Brandon submits one of Andrea's articles to a high school journalism contest. She wins the contest, but panics because a school district representative wants to conduct a home interview. Andrea asks her grandmother to say that she lives with her, but Rose does not want to play along. The school district initiates an investigation because they suspect that Andrea lives out of district. Andrea moves in with Rose, but decides to give up her fight because she cannot stand to be in the middle of the long-running feud between her parents and grandmother. Rose decides to let Andrea stay and agrees to talk to her daughter-in-law. Steve gets a girlfriend through a "chance encounter" at the Peach Pit, but Kelly suspects that the girl is only interested in his bank account.

I toyed with giving this one an extra half-star but decided not to, on account of the fact that Ohndrea is extra annoying here. (Perhaps there's just too much focus on her as a "high school" student... *snort*) As for Steve Sanders and his gold-digging, MUCH-too-old-looking, faux Cindy Brady girlfriend -- well, it isn't the most boring subplot ever (or even this season) but that doesn't make it nteresting, either! "Meh" very much sums up both that plot and the episode as a whole.
