Let’s face it. Teens can be embarrassed by their parents. DJ Tanner experiences this when she’s in a pirate-themed restaurant with father Danny, Joey, Stephanie and Michelle.
Danny arrives home from work, and notices that the girls are in a bad mood because they haven’t had a good day. Neither has Joey, who would rather forget that day’s “Ranger Joe” episode. Danny suggests that they take a little time off from this stress and go out as a family for what he refers to as “Tanner Family Fun Night”. Jesse and Rebecca stay at home with Nicky and Alex. Danny takes Joey and the girls to a pirate-themed seafood restaurant. When they get there, D.J. is afraid she’ll be embarrassed in front of her classmate Shelly Phillips, who is also at the restaurant, and Joey and the girls seem to get a little more bitter, but they finally lighten up and have fun when, because of not eating a thing, they are forced to “walk the plank” — right into a pit full of balls, that is.
Meanwhile, at home, Jesse and Rebecca are having a disagreement as to how Nicky and Alex should be raised, and complicating things is the fact that Alex is sick and has a fever for the first time in his life. Luckily, however, they talk things out and apologize to each other after working together to help Alex get better.
