Complete story — includes the ending
It's tax time, but Norma loses the tax receipts needed for filing, and the family awaits their impending doom when Jack finds out. But they learn that there are more tragic things happening in the world. The news broadcasts of the failed Apollo 13 space mission has everyone on edge. Norma leaves the house to run errands when Jack confronts her about filing taxes, and Kevin runs in to her at church praying. In a subplot, Mrs. Stebbins (Salmone Jens), Kevin's English teacher, gives his class an assignment to write an obituary of their lives for creative writing, but Kevin can't decide how his life will turn out in the future in order to write an acceptable obituary. The Arnold parents don't fight after all, Kevin briefly eavesdrops on them joking and reminiscing together. They recreate the receipts from Jack's memory of the family's finances over the year. It's revealed that Norma had actually gone to church to pray for the missing astronauts. Guest-starring: Emily Schulman as Susan Kelly; Josh Berman as Harold; Billie Joe Wright as Larry; Michael Bower as Joe; Salmone Jens as Kevin's English teacher Mrs. Stebbins.
