The Super Happy Funtime American School children are gossiping about what Miss Anderson's life is like with her boyfriend Doyle. Miss Katz, Miss Polly and Principal Ench weigh in on the situation, and Ench tells the story of how he met his wife. The arguing and insults result in a dangerous cat-fight.
The Corpse Whisperer
As Maso heads to Shin's apartment, he sees what looks like a corpse fall out of a room. He freaks out and runs away, but it turns out the corpse is really Yu trying out for another role. Soon, Yu invites the kids into her apartment, and Maso is scared out of his wits when he thinks Yu is the murderer.
Concerto in the Key of Butt Minor
Mitzi and Shin notice a glowing object in the mailbox. Hiro opens it and it turns out to be a videotape from Ai inviting the Nohara family to her recital. When the family can't get a decent gift, they decide not to go. This doesn't work, as Mr. K disguised as a box of Chocobees lures Shin into his limo and to the recital. Mitzi grabs some flowers and rushes off to the auditorium.

The Show
Behind the Scenes
- Concerto in the Key of Butt Minor was supposed to air as part of episode 1, Pee Strike. When the writers realized it took place in the apartment, it was placed on hold until the family moved into the apartment, and was inserted appropriately into this half hour. The first episode replaced the vignette with Shin's Allowance.
