While Hal recovers, Matt inadvertently reveals to him that Lois actually had a third boyfriend, leading to a serious confrontation between Hal and Lois.

The boys drive a golf cart over the celebration with the help of their younger cousins, destroying the party, and incurring the wrath of the adults.

The comic book and all of Malcolm's presents end up going to Dewey as compensation for missing his play, due to Hal and Lois having to ground both Reese and Malcolm for their pranks.

Hal asks Lois if she would like the new baby to be another boy or a girl, but they are interrupted by the boys fighting. An exasperated Lois imagines life with daughters instead of sons, with Reese as Renee (Mimi Paley), Malcolm as Mallory (Lisa Foiles), and Dewey as Daisy (Jennette McCurdy). The fantasy also depicts Hal as an obese, weak-willed secret smoker who is easily manipulated by the girls. Though the fantasy starts pleasantly at home and at a local mall, Lois soon discovers the problems with raising girls: Renee is promiscuous and pregnant by Mallory's crush, Mallory is a selfish egotist who is secretly on diet pills, and Daisy is manipulative. Francis's counterpart Frances (Christopher Kennedy Masterson in drag with a modulated voice) then arrives, having rebelled against Lois, left college, and married a middle-aged deadbeat. The girls gang up and blame Lois for their problems, just as the boys had done earlier, making Lois realize that girls are just as difficult to raise as boys. In the real world, Hal desperately searches the mall for the perfect Valentine's Day present for Lois and settles for a baby's outfit. Though the boys thoughtfully buy a heart-shaped candy box, Lois still wishes for the new baby to be a girl.

Hal finds Malcolm at his ex-girlfriend's house and agrees to keep this between them, knowing that Lois would have gone through greater lengths to find him.
