George Lopez

When Benny's house burns down along with her living savings due to a lit cigarette near her flammable drapes, she expects George and Angie to take her into their home which George is against at first, but in the end takes her in. Carmen, after it's discovered her supposed pregnancy was a lie, is determined to marry her boyfriend Jason and have a baby with him, much to George and Angie's dismay. The next morning, Jason and his belongings are gone because he did not want to have a baby, and Carmen pressured sex all the time.

George gets Benny an advance on her paychecks to look for apartments, but Benny foolishly gambles the money away and moves into her car, which burns down as well. Carmen is still in denial and is still determined to marry her boyfriend even though he is gone. Because of Benny's bad luck at gambling, George lets her live in his house.

Pretending he's the mayor of Los Angeles, George bullies a menacing biker (DUANE "DOG" CHAPMAN - "Dog the Bounty Hunter") who won't release a stray dog that George's depressed mom, Benny, has grown to love. But the plan backfires when the real L.A. mayor, ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA (himself), visits the Lopez family.

Rather than give in to Benny's incessant pleas to buy her a new car, George and Angie agree to drive her around town just to get her out of the house. When George picks up Benny and her friends after a wild night on the town, her insensitive wisecracks and his temper get him into trouble.

As Halloween approaches, George and Angie play practical jokes that are even funnier and scarier than ever before. But when Benny's abusive comments and behavior grow worse, George finds it impossible to laugh things off and threatens to make some big changes.

George is living with Ernie and Ernie's parents because he's still furious with Benny and refuses to return home until his mother leaves. But when he realizes how difficult it is for Ernie to live with his parents, George convinces him to get his own place. George even agrees to be Ernie's roommate--until a problem with Max prompts George to finally move back to his home.

After witnessing a traumatic incident at school, Max experiences nightmares. George reluctantly takes him to seek therapy from a counselor, Phillip Nickleson (RICHARD LEWIS - "Cinderella Man," "Anything But Love"). But when the good doctor discovers that the real reason for Max's nightmares is his father's absence, George is forced to confront his feelings about his own childhood.

When George peeks at a 10-year-old unopened letter from Angie, he discovers some secrets that they both may wish were never revealed.

After George makes jokes about his mother's age, Benny takes drastic measures to make herself look younger by getting ridiculously large breast implants. Series star GEORGE LOPEZ makes his directorial debut with this episode.

While giving marriage counseling to a young engaged couple from their church, George and Angie discover that they disagree about who works harder in their own marriage. They set up a point system based on their household tasks and compete for dominance.

George tells a little lie to avoid visiting Angie's family for the holidays but regrets it when he spends Christmas alone.

When Max skips school, George enrolls in college to set a positive example. But George has difficulty getting anyone to take him seriously. Even Professor Lim (recurring guest star MING-NA - "ER") thinks his questions are jokes.

When the going gets tough, George drops out of school. But his attempt to hide his truancy from Angie and the kids becomes the worst kept secret around when Professor Lim (recurring guest star MING-NA) stops by the house to check in.

In this special episode loosely based on series star George Lopez's real-life battle with kidney disease, Max starts wetting the bed, and George laughs it off as childish. But as Max's symptoms worsen, and Vic suggests that it may mean Max is sexually active, George and Angie take Max to Dr. Woodson (KEN HOWARD, himself a real-life kidney transplant recipient). Dr. Woodson breaks the news that Max needs surgery, but that it will help him avoid kidney disease in the future.

George and Angie's former sister-in-law passes away, leaving George in charge of her 20-year-old daughter, Veronica (recurring guest star AIMEE GARCIA - "A Lot Like Love"), and Veronica's very large inheritance. Vic and Angie wonder why George was chosen over them--and when Veronica causes trouble in the Lopez household, George must prove he is worthy of taking care of her.

George tries to teach his niece, whose multimillion-dollar inheritance he controls, a lesson in the value of hard work by putting her to work at the factory. Meanwhile, Angie books her first new-age wedding.

Angie's scam-artist brother, Ray (ANDY GARCIA - "Ocean's Eleven" movies, "The Untouchables," "The Godfather: Part III"), reappears after a long absence and tries to make amends with his estranged daughter, Veronica (recurring guest star AIMEE GARCIA), and the Lopez family. But George is the first to see through Ray's scheme when Ray asks Veronica to tap into her inheritance so he can invest in a new company.

George must help Ernie lose weight before Mel Powers (recurring guest star MARK TYMCHYSHYN) fires him. Eventually, all of his friends get involved in helping Ernie become healthier, but not until they realize the emotional reasons for his overeating can they really make progress.

In a crossover episode with "Freddie," Max begins an innocent online romance with a teenage girl from Chicago named Zoey ("Freddie" series star CHLOE SUAZO). When George finds out, he suspects that Max is unknowingly communicating with an Internet predator. George pretends to be Max online, not realizing that Zoey's uncle Freddie ("Freddie" series star FREDDIE PRINZE, JR.) is worried about the very same thing and has begun impersonating Zoey online. When Freddie and his business partner, Chris ("Freddie" series star BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN), travel to Los Angeles on a business trip, George and Freddie continue the ruse, each hoping to expose the other as a pervert, and they eventually come face to face.

In the 100th episode of the series, George takes over the planning of a wedding for one of Angie's clients, Brooke (EVA LONGORIA - "Desperate Housewives"), in order to prove he can do Angie's job better than she can. But Brooke is so high-maintenance that George almost goes crazy taking care of all the details. When the time for the ceremony finally arrives, he finds out just how volatile a bride can be on her wedding day.

Benny is furious when she discovers that George has rigged the results of a productivity contest at the factory against her. Upset because Angie agrees with Benny, George goes drinking with Ernie. When he eats the worm from a bottle of tequila, George hallucinates and finds out what his life would have been like if Benny were the perfect, doting mother.

In the season finale, everyone in the Lopez family faces a crisis. Ernie tells George that the factory is moving to Mexico, and they'll both be unemployed. When the police want to question Benny about her part in an old robbery, she flees. Nauseated for days, Angie awaits the results of a home pregnancy test. Carmen is afraid to open her final college letter after being rejected by her first three choices. Max has swiped a forbidden beer and is about to sample his first alcohol. And Vic prepares to propose marriage to a younger woman whom he barely knows.
