Her mother, Diane, is falling off her hinges and needs to get away for the weekend, so Lou gives her the tip of a spa that he goes to often and she can relax and get a 50% discount for mentionining his name. When Diane gets there she meets a charming man, except he has multiple personalities. Back home, Brian must tend to his little sister's camp meetings, which turns out to be in his favor.
