Plot Overview

Break Yo Mamma's Back!

Mitzi cracks her spine while moving boxes, immobilizing her. Hiro doesn't care and goes to work. Shin isn't helping either. When Mitzi is washing clothes, she runs into her neighbor Summer, who plans to do what she can to help her mentor Mitzi. Of course, all Summer's attempts to help Mitzi fail, and she ends up ruining the clothes and burning the food. At the end of the day, everyone else's back is aching but Mitzi's, and Hiro doesn't remember a thing from the morning.

Hellion Crawler Baby

It's the middle of the day, and Hima's mischief is preventing Mitzi from enjoying her soap operas. First Hima tears up some money. Shin tries to vacuum it up, but they can't put the bills back together. Then Yonrou, with head through the wall, finds Hima dialing a phone. Hiro arrives home and takes off his shirt, but Mitzi immediately discovers lipstick on it and scolds Hiro. Just as things look bad for Hiro, Shin notices Hima has lipstick on and is kissing magazines, thus solving the problem.

Guess Who's Slumming to Dinner

With time at the Falling Apartments drawing to a close, Mitzi gets a great deal for some food online. For the first time in a while the Nohara family is going to eat a good meal. The problem is they don't want anyone to know, so they lock the door and barricade Yonrou's hole. Yonrou arrives home and when looking for human contact through said hole, he notices it has been blocked and gets suspicious. He eavesdrops on the conversation and deciphers that they're eating, so Yonrou goes over and bribes Shin and Hiro with Skymall magazines that have attractive women in them. Mitzi catches Hiro lying to her when she discovers the magazine. Since Hiro didn't shut the door, Yu and Summer also stumble upon the dinner and invite themselves in. The family gives up and makes it a dinner party by inviting the landlady and the two detectives. Only one of the detectives can go because they're spying on a suspect, so Barnie goes with the promise to only be there for ten minutes. Everyone congratulates the Noharas for actually escaping the apartments. Also, Barnie didn't come back, leaving Ken hungry all night.
