But when their grandmother, who they affectionately call "Granny Tanny," arrives, the girls are disappointed to find that she's not quite as fun-loving as they'd hoped. Granny Tanny is a no-nonsense kind of woman who has her own ideas about how things should be done. She's less interested in playing board games and more interested in discussing the girls' grades and behavior.

As the girls struggle to get along with their grandmother, Danny and Jesse try to find a way to connect with her. They come up with a plan to take her out on a date, hoping to remind her of the fun-loving woman she used to be.
