Episode Title:
License to Parent.
Episode Description:
After Earl is repeatedly ticketed by an overzealous officer of the Parent Patrol for his poor relationship with Baby, he is sent to "Parents Ed", but fails miserably and is ordered not to parent for thirty days until he retakes the test. The ticketing officer is assigned to live with the Sinclairs' to observe Earl, making Fran the only authority figure in the house. A frustrated Earl points out Fran's parental inadequacies, causing her to lose her parental license, too. Thankfully, their home returns to normal after Officer Bettlhiem "loses it" while trying to care for Robbie, Charlene, and Baby while Earl and Fran realize that good parenting comes from the heart, while the manual can be used as backup under certain circumstances.
