Toby can't stand the idea of Parents' Night - the last time his divorced parents were in the same room they had a huge embarrassing fight. Toby cooks up a scheme to convince his parents that the night is cancelled, but it backfires on him. Why would Ashley get completely dolled up - just for a bunch of old folks? And that Paige seems to be planning to get in the way again...

Terri gets Mrs. Isaacs' attention, which Ashley and Paige wanted.
(edit)
NAK stands for News About Kids.

We finally see Toby's mother, who is a casting agent.
(edit)
(Emma thinks Tracker is wrong for wanting NAK to stay)
Tracker: I’m wrong? Tell me Emma, is it fair or is it wrong that Sean here is falling behind in school because we can’t afford a computer?
Emma: He can do his homework here.
Tracker: What? Yeah, on the free computers.
Emma: If you read the entire article, you would know -
Tracker: That it’s a piece of garbage.
Emma: It is not garbage!
Tracker: Looks like garbage to me. Smells like garbage.
Sean: Tracker, man...
Tracker: All I’m saying is there is two sides to every story. Try to remember that next time. (they leave) (edit) Emma: Okay, so let’s try to imagine. You’re a squeegee kid.
Manny: Okay, I’m a squeegee kid.
Emma: So how does it feel being compared to a cockroach?
Manny: I’d say, “Hey, preppy kids. Get off my case. We’re people, too.”
Sean: Oh, please. (edit) Emma: That’s the thing. They don’t us to think. They wants us to become braindead NAK robots.
Toby: (to Manny) What’s with her?
Manny: NAK rage, kind of like road rage. (edit) Paige: Every time NAK claims your airspace, you go all manic-depressive.
Ashley: That is so not true. I just - Look at this zit!
Terri: That’s a pore and Paige has a point. (edit) Emma: Last week NAK told us to join the army. What’s tomorrow? A hole in the O-Zone is good because it makes a better tan? Imagine being a squeegee kid. Out in the cold, no school, no parents.
Toby: No parents?
Emma: Toby this isn’t a joke! (edit)
Tracker: I’m wrong? Tell me Emma, is it fair or is it wrong that Sean here is falling behind in school because we can’t afford a computer?
Emma: He can do his homework here.
Tracker: What? Yeah, on the free computers.

Toby: No parents?
Emma: Toby this isn’t a joke! (edit)
When Emma sends the email to Sean, you can see she is replying to a message called, "That was brutal". It wouldn't make sense because Sean looked surprised when he got an email.
