Peter begins to secretly eavesdrop in on his siblings' private conversations with the help of Mike's tape recorder. This causes sibling rivalry and discord between his brothers and sisters and it doesn't take Mike and Carol long to realize something is wrong when Peter is the only one not fighting with his brothers and sisters.

      • This episode is the second of the three episodes in which the first scene is Marcia coming home with love with the same background music. Edit
      • Note how relevant this seemingly relevance-free episode would become just a few months after this episode aired, in the wake of the Watergate scandal. Edit
