Twins

Twin sisters Mitchee (series star SARA GILBERT) and Farrah (series star MOLLY STANTON) deal with societal stereotypes and perceptions of brains vs. beauty. Mitchee is a brainiac with an engineering degree and the determination of a successful businesswoman. Farrah is a stunningly perfect lingerie model. The sisters have inherited their parents' business, Arnold Undergarments, the fourth largest women's lingerie company in the country. The company's founder and the twins' dad, Alan (series star MARK LINN-BAKER), invented an ultrasupportive parachute fabric while serving as an engineer in the Army. His miracle fabric was originally used to lower Humvees into enemy territory, but Alan soon realized that his invention could be put to better use supporting something else. His best-selling bra, the revolutionary Breast-o Change-o, gained worldwide renown for making every woman look and feel like a goddess. The twins' mother, Lee (series star MELANIE GRIFFITH), is a beautiful former lingerie model but not a deep thinker. She was a top fashion model at the peak of her career when she was booked to model the new Breast-o Change-o. When model met inventor, it was love at first sight. Marriage followed, Lee became Alan's partner in the business, and the twins were born soon thereafter. As children and now as adults, these anything-but-identical twins have always been true reflections of their parents. Mitchee takes after their dad, while Farrah is the image of their mother. Alan finds it particularly satisfying that his famous bra at last has a perfect bottom half now that Mitchee has invented a shape-enhancing pair of panties known as the Butt-Pucker. Lee is just as proud that Farrah is uniquely qualified to model the Butt-Pucker and become the "spokesbutt" of the industry. Among the company's employees is Neil (series star CHRISTOPHER FITZGERALD).

Now that Mitchee and Farrah have taken over the family business as co-presidents, the twins realize they must work together to solve their problems. After a staff meeting is called to help settle issues about the new fall line, the girls long for their parents' guidance. Meanwhile, Alan and Lee quickly discover that they may not be cut out for the relaxing life of retirement.

Mitchee is tired of Alan always treating her like one of the guys, especially in front of Jordan (recurring guest star STEVE BRAUN). Alan respects Mitchee's feelings but overcompensates when referring to his daughter in the workplace, resulting in many rumors among the employees. Meanwhile, Farrah wants to be taken more seriously within the company and boardroom, but Lee tries to convince her to leave the business responsibilities to her sister and father.

Following Lee's advice, Mitchee decides to force Jordan (recurring guest star STEVE BRAUN) to realize he and Farrah don't belong together. Mitchee's plan backfires after Farrah chokes on her dinner, and Jordan saves her, resulting in a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, Alan and Neil share an awkward hug each morning, but neither one knows the origin of this friendly embrace. Just as Alan works up the courage to stop the tradition, he accidentally catches Neil and Neil's boyfriend (REX LEE "Entourage") in a compromising position.

Although Mitchee and Farrah share the same birthday, they decide to spend the evening apart, until Mitchee discovers that she wasn't invited to Farrah's birthday bash. Mitchee's attempt at fitting in with Farrah's group fails, however, Mitchee learns that she and Jordan (recurring guest star STEVE BRAUN) have a lot more in common than she previously thought. Meanwhile, Lee wants to give the girls a pony for their birthday, but Alan thinks the idea is ridiculous. The argument leads the two to discuss their grievances, leaving Alan surprised by Lee's response.

After receiving traffic tickets, Mitchee and Farrah attend traffic school at their alma mater, which brings back unsettling feelings towards each other. Mitchee always resented Farrah for coasting through her academics using her looks, while Farrah resented being treated like the stupid sister. Meanwhile, Alan realizes his figure isn't what it used to be and decides to get into good physical shape. Lee vows to help him lose weight, offering Alan an exercise incentive he can't refuse.

While handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, Mitchee admits to Lee that she never liked dressing up in costumes as a child. Meanwhile, Alan is determined to catch a teenage vandal who is egging the family home. And Farrah takes a donation of leftover "Golden Rears" undergarments to a retirement home, where she must confront her fears of aging when she meets a woman on the verge of death

Mitchee and Farrah must renegotiate the lease on their office building, a task that usually goes over well due to Farrah and Lee flirting with the landlord. However, when Mitchee learns that the owner's daughter has taken over the responsibilities, Mitchee decides to tackle the issue with professionalism. Meanwhile, Alan realizes he is allergic to Lee's new little horse, Tinkerbell, and confronts Lee about sending the horse to live on a farm.

Jordan (recurring guest star STEVE BRAUN) finally asks Mitchee out on a date. But while they are having dinner, she gets a call from Farrah telling her there is a major problem with an important shipment of undergarments. Unfortunately, the problem was caused by Jordan, resulting in a tough decision for Mitchee. Meanwhile, Alan tells Lee he wants to fire their housekeeper after he declares that the woman's cleaning techniques need improvement.

When Alan informs Lee, Mitchee and Farrah that his unexciting sister Judy (MARY GROSS - "A Mighty Wind") is joining them for Thanksgiving dinner, the family is less than thrilled. Lee is especially horrified when Judy's creepy new boyfriend, Wally (SAM LLOYD - "Scrubs"), flirts with Lee. Meanwhile, in an attempt to take Mitchee's mind off of Jordan (recurring guest star STEVE BRAUN), Farrah and her friends take Mitchee out to a bar, leading to a crazy evening

Having never been rejected by a man, Farrah is utterly confused when a cute guy she has lunch with doesn't call her again. Mitchee confronts the guy and demands to know why he won't date Farrah. But the truth surprises her even more: He prefers Mitchee. Meanwhile, when Alan discovers an online journal that complains about his managerial abilities, he scours the company for the culprit. However, Lee eventually solves the problem in her own way.

Prior to Arnold Undergarments' 30th anniversary party, Lee decides to take Mitchee to the salon for a blonde makeover--both in terms of hair and attitude. Meanwhile, Alan mistakenly assumes Farrah is dating his friend James (CORBIN BERNSEN - "L.A. Law")--although Alan is surprised by the pairing, he attempts to be supportive.

Mitchee and Farrah learn that a woman is still traumatized due to their accidentally humiliating her during a summer camp talent show when they were kids. The girls attempt to apologize after they learn she works in a nearby coffee shop, but things don't go as planned. Meanwhile, Alan encourages Lee to go out on the town with Neil, which necessitates Alan attempting to win back Lee's attention.

Mitchee finds a condominium she can't live without and decides to get a roommate to help cover her expenses. As a last resort, she convinces Farrah to make the move by promising to be carefree and fun. Meanwhile, in celebration of their 30th anniversary, Alan and Lee agree to put a limit on their gift spending for each other. However, when Alan secretly finds his gift, he miscalculates the price and ends up buying a very expensive gift for Lee.

Mitchee and Farrah have their first fight in their new condominium and realize that moving in together may not have been the best idea. Meanwhile, Lee and Alan decide to spice up their romance and visit the local video store. Alan and Lee's embarrassment turns to frustration when they realize the clerk gave them the wrong video.

Farrah hires a former underwear model, Charlie (NICK LACHEY - "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica"), to be the company's new director of marketing. She relates to his problem--no one takes him seriously because he is so attractive--and hopes to prove to Mitchee, Lee and Alan that she and Charlie aren't just pretty faces. But when Charlie fails to come up with ideas for a new men's underwear line, Farrah must pull an all-nighter to bail him out.

Mitchee learns that her ex-boyfriend, Zack (STEVE HOWEY - "Reba"), is back in town. Despite Farrah's warnings not to see him, Mitchee meets up with Zach, and their romance is rekindled. After their relationship gets a little bumpy, Zack asks Mitchee the ultimate question, to which she can't say no. Meanwhile, Alan is surprised to discover that Lee used to date Terry (CHRISTOPHER MCDONALD - "Rumor Has It," "Happy Gilmore"), a billionaire whom Alan has always admired.
