After Alan wakes Cory up late at night to watch a baseball game, Cory falls asleep at school and fails a test. Mr. Feeny refuses to let Cory make up the test, leading to a disagreement between Alan and Mr. Feeny, who both believe they did the right thing.

Quote from Alan

Alan: I was thinking I'll go have a talk with Mr. Feeny. I'll explain it to him, get him to let Cory take a make up test.
Amy: Oh, I'm so glad. Because until you do, you're grounded.
Cory: Does that really work? Can she ground you?
Alan: In certain ways, yes.

Quote from Alan

Alan: Look, if it was up to me, you wouldn't have to sleep at all, you wouldn't have to go to school, I wouldn't have to go to work and we could just spend all our time together. And there's nothing I'd rather do.
Cory: Then why don't we do that?
Alan: I don't know. I guess the family's gotten used to eating.
