Linda grounds the kids. To see daylight, they must write essays which cheer up Aunt Gayle and also incorporate Scott Bacula. Her new guy, Stacy, canceled their date to see "Yarn," Cirque de Soleil with cats. Gene goes country musical with "The Ballad of Gayle and Jo Gene." Tina grabs pages from Austen, Bellisario and Lawrence with a tale of dancing dames and leaping lords; "Lady Chatterteeth's Lover," features chamber music by 'Boys of the Present Time.' Louise pens a slick story of cats, duels and litterboxes in days of yore, "Gayle of Thrones." Is anybody surprised when Bob Belcher is the only one who is really punished?
