DJ desperately wants to buy an expensive pair of shoes ($160 for both shoes), so when she doesn't get the money from Danny, she asks Danny to let her get a part-time job so she can earn enough money to get the shoes. Danny lets DJ start working for a photographer named Jack at the mall. Her job is to make reluctant kids smile for the camera. Danny allows DJ to have the job under one condition: she must make sure her grades stay smooth. However, this is easier said than done, as DJ's science grade has been suffering lately. But she believes that the job will not only get her enough money to buy the shoes, but also will prove to Danny that she is not a little kid anymore.
However, DJ ends up in a sticky situation when she brings home her science exam with an "F" grade on it (as she'd been too busy with work and a lot of other classes), and then it gets even stickier when her best friend Kimmy changes it to an "A". So after a little advice from Jesse (who had done the same thing when he was in junior high — 40s to 90s, and zeros to hundreds), DJ tells Danny what really happened. Danny tells his eldest daughter that she wanted to be a responsible adult, "and this was the least responsible thing you could've done".
"I just wanted to prove that I could earn my own money."
"Well, that's all out the window now, because you're going to have to quit your job, and no hanging out at the mall until you pull up that grade," replies Danny.
"OK," DJ says. "I guess I'll go back to being a kid again."
"Deej," says Danny, "there's nothing wrong with being a kid. You should enjoy it. You got the rest of your life to be an adult."
Luckily, despite all the trouble she got into, DJ has gotten her first paycheck, which was more than enough to pay for her tennis shoes. But DJ decides to put it in the bank after all the hard work she did to earn it.
Meanwhile, Jesse and Rebecca are unable to agree on where their wedding should take place. Jesse wants the wedding to be at Graceland (home of Elvis Presley), and Rebecca wants the wedding to be in her home state of Nebraska. Luckily, thanks to Joey, they come to a final agreement and decide on having their wedding at their own home town: San Francisco.
