While at the same time J.J. drops a bombshell on his dad and announces he doesn't wanna play football anymore, so he quit the team. Jack blames his girlfriend Beth and she storms out. Defying her father, Meg goes and does the show, in place of seeing Patty's spelling bee. Jack sees her on TV and when she's asked back as a regular, he refuses to let her appear. Meanwhile Helen struggles with her decision to stop having kids, of which Jack doesn't wanna hear,but finally accepts it .J.J. tells his coach he doesn't want to play fottball, because he's being forced too and that it took the fun out of it, but his coach says he should play anyway. Helen tries to talk Jack into letting Meg appear on the show, but he's made his decision. Jack surprises and delights Meg, when he first grounds her and then says she can do the show but nothing else.
