It's a battle of brains vs. brawn, as Steve and a braggart classmate vie for the affections of Laura in a rope-climbing contest.

Carl tries defending his actions, but Harriette and Rachel — in an effort to tell him that words hurt — decide to give him the silent treatment until he apologizes.

Soon after, Harriette calls Carl out for embarrassing Laura and tells him to apologize. Carl and Laura finally make up when he explains he never meant anything bad, but as she is his beloved daughter, he can't think of her as anything else but "his little girl" and tells her that Mike is engaged.

There, the two bring out several "proofs" and "testimonies," some of which even fake, but before the judge (Mason Adams) can decide, Steve's speech finally makes Carl realize that it doesn't matter if it was "just a stupid bug," because it was of much greater importance to Steve.
