The Chances finally find out who's the scary man who keeps popping up in town as if to stalk them.

EPS02
Enthusiastic about cool payment in kind, like lobster they could not afford, Burt and Virginia convince their simpleton neighbors to organize an 'alternative' barter system. It works but people bicker over the exchange value of goods and services, so the next step is a fake currency, 'Burt bucks'. Jimmy finds himself the easy victim of the supermarket's reinstated ex-con clerk and Sabrina's attempts to restore her humiliated husband's confidence keep backfiring. The Chance couple can't resist the temptation to print and spend a lot they never earned, which causes a devastating devaluation. Written by KGF Vissers
EPS03
When Jimmy finds out his parents never took him on a real holiday but faked cook travel adventures in town while he was a sleepy kid, well-traveled Sabrina resolves to take him and Hope along for the real thing. The Chance parents are tempted to join against better judgment, even with maw-maw, lured by a sweet deal to deliver a yacht, which turns out worse then a drag, under contract. Still the family vows to make the best of it, despite a horrible museum and Sabrina getting arrested for trying to steal back. Written by KGF Vissers

Victoria's cleaning company employer provides free, mandatory medical checkups with doctor Walters. He prescribes her delightfully efficient spectacles, but she soon learns that comes not only at full cost (because she couldn't read many advertisements before) but also that of the bliss of ignorance. The Chance family is now burdened with more responsibility and more expensive taste, and an atypical cleaning frenzy. Written by KGF Vissers

Jimmy used to get humiliated whenever he believed to have some artistic talent, so his parents always played it down in advance. Now Sabrina pushes him to try his hand as a modern painter after Howdie's is taken over by reputedly innovative nut-case investor Maxine, who demands all supermarket staff to come up with ideas and fires Howard as soon as he objects to absurd experiments. Sabrina was hiding that Maxine is her aunt, who surprises her by insisting on profit, while Virginia and Maw-Maw demand their chance on the free podium. Written by KGF Vissers
EPS06
Despite Jimmy's wedding with Sabrina, she has no legal parental status concerning Hope, so she plans to adopt her. Lawyer Wally Phipps is reluctant to take the case, considering the Chance grandparents repeatedly hired him for ludicrous trials, but rarely paid him a cent. However he's defending a murder-suspect and decides he needs to counter he prosecutor's flashy co-counsels with his own 'lookers', and decides to hire Burt and Virginia for the part, which ultimately gets extended to standing in, despite ignorance concerning penal law and procedure. Written by KGF Vissers

The Chances are used to lame freaks as back neighbors, but the new couple is different. Virginia takes an instant liking to macho Gary, agreeing to keep mysterious packages for him. Burt makes a bad fall, landing him in a wheelchair, and is instantly suspicious, claiming Gary, who forces him to a humiliating thumb war, abuses his wife, even ax-murders her, but the police deputizes Barney as auxiliary officer as only response to the Chances, who exceeded the quota of loony calls. The truth about Gary proves even less likely. Written by KGF Vissers
