Episode Summary
Breaking her father's "no-dating rule", Penny goes with her friends to the amusement park. She ends up with an unpopular, overweight boy named Carlos. Penny thought that Carlos would be a nerd, but ended up being a very caring person and saves Bebe and Cece's lives. Meanwhile, Oscar and Felix refuse to go to a day spa with their wives, until they notice the sexy nurse who escorts them into their room. The nurse tells them to get ready for a "good, old fashioned rub down", and they believe it means they will both get to sleep with her, but their happiness is cut short when they realize that they are with Dr. Payne instead. Even though Penny gets grounded in the end, Oscar allows Penny to continue to see Carlos so he won't eat all of their food and gives her permission to start dating when she turns 16.

Goofs
- In this episode when Oscar and Felix were at the spa, Felix's feet weren't big, but in "Love Thy Neighbor", they were huge and I don't think they would grow that big.
- Dijonay was with the guy with blond hair and LaCienega was with Nick, who Penny was supposed to be with until LaCienega took him after tricking Penny into checking on BeBe and CeCe, but when Penny and Carlos ran to take their seats on the roller coaster, Dijonay and LaCienega sat with different boys they weren't with respectively.
