| - Michelle and her class are going on a field trip to the local Museum of Natural History and Danny is one of the chaperones. When the other chaperone, Ms. Gwelch, cancels because of illness, he finds himself in over his head with being the only adult in charge of sixteen kids. Desperate to find a replacement before the trip, he persuades Jesse to come along. Danny feels hurt when Michelle chooses to be with Jesse's group instead of his, because she thinks that Jesse would let the kids have some fun, while Danny would act like a sergeant who makes too many rules. At the museum, Danny keeps his group on a tight leash. Jesse, on the other hand, lets his kids run wild throughout the exhibits. Danny also treats Jesse coldly, lecturing him on how to handle things, creating tension between the two. While in the dinosaur exhibit, Michelle and Denise Frazer start playing a game of tag and accidentally knock over most of a $4,000,000 dinosaur skeleton, effectively ending the field trip when they are kicked out. Back at the house, Danny explodes at Jesse, berating him for letting his group get so out of control. Jesse snaps at him to get off his back and to stop treating him like a little kid, stating that the dinosaur is going to be fixed and he will be doing community service at the museum for the next several weeks to make amends. Jesse also says he was just trying to let the kids have some fun, which was what Danny was not doing. He even adds that it got "a little out of hand". However, Danny, suggesting what happened got more than just "a little out of hand", continues to lecture him, telling him that he will only get off his back when he stops acting like “Mr. Cool” and starts taking his responsibilities more seriously. Finally fed up with Danny's attitude, Jesse goes ballistic and blows up in Danny's face, yelling at him to stop acting like a control freak and trying to run everyone's lives all the time, even going as far as accusing him of just wanting to be in charge so he can boss people around. As the fight escalates, Michelle becomes more and more upset until she finally yells at them to stop fighting. She tells them that she knocked over the dinosaur and that it was her fault, before running to her room in tears. Realizing that their arguing did no good except hurt Michelle, Danny and Jesse follow her to her room. There, they apologize for their behavior. They say that, while she did knock over the skeleton, the real reason the field trip was a disaster was because neither one of them did a good job at being in charge (with Jesse with being too flexible and soft, and Danny being too strict and hard). Danny admits that the real reason why he was so hard on Jesse was because he felt hurt that Michelle wanted to be in Jesse's group instead of being with his, and he apologizes to Jesse. Jesse promises to be more responsible when it comes to being in charge, but still hang a little loose, while Danny admits that he does have a tendency to make too many rules sometimes, and he promises to tone it down and be more reasonable when it comes to making rules. Also, Stephanie accidentally gives a $2,000 baseball card of Joey's to Steve Hale.
