Bob is celebrating his three-week anniversary with his new lady, Charlotte. He forwards pictures of his true love to Frankie’s phone. She never knew her cell phone had video capabilities. She decides to take advantage of the technology by recording her kids whenever they give her a hard time. But Frankie has a rude awakening when she goes to the videotape. Turns out she’s a yeller.
Frankie vows to change her ways. She makes a deal with her kids. She’ll calmly ask them to do things only once and she’ll trust them to adhere to her requests without any follow-up. Days go by and Frankie has no way of knowing if her kids are coming through, as she promised not to nag. As the urge to yell builds, Frankie stays true to her word and remains a mum mom.
Much to her surprise, Frankie discovers that her kids are stepping up and taking some responsibility. Brick managed to find a hat for hat day. Sue arranges for a ride to majorette tryouts. And just when Frankie thought it couldn’t get any better, she sees Axl writing his history paper on his own. Way to go, Frankie!
