When a secret shopper survey at the Lucky Aid reveals that Lois is a good employee, but often looks slovenly, she is sent to the cosmetics counter for a makeover. The new and "improved" Lois looks sexy but trashy and soon finds newfound attention from men...especially Hal. Meanwhile, Hal engages in a game of basketball with Malcolm and his brothers, and the boys discover their Dad doesn't always engage in fair play. Meanwhile, Francis inadvertently becomes a master rat catcher at the logging camp and must wrangle a legendary giant rat.
