Elizabeth Wakefield and Todd Wilkins are living together! Their parents are away, so Todd has set up house at the Wakefields'. He wants to create the perfect love nest, but Elizabeth has more important things on her mind.
Not only has Elizabeth discovered that her mother was once married to Mr. Patman, Bruce's father, but now they're having an affair!
Horrified by their parents' behaviour, Elizabeth and Bruce decide to investigate. What could down-to-earth Alice Wakefield and Hank Patman possible see in each other? Through their sleuthing, Bruce and Elizabeth begin to understand their parents' attraction - because they too are feeling an attraction - to each other.

"Todd, I just found out that my mom's going to be in Chicago all this week with Mr. Patman, and I'm afraid that-"
Before she could get out the rest of her sentence, Todd broke in. "Hey! That means that all four oof our parents are out of the way!" he said jubilantly, his eyes twinkling. "That's great news, Liz!"
"Great news?" she repeated, her own face blank.
Todd leaned over to give her a big hug. "You know," he murmered into her hair. "What we were talking about last night. You and me, moving in together."
Elizabeth had completely forgotten about their conversation at Miller's Point. "Oh, right. That."
"So, what do you say?" Todd gave her a warm squeeze. "The timing's perfect - I could bring my stuff over this afternoon. Just think, Liz," Todd said, nuzzling her neck. "We can cook dinner and do our homework together and stay up all night talking and watching TV - we can be together twenty-four hours a day!
"Twenty-four hours day?" Elizabeth said, feeling somewhat dazed.
"OK, not twenty-four hours," Todd amended with a grin. "I'll sleep on the couch or in Steven's room, of course."
"Of course . . . "

Jessica, Elizabeth, and Bruce plot to get Bruce's parents back together and the result is disasterous! Operation Love Match
