Mom is about to go on a date, but crazy Aunt Pamela is on the back of a motorcycle with a 23 year old guy on her way to Coachella. Franklin reluctantly convinces his mom to allow him to babysit - the last time she allowed him to babysit he set the kitchen trashcan on fire. Mom eventually and reluctantly consents to Franklin babysitting – but only because her date is at the door!
