Plot[]
When Carl's new rookie partner, Mike Forbes, pays a visit to their home, Laura immediately develops a massive crush. When Mike gets invited to dinner, she does a "slightly" better job dressing herself and comes before Mike dressed very sexy and with behavior she thought of as womanly; while it unbeknownst to her, made her look silly. When Carl laughs at her fancy appearance, her feelings are deeply hurt and she feels ashamed in front of the young officer. All the while, Harriette calls him out for hurting their daughter and demands for him to apologize. Carl and Laura finally make up when he explains he never meant anything bad but as she is his beloved daughter, he can't think of her as anything else but "his little girl". Also, Steve lands close to high tide in his family trip to Hawaii and has a "pleasant" time escaping from a certain Hawaiian woman.
