Quick overview:
Alice comes in, complaining about Tommy switching from the electric guitar to cymbals, and they're always arguing. He comes in, riding a motorbike, which he traded to his friend Roger for his electric guitar. Alice, Tommy and Mel get into a discussion about who'd make a better mother, Alice or Mel, and Alice takes up Mel on his boast that he can raise Tommy better. The next scene is at Mel's (some of which was cut out on ION). Flo comes over, says she's seeing if Mel made it home last night, Tommy said he was smashed. He wakes up, and says "Flo? I must have really got drunk to bring you home". Flo leaves, Mel gets sick and runs into the bathroom. Tommy begins practicing the cymbals, and Mel comes staggering out of the bathroom, cringing in pain every time Tommy hits the cymbals. Tommy talks Mel into going out in the desert to ride the dirt bike. Immediately afterwards, they show Mel carrying Tommy in with a bandage around his foot. Tommy goes back to practicing the cymbals again. Next scene is at the diner, Mel calls the doctor, saying his foot isn't broken, but Vera overhears this, and Mel tells her to keep her mouth shut, then he leaves. Alice comes storming in, saying Tommy missed school, and Vera says he's ok. When she tries to get Vera to talk, she explains Mel said she'd fire her if she told, so instead, they come up with the idea to do cherades. After Alice figures it out, she goes to Mel's poker game, dressed up like a man. Tommy figures out right away it's her, and says he'd like to come home. Alice puts the hat back on, and goes back to playing poker, which is how the episode ends.
That's it in a sort of nutshell
Edit: I removed a note about the scene where Mel carries Tommy in with a bandaged foot being cut by ION, that whole scene was intact (it was edited short on E! and TNN)
