[edit] Synopsis

Sam and Bill both admire Neal Schweiber's father until Sam accidentally sees Mr. Schweiber hugging a strange woman. Fearing that Mr. Schweiber may be cheating on Mrs. Schweiber, Sam tells Bill and then Neal. Soon after, Neal finds an unfamiliar garage door remote control in his father's car. The three friends start hunting around the neighborhood on their bicycles, searching for the garage door the remote control belongs to. Ken, a wise-cracking freak, reveals his first crush to be on a girl named Amy who plays the tuba in McKinley's marching band. Ken, Amy, Lindsay, Nick, Daniel and Kim go to the local laser dome to see a Pink Floyd laser show but mistakenly arrive on country western night.
