Full Plot[]

PJ and Emmett are seen playing "Paper Football", a fake game they made up. Teddy then enters, practicing the "Paper Football" topic. PJ doesn't understand what she is talking about but Teddy explains she joined the school's Debate team and has to be ready to discuss the pros and cons of any topic. When Amy returns from the hospital, she reminds PJ that he is supposed to see the dentist, but he "forgets." However Amy tells him she dropped a lot of obvious hints, she then asks when he'll stop being scared and he says when they stop using those pointy tools and claims that his tooth is feeling better. Although Amy calls his bluff when she makes him bite an apple, after he leaves he screams. Gabe and Jo are upset about doing a school assignment on Hawaii. Bob settles their fight and encourages them to create a volcano.

Later, Amy advises that she and PJ have a "Mommy and PJ" day after school tomorrow. PJ rejects it, and Amy is sad about it. Teddy suggests that she and Amy have a "Mommy and Teddy" day, but after PJ exits, Amy says it's a "PJ and Dentist" day. Teddy sees a "Take Gabe to Laser Tag" reminder on the fridge and asks Amy what it is. Amy replies that it is for Gabe's haircut. Bob then enters and finds a gift certificate to a spa that expires the next day. He advises to take Amy on that day, but Amy rejects it saying that she needs to take PJ to the dentist. Teddy then tells Amy to go and that she'll get PJ to the dentist. The next day, Jo and Gabe end up being lazy and played video games while Bob is making a model of their active volcano. After Bob and Amy are about to leave, Amy is frustrated by an opossum that Bob was called to exterminate.

Teddy tells Gabe and Jo that she and PJ have to leave for the dentist and that they will be in charge of Charlie while she is gone. Teddy then bites a cherry tomato and complains that she broke her tooth and PJ agrees to take her to the dentist. After PJ and Teddy leave, Amy complains about Bob taking too long to kill the possum. Gabe begins to encounter problems with Charlie after she has a bad diaper accident. Gabe asks Jo to help him but she rejects, saying she has work to do. Gabe then has to feed Charlie and Charlie begins to be stubborn about the foods she eats, which frustrates Gabe. He orders Jo to get in there, and while she almost leaves Gab tells her he has never been left alone with Charlie before so Jo finally agrees to help him. Meanwhile, at the dentist, PJ says to the receptionist that Teddy needs to see the dentist. The receptionist demands his last name, and he answers, "Duncan," and the receptionist explains that the dentist was expecting to see PJ. PJ acts like it is incorrect, and Emmett says it is correct and PJ becomes scared of the dentist. Teddy and Emmett try to keep him from exiting, and Emmett accidentally whacks Teddy in the mouth with a toothbrush, which also makes her have to see the dentist and really breaks her tooth. PJ is numb while Teddy has cotton in her mouth, then goes to her debate. When Bob and Amy get home, Amy was sprayed by a skunk. At the end, Gabe substitutes the video diary for Charlie.
