dave, believes that Jessica's chaperone will ruin their trip, although to his surprise Jessica becomes "Fun Mom", taking them off the class itinerary and going rogue in order to have fun.
Eddie is then upset, as he had believed that Jessica was incapable of having fun and has come to the realization that since Jessica can have fun, she had willingly chosen to be a strict parent. At home, Jessica explains to Eddie that she cannot be the "Fun Mom" all the time and that "Fun Mom" could not make him do homework and clean his room at the same time.
Eddie comes to the realization that he can have fun because his mom does not, and decides to wake up by himself early and get dressed to save his mother some time. Jessica is appreciative of his consideration, although remarking that she can tell he did not shower, and noting that they now have thirty minutes of spare time, decides to play Super Mario Brothers with him before he heads off to school.
With Emery's graduation from elementary school on the horizon, Louis and Jessica decide to host a post-graduation all-you-can-eat chicken dinner at Cattleman's, with their three sons allowed to bring a friend.
Evan initially declares he would invite J. Eddie states he would invite his girlfriend, Alison, who is performing at Emery's graduation, shocking Jessica as she had no idea Eddie had a girlfriend. Louis tells Jessica that he met Alison and that she's great and Eddie reaffirms this by stating that Jessica would love her, to which Jessica replies by asking Eddie to do the math and check how many people she loves.
Eddie decides to bring Alison home before the graduation dinner so that the two women could get better acquainted; Jessica is initially hesitant as she wanted Eddie to have a Chinese girlfriend, only to be shocked when a Chinese girl named 'Alison' appears.
Jessica is touched by 'Alison' taking off her shoes as she enters their home as well as 'Alison' buying oranges wholesale. In reality, 'Alison' is Audrey, a Chinese friend of the real Alison, whom Alison sent a panicked response to Jessica wanting a Chinese girlfriend for Eddie.
The next evening, Jessica invites 'Alison' to the house for Mah-jong when Eddie shows up with the real Alison. Eddie, noting Jessica's happiness with Audrey, claims that the real Alison is a Girl Scout selling cookies when Jessica asks who she is. At Emery's graduation, Eddie sits next to Jessica and watches as Jessica tries to call out to "Alison", although Audrey doesn't respond.
After Emery gives a speech and praises Jessica for wanting what's best for her sons and Eddie for always being honest and speaking his mind, both Eddie and Jessica make a confession to one another, Eddie declaring that the Chinese girl she knows to be Alison is not his girlfriend and Jessica declaring that she does not like "Alison". Eddie explains what the real Alison did and Jessica states that the real Audrey is too perfect, likening her to tofu, soaking everything up while having no flavor of her own, and tells Eddie that he deserves a girlfriend who has a personality like him.
Jessica then asks which girl is the real Alison, and Eddie points her out, and Jessica is impressed when she sees that Alison is on the first chair on piccolo. Jessica then tells Eddie that perhaps it's okay for him to have a non-Chinese girlfriend so long as she is Chinese at heart. In the aftermath of the graduation, the family plus Alison head to Cattleman's, where Jessica is impressed by Alison, especially when Alison explains that she is so good at piccolo due to constant practice and that she had decided to learn the piccolo due to the various unclaimed piccolo scholarships.
Eddie attempts to spend time with Alison, although Jessica tells him to be a gentlemen and get them more chicken; as he complies, Jessica tells Alison that the boys have to be trained young.
Louis then notices that Audrey, who had come to the dinner as Emery's date, is piling all of their chicken thighs on a single plate, and Jessica wonders out loud why Emery couldn't find himself a nice girlfriend like Eddie did. Evan then appears at the restaurant in his new suit, and holds his hand out for Jessica, referring to her as M'Mommy, and she accepts.
The Huang family plus Alison later watch Malcolm X at the Huang house, although the three Huang sons flee when Jessica brings up the water bill. Jessica notified Louis that his brother Gene Huang had called, whom Louis had had a fight with. Jessica then told Eddie that he could not watch it, claiming that she had heard about the special on the Nightly News and believed it would instigate a race riot. Louis then told Jessica that Gene was coming to visit them and that he had big news to share with them.
Jessica decided to go pay Honey a visit and notify her of Gene's visit, adding that she had met him once when she and Louis went to Taiwan following their engagement, disclosing that Gene did something that made her feel uncomfortable. Jessica spent most of Gene's visit trying to pay him back, before deciding to cut a hole in his bag to place the money. Gene stumbled onto the scene and told her that he had forgotten about it, but that if paying him back meant so much to her, she could, surprised that she would go to such lengths for it.
Jessica then went to bed content that her debt had been paid, only for Louis to inform her that she shouldn't have paid him back since he owes them thousands of dollars, revealing that he has been sending money to his younger brother for years. Shocked, Jessica's train of thought was interrupted by a crashing noise in the living room, and they saw that Gene had broken their piano.
Jessica then witnessed Gene and Louis argue and discovered that their father only had enough money to send one of them to the United States, and while Louis and Gene were both engaged in a "Chinese polite fight", Louis broke it and accepted it, much to Gene's anger. As a result of their fight, Gene takes Grandma Huang and returns to Taiwan, leaving a note disinviting them for the wedding.
In response, Louis tells them that they would be going to Taiwan, and Jessica, noting that Eddie, Emery and Evan are watching Bring the Pain , simply tells them to turn off the "race riot. Arriving in Taiwan, Jessica informed the Customs Agent that she was here to get money back from her brother-in-law who wronged her, to which the agent told her to check that box on the form.
As Louis displayed surprise that such an option was on the form, Jessica merely smiled and stated that she was home. Outside the airport, as they were loading their taxi, Louis asked why Jessica had brought an empty suitcase, and Jessica responded that it was to store things she would purchase from the night market to bring back home, such as school clothes and Christmas gifts. Jessica then heard Evan mention that they were tourists and told him that they weren't since this was their home, despite Evan mentioning that they he and his brothers had never been to Taiwan before.
Jessica initially relished being back in Taiwan, looking forward to eating seafood soup and shopping at the night market, although she was unable to get the lunch she wanted, forced to go to McDonalds instead, and ended up buying the bad counterfeits at the night market, with Big Auntie telling her that her negotiating muscle had atrophied. While attending Gene and Margaret 's wedding, Louis suggested that they move back to Taiwan for a better life. Jessica, however, stated that she missed Orlando and wanted to have a bagel, and that while they could have a better life in Taiwan by using connections, they had earned their success on their own back in the States.
Jessica added that no one loved the USA more than Louis and that he would miss it if they moved to Taiwan, with Louis stating that Jessica would miss Taiwan when she returned back to Orlando, prompting Jessica to solemnly declare that perhaps they would not feel at home in either location.
Upon returning back home, Jessica was vexed to discover that someone had left the air conditioning running in their absence. Jessica and Louis installed televisions at Cattleman's to show the Summer Olympics , which brought in more crowds and increased the restaurant's success.
Jessica cheered for Nigeria during the Olympics; as Evan and Emery wondered why she didn't support the USA or Chinese Taipei, the latter being her homeland, Jessica merely replied that her homeland was whoever was the best, and that was who she would root for. Returning home, the pair noticed a watermelon on the floor that Eddie had dropped, and Jessica lamented that she wished she had help cleaning around the house.
As a result, Louis hired a housekeeper named Mary, although Jessica was extremely offended by it, crowding over as Mary cleaned. She got into a fight with Louis about it, but allowed Mary to clean as she was paid for it before driving her home, although not before exacting gas money from her. Jessica was soon called into Cattleman's so that Mary could clean once more, having been hired again by Louis.
While appreciative of Mary's cleaning, Jessica explained that this is what she was afraid of, that they would hire people to cut their grass or do their taxes. Louis wondered why it was bad to do so if they could afford it, and Jessica explained that family are meant to do things for each other instead of hiring it; Louis added that he hired people at Cattleman's to do things he did not like, although Jessica iterated that she did not wish to run her home like a business and that, while she did not love cleaning up after her family, she liked that her family needed her, even if she would resent them for being unappreciative.
Louis then told her that he would let her clean the house by herself from now on. Halloween season began, with Louis waking up in the middle of the night to scare his family, although this resulted in Jessica punching him. Jessica did not agree with the notion of Halloween and did not see the point in celebrating it. Louis tried multiple times to scare her to no avail. Jessica decided to spend the holiday attempting to write a horror novel, and was soon asked by Eddie if he could attend a high school Halloween party; while Jessica refused, Louis intervened and allowed Eddie to go, citing that Jessica did not have a say since she did not celebrate the season.
As Louis, Emery and Evan prepared to go out for Halloween, Jessica received a call from Officer Bryson that they had to pick up Eddie from the police station, as he had been at a party with no adult supervision. Coming back home, Jessica berated Louis for not checking before agreeing to send Eddie. Louis mentioned how he wished to spend Halloween with Jessica much like how Jessica always wants Louis around during Christmas, stating that Halloween was to him what Christmas was to her.
Realizing how much her family loved Halloween, Jessica woke up her family early morning on November 1st, waking Eddie up by using a fan to waft the smell of bacon and waking up Emery and Evan using the smell of a history textbook.
The Huangs went to Honey's house, although Honey had no candy. Honey was confused why Halloween was being celebrated after October 31st, to which Jessica responded that people had their Christmas lights on after Christmas yet make a big deal about celebrating Halloween a day later. Honey is feeding Maria while Marvin groans about the game.
Honey has also given birth to her second child, a daughter named Liza , who sleeps. Louis announces that while he would forget about the game in 24 hours, this is his current focus, with him, Eddie , and Evan wearing USA jerseys to support their country while Jessica wears a jersey representing China. The game concludes 45 minutes after going into overtime when Brandi Chastain successfully shoots a penalty goal against China, granting the United States team the victory.
However, when Chastain gets on his knees and rips off her jersey in victory, the sight of her in her sports bra causes Evan to gain an erection, forcing him to flee from the room immediately. Jessica gives Honey advice.
The next day, Emery arrives at the breakfast table to discuss his electives for ninth grade. Honey also arrives, needing Jessica's advice as she cannot get Maria to eat anything. Jessica suggests tricking Maria, exemplifying how she gets Eddie to eat a banana right as he eats a hot dog, citing it as a way to get Eddie to eat fruit. Just then, Louis walks in with a copy of Orlando Tribune , with the headlines discussing the US World Cup victory and with a photo of Chastain in her sports bra.
The picture arouses Evan once more, who flees from the kitchen. Louis observes Evan's unusual mannerism, and Eddie realizes what has transpired, informing Louis, Honey and Jessica that Evan has received the first case of the "tingles. They include Jibbitz charms for an extra touch. A sore neck is, to put it simply, annoying.

Let me introduce you to the 78 most important cards of your life: the tarot cards. In contrast, roundtable seating arrangements lead to instructors and students engaging in more active learning activities, resulting in improved learning outcomes Brooks Further studies demonstrate that students prefer more flexible seating arrangements Harvey and Kenyon, In particular, students express a preference for classrooms with mobile vs.
In general, spaces designed in a student-centered manner, focusing on learner construction of knowledge and collaboration, can support student learning Rands and Gansemer-Topf, In reality, many classrooms at colleges and universities have been built using more conventional models for lecture and seminar-type courses. Instructors can consider ways to modify seating arrangements and align those arrangements with the demands of classroom activities to maximize student learning.
The traditional lecture setup typically consists of rows of fixed seating. Students face the instructor with their backs to one another. The highest communication interactions between professors and students typically occurs with students in the first row or along the middle of the classroom.
Students in back rows are more likely to be less engaged. Many seminar-course room arrangements may consist of an instructor and students sitting around a single large table. This seating arrangement can also be formed using individual desks. Students and instructors all face one another in this setup, which can support whole-class as well as partner dialogue.
The horseshoe or semi-circle offers a modified roundtable setup, where all participants face each other while the instructor can move about the room. The horseshoe encourages discussion between students and with the instructor, although this setup tends to encourage more engagement between the instructor and students directly opposite, with slightly lesser amounts for students immediately adjacent to the instructor. A horseshoe setup can be particularly effective when the instructor wishes to project and discuss course-related material in the front of the class.
This seating arrangement involves an inner and outer horseshoe, and similar to the conventional horseshoe, invites greater discussion than the traditional format. It is more limited by the backs of students within the inner circle facing students in the outer circle. However, students may also more easily interact with those nearest to them or turn around and face students behind them for group work.
The pod or pair arrangement can be designed with rectangular, circular or trapezoidal tables, or individual desks. With regards to stations, instructors can place several tables together to form student groups e. B eds.
