Stewart finds Ashley so difficult to deal with that he calls his therapist, Dr. Elizabeth Moskovich, to complain about her. Stewart avoids Ashley and gets through the rest of the school week with few problems. In science class, he makes friends with a girl named Phoebe. Later, he forges a note to get himself excused from gym class. However, he needs to find a more permanent solution to being stripped in the shower room by Jared.

At the end of the week, while Caroline and Ashley are attending a fashion show fundraiser, Leonard and Stewart take the opportunity to hang one of the late Mrs. Inkster’s paintings on the living room wall. Stewart is pleased to see the painting again and looks forward to a weekend sleepover with his best friend, Alistair. He intends to have Alistair help him figure out the Jared problem.

When Ashley gets home, she is incensed to learn that Stewart is having a sleepover, as she is planning one of her own with Lauren. As Caroline and Ashley discuss the issue, Alistair arrives and notes that Mrs. Inkster’s painting is hanging in the living room. After Alistair goes upstairs to meet Stewart, Ashley and Caroline are both appalled at the sight of the picture, which they notice for the first time.
