Putting Out Fires

US president Dale Gilchrist hosts a crucial trade conference with his South American counterparts, the key to which is Brazil's Enrique Desoto, whose wounded pride must be nursed by Dale letting him win at tennis. Dale's rogue firstborn son Skip, a constant embarrassment, tries to mend his ways, playing a PR part, but on top of a furniture accident even that has unforeseen consequences. Meanwhile first lady Emuly and her stepdaughter Becca bicker over the junior twins Xander and Marigold, whose school peril interacts with press interest for the first family's views on education.
