2000
Upset with the losers that Lori's been dating, Reece sets her up with the first normal-looking guy he sees. But new beau Steve, a waiter, has a few secrets of his own -- and it's up to Apache to expose them.
Lori ends up doing a video with The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and then announces that she's going on tour with them.
Reece gets offered the role of a lifetime -- the first role he's had to audition for in years: Batman. During the audition, sparks fly between he and the producer, Amy Hunter, who Reece later realizes was Jacey's former assitant. When Amy makes advances towards Reece, he feels uncomfortable -- but it's Lori who feels the most uncomfortable when she spies Amy kissing her father. Meanwhile, Todd feels he needs a break from his famous brother friends, so he organizes a new poker game -- with a new set of famous siblings.
As a birthday surprise, Reece flies two of Lori's best friends down from Ohio to spend some time with her. But Lori realizes who her real friends are when they go on a drinking binge. Meanwhile, Apache tries to sell a script that he's written and cons the studio into believing his father will star in the film. Reece, on the other hand, doesn't want to star in the movie and is unaware of his son's scheme.
Todd compiles nine of Reece's films into one family-friendly viewing -- which runs less than a minute. So Reece decides that he needs to make a film that the whole family can watch. Meanwhile, Lori decides to protest the school dance, which her parents are chaparoning, not realizing the effect it will have on a good friend.
Todd takes over directing Moonglow's school production of Hansel and Gretel, but he ends up scaring the children (and the audience). Meanwhile, Jacey is up for an Oscar nomination and takes the advice of Apache to mingle with Hollywood elite. While at a party, Apache gets a call that Moonglow's play has been bumped up an hour, but he neglects to tell his mother this news.
Lori begins to realize that her lack of enthusiasm for her schoolwork is going to haunt her for a while when she begins applying for colleges. Meanwhile, Todd meets a woman that he's been corresponding with and announces that he's going to give up acting and move to Minnesota to be with her.
When she learns that Jacey spent part of her early years as a protestor, Lori does some protesting of her own -- by freeing the caged animals on the set of Reece's movie.
Todd gets involved in making ""Reece Hardin Action Bars"" candy. But when Todd begins gulping down bar after bar, he has more than a little extra energy to say the very least. Meanwhile, Lori auditions for a school play, but ends up being bumped (in favor of a pop diva) by her brother, Apache. And when the lead drops out of an action film and Jacey's asked to take the part, she thinks it will be fun -- but she doesn't realize how hard the work actually is.
Reece is excited when the president of his fan club, Nick Fields, comes to stay with the family while working on a film retrospective in Reece's honor. But his excitement turns to fear when Nick outs Reece as a ""gay icon"" on national TV. Reece flakes out on going to the retrospective until Todd encourages him to attend. In the end, Reece realizes that his gay following is as important as the rest of his fans. Meanwhile, Apache has the hots for a friend of Lori's, so she agrees to make him over to gain the girl's interest.
During a baseball game that the family is participating in, Apache feels left out when he's overshadowed by his older sister's abilities. Meanwhile Todd and Jacey get even with a sleazy agent.
Reese causes a media furor by rescuing a boy who was in no danger; Apache interns at a talent agency.

Reece's daughter from his first marriage, Lori, arrives unnanounced and declares that she's going to be living with him and his new family.
Trying to defend his half-sister, Lori, Apache gets in a fight at school that results in his suspension. Meanwhile, Todd, dressed as Tweety Bird, is attacked by a bunch of children at a birthday party for one of Mel Gibson's kids.
Lori is ecstatic when a box arrives from her mother just in time for her birthday. That is, until she realizes the box is filled with the rest of her stuff from her mother's house. To cheer her up, Reece goes all-out for a birthday celebration, which sparks jealousy from Apache, who's now feeling neglected being in his sister's shadow. Meanwhile, Todd thinks he's found a woman who finally understands him, not realizing that his new girlfriend is Justine Priestly, Jason's sister.
Todd licenses a Reece Hardin action figure that appears to have cleavage in place of pecs. Meanwhile, Lori gets to see her father performing before the cameras, but becomes disallusioned when his motorcycle stunt is performed by a stunt man. Jacey has an interview with MTV's Kurt Loder, about how normal her movie star life is, and that's proven -- when everyone bursts in arguing before Kurt's camera. In the end, the action figure is pulled because of its' likeness to a transvestite; Lori realizes being with her father is better than watching his action flicks on the big screen; and Jacey gets an interview that portrays a normal family life.
Jacey's mother unexpectedly arrives, to the shock of Reece and Jacey -- but to the delight of Lori, who initially treats her like a new best friend -- intil Lori catches her snapping pictures of their home to sell to the tabloids.
Reece uncomfortably accepts the title of ""World's Sexiest Man,"" and finds that he's no longer being taken seriously. Meanwhile, Apache, feeling like he's in his father's shadow, brings a girl into his room to make out. And Todd acquires a script that he thinks was written by Quentin Tarantino and tries to find investors to get it made into a film.
Jacey thinks she may be pregnant, and confides in Lori. Lori goes to get a pregnancy test for her step-mother, and through a series of mishaps, Reece thinks Lori is the one who's pregnant. Meanwhile, Jacey's agent is willing to sign Todd -- if he'll sleep with her.
Reece becomes enraged when he learns that Lori's new beau is an older bad-boy actor, whom Reece is working with on a movie. Meanwhile, Todd and the famous brothers open up a juice bar called ""Squeeze This.""
