Complete story — includes the ending

Lois is arrested for reckless driving due to several outstanding parking tickets from Francis. She orders Francis to pay off the fines or else never come home, which leads Francis to do dangerous stunts to earn the money. Lois disputes the reckless driving citation, believing the officer has a personal grudge against her. When security camera footage shows that Lois was wrong, she realizes she was wrong for the first time in her life, but then becomes more easygoing, and tells Francis to use the money to visit for a weekend. Craig finds a security camera from a different angle showing that Lois was right, but Hal and the boys destroy it and warn Craig to remain silent.
