After a fight with Gwendolyn, Charles swears off women and Buddy loyally agrees with him. Unfortunately for poor Charles, his troubles occur on the same night that Lila is having a slumber party with several of her friends from school in attendance. Charles, however, is happy because it's his night off and therefore, Mrs. Pembroke is going to be responsible for the girls.
Things don't quite go according to plan when Mrs. Pembroke is called away to urgently help a relative and with Stan and the boys already out of the house, Charles and Buddy are left to look after the giggling, squealing girls.
During the course of the evening, the hapless young men are treated to stories of teenage crushes, romantic aspirations and displays of just what can be cooked up when a group of girls invade a kitchen!
Unable to stand anymore, they head for the safety of Charles's bedroom, only to find it already occupied by Lila's friend Enid, a rather odd girl with a passion for horses.
If you haven't seen this episode, then you should definitely watch it. Guest appearances by gymnast Julianne McNamara, Samantha Smith and Christina Applegate add to an hilarious piece of television comedy. It's great!moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
Charles and Gwendolyn had a fight over something rather trivial, and suddenly he feels he doesn't want to deal with the whole WOMEN issue. He's had it with women! He looks around the Pembroke house and realizes that Lila is having all her girlfriends over for a slumber party. He is trapped in the house full of women, and although Buddy drops in and has agreed to stay with him, they are outnumbered. When he and Buddy finally escape to his room to be alone, they find that they are not alone there either.moreless
