out his window and sees a bunch of cars parked in front of the house. Susan comes home to take care of Greg and finds out Isabella invited all the maids in the neighborhood to watch soap operas. As a result, she fires Isabella, which pleases Greg. The next day at school, Greg sees Rowley with a big pimple on his forehead and he tells Greg that his mom says he's becoming a man, which irks Greg. Afterward, Greg finds out he is growing slower in puberty than Rowley. At home, Susan and Frank talk about their experiences being late bloomers to Greg. The next day, Rowley shows off his pimple to some girls, which Greg finds annoying, so he writes a fake note to Rowley signed "The Girls" about no one liking his zit, which worked out on him.

After they arrive at Gammie's, Greg meets multiple family members including Uncle Gary and his fiancee Sonja.

Greg sneaks out and instead sleeps in the bathroom, waking up just in time before Gammie's bath. A few hours before the wedding rehearsal dinner, Greg complains about the lack of entertainment at Gammie's, and how old and valuable her belongings are. Greg
