Hope & Faith

The sisters attend the funeral of a long-forgotten aunt to pay their respects--and to swipe back the ring she took from their mom years earlier. Back at home, Charley handles an alarming situations with the home-security system and Hayley's middle-child neuroses.

Faith goes back to high-school for her degree after it comes out that she failed French and never actually graduated. But a note passed in class leads Sydney's new beau to think more about Faith than French.

Faith, in debt to her former studio because she "accidentally" set fire to a set the day she was fired, needs money, so Hope hires her as her assistant. A happy homemaker she isn't.

Hope's book-club meeting becomes a party when Faith crashes it, and Hope turns out to be a heartier partier than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile, Charley takes the kids to the arcade and turns out to be something of a pinball wizard.

Faith meets a handsome and sensitive guy on Halloween. He's quite a treat, but Hope thinks he has a trick up his sleeve. Meanwhile, Haley has a "math date" with a nerdy boy named Edwin, thanks to Sydney, who arranged it (without asking Haley first).

A car dealer hires Faith for one of his wacky TV commercials. It's wackier than she would have liked. Meanwhile, Charley can't remember all of his and Hope's "cutesy, made-up anniversaries."

A high-school flame of Hope's is single again and back in town. He and Faith begin making some music together and that rouses Hope's ire. Meanwhile, Haley and Sydney make a hole in their bedroom wall while wrestling and conspire to cover it up.

Hope and Faith's playboy father Jack arrives for Thanksgiving with his latest girlfriend. She's "out of this world," he says to his daughters. She says she was abducted by aliens. Jack also has a surprise for Charley: he has taken up shiatsu massage, and his "favorite" (read: only) son-in-law is "customer numero uno."

A "big misunderstanding" (it really is) with the mother of one of the boys in Charley's basketball team lands Hope and Faith in an anger-management class. But does Hope really have a "Faith-management problem"? Meanwhile, Charley might be the anti-handyman, but that's not stopping him from trying to fix the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink.

A newcomer has taken over Faith's old role on "The Sacred and the Sinful." This sends Faith into a funk that's broken only when Hope tabs her to direct Hayley's holiday pageant at school. But her "artistic integrity" proves to be more than the kids can stand. Meanwhile, a bully takes Justin's winter coat, but Charley knows how to get it back.
