Marty and the Pod travel to New York City to consult for MetroCapital, a mega-bank that is looking for a plan to unscrupulously justify taking their year-end bonuses as the financial world around them burns. Unfortunately, Marty makes an enemy out of MetroCapital's number two guy Greg Norbert in the process because April, the stripper/call girl he attempts to pass off as his wife, has sex with Greg's sexually repressed wife. Their biggest business rivals -- run by his ex wife with whom he continues to have sex with sometimes -- are also offered the job. They manage to get hired by inventing a debt cancellation campaign which will have a big publicity impact but cost very little. Back at home, Marty gets some unwanted advice on how to raise his son Roscoe from Jeremiah Kaan, Marty's live-in father, when Roscoe decides to audition for the female lead in a school play. Tension ensues when the role for the leading female in the play is contested between Roscoe and another girl (Britney). The parents of both children have been informed to attend a meeting in which it will be decided who gets the coveted position. Ultimately, Marty's son is given another role in the school play instead of that of the lead female role (Sandy). Upon being told this, Roscoe complains it is not fair, and Marty responds, "Life is full of unfair moments, bud". Afterwards, the family go to the school for the play.
