After Rob trips over Ritchie's toy truck which Ritchie forgot to put away before he went to bed, Rob goes into a tirade about how forgetful Ritchie is, and how Laura enables Ritchie's forgetful behavior by always reminding him after the fact without consequence. That tirade is why Rob feels so bad when he is later reminded that he promised weeks earlier to get forty-four tickets for those in the PTA to attend Alan Brady's show this week, a virtually impossible task now with days until the show. Getting the tickets and saving face within the neighborhood is of so much importance to Rob, that he vows to beg, borrow and steal to get the tickets. Begging and borrowing from Mel, Sally and Buddy only yields him a handful of tickets. Will he really resort to stealing? With only a half hour remaining until the PTA's arrival at the studio, Rob is still thirty-four tickets short, so stealing may be the only way to resolve his problem... or is it?
