Hiller and Diller

Neil wants to do right by his kids and has the perfect solution -- get them into the same private school Ted's kids attend. But Neil's methods leave something to be desired.

Ted and Neil are furious when Lizzie and Zane get a mediocre grade on a school paper they jointly turned in -- a paper Ted and Neil actually wrote for them. So the guys decide to confront the teacher since the grade was based on the paper being neither funny, clever or well written.

Ted and Jeanne swallow their fears and allow a well-meaning Neil to stay home alone with their kids so they can mark their wedding anniversary at a swank hotel. Their idyllic date ends abruptly, however, when they are summoned home to deal with an emergency -- their house is on fire!
