When Linda comes over to the house to have a private discussion with Danny about it, it starts as a simple parent-teacher conference (with Linda showing Danny some colored flash cards with Spanish words on them, such as “el sofa” for sofa (and Danny remarks, “The sofa is ‘el sofa’? How could she get a D in this language?” and Linda replies, “Well, they’re not all that easy.”) and “perro” for dog, respectively, in the living room with the blue-and-white checkered couch. It soon ends with an unexpected burst of passion as the smitten Senorita Mosley tries to show him how to roll the double R in Spanish (after telling him the importance of the letter ‘R’ in the Spanish language), only to plant a kiss on him. When she apologizes, Danny tells her it felt nice, and Linda feels better. So they kiss a second time; however, the second kiss is ill-timed because that is when D.J. and some of her friends walk through the kitchen door and into the living room, and they take notice of it. Much to D.J.’s utter mortification, the kiss is an event that the whole school is soon buzzing about.
D.J. soon becomes a target for highly unwelcome teasing, and she is absolutely furious at her dad for making her a target for teasing (and for not getting her Spanish grade changed).
Danny apologizes to D.J. for making her a target for teasing, and then eventually gets her to admit that the more difficult the Spanish class became, the more she just gave up on it, because she thinks she is no good at it. However, Danny manages to encourage his oldest daughter that he will be proud of her for trying as hard as she can, especially in something she finds to be hard to do, and D.J. thanks him.
Meanwhile, Mr. Malatesta gives Michelle a spot in a marshmallow commercial that Joey and Jesse have been assigned to work on. Joey and Jesse groom Michelle to star in the commercial. She is to sit on a cloud, eat a marshmallow, and exclaim, “yummy in the tummy.” However, she overpractices by eating too many marshmallows before the actual filming, and as a result, Michelle is full when the camera starts rolling.
Also, Stephanie has gotten a good report card, but her teacher writes, “Stephanie is a wonderful student, but she needs to control her talking in class.” When Danny makes the mistake of telling her she has to “stop being such a little chatterbox,” she says, “So, my own family thinks I’m a chatterbox? How rude.” When Danny says, “Steph...” she interrupts him, saying, “No, no, it’s fine. From now on, this chatterbox is all locked up” before making a motion of zipping her mouth and throwing away the key. With that, Stephanie stops speaking for about three days — which makes Danny feel a little regretful.
