Complete story — includes the ending

Alternating between two realities where the parental roles are switched, one parent must drive Malcolm and Reese to the bowling alley, while the other stays home with a grounded Dewey. In both versions, the boys cause trouble at the alley while competing for the affections of a girl named Beth ( Alex McKenna ), and Dewey tries to fool the parent who stays with him into letting him stay up late. In the end in both versions, when the parent that went to the alley returns home with Malcolm and Reese, they ask their spouse to take the boys next time.
