[TV-PG]  		A tidy Atlanta mother who performs domestic-service work trades places with a messy mother from Boston. Veronica Thibodeaux, who lives in the outskirts of Atlanta and performs domestic-service work, is an independent woman who likes things her own way, especially around the house. Her husband, Alvin, who works as a custodian, usually lets Veronica have her own way. Veronica says Alvin is a good husband. She thinks her kids have a much better life than she did when she was young. Meanwhile Diane Famiglietti, who lives in Boston and works as an insurance broker, admits that although she loves her family, she's a terrible housekeeper. She describes her family as being very unorthodox, but says everyone does things together. Her husband, Richard, who works as a science teacher, complains that the house his family lives in is too small. The family shares one bathroom. Veronica thinks her daughter, Brittney, will be very happy when the mother swap begins. Brittney admits she won't miss her mother. Veronica tells her daughter that the new mother will also be strict. Meanwhile Diane says that when she experienced a heart attack four years earlier, it changed her life. She no longer takes her family for granted. Her son, Marc, describes the changes that took place since Diane's heart attack. Richard says he doesn't like being away from his wife. On the morning of the mother swap, Diane says a tearful goodbye to her family. Veronica says no one in her family is going to miss her. Brittney says she's excited about her mother's departure. Even Veronica says she won't miss her own family. Diane and Veronica board airplanes and head for their respective destinations. After much anticipation, Veronica finds Richard at the airport. They hit it off almost immediately. Meanwhile Diane spots Alvin holding a card with her name on it. She walks up to him and gives him a big hug. As Alvin drives Diane to his family's home, Diane asks questions about the neighborhood where he lives. Alvin, who is African-American, senses that Diane doesn't have much experience being around black people. When Diane enters the Thibodeaux house, she reacts to the sight of their bird. Diane says she's petrified of birds. Diane then meets Alvin's children, Brittney and A.J. She asks the kids if they're shocked she's white. Meanwhile Richard introduces Veronica to her family; including his daughter Arianna, and sons Justin and Cody. The children are a little taken aback when they realize their new mother is African-American. Later Richard gives Veronica a tour of the house. Veronica doesn't know how she's going to survive in a house with one bathroom. She's repulsed by the dirty conditions in the house. On their first night at their new house, Veronica and Diane are informed they are going to decide how the $50,000 in prize money is going to be awarded to their surrogate family. Veronica decides to handle her new family just like she deals with her own kids. The Famigliettis object to being awoken at an early hour. Meanwhile Alvin wakes up Diane, assuming she's going to cook the family breakfast just like Veronica does. The kids aren't pleased when Diane burns the bacon. Later Veronica takes Arianna to a salon to get her hair done. Arianna doesn't hit it off with Veronica, especially after Veronica says she's lazy. Later the Famigliettis take Veronica on a deep-sea fishing trip. Veronica, who had never gone fishing on a boat before, doesn't enjoy the experience. She can't wait to get back to shore. Meanwhile Diane decides to take the Thibodeaux family on a picnic. It quickly turns into a disaster when flies swarm the picnic table. Diane isn't happy when Alvin pulls out a deck of cards. Diane injects some life into the proceedings when she brings out some water guns. Back on the fishing boat, Veronica tries to survive the trip, and begins to feel seasick and cold. Veronica asks that the boat to be turned around. Later, when they reach shore, the kids decide to roast marshmallows. Diane decides to take Brittney to a batting cage. Brittney begins to pout. Diane then takes Brittney to some bumper boats, but Brittney hates them as well, especially when she gets her hair wet. Diane thinks she's spoiled. Richard shows Veronica how to make real home-style Italian gravy. Veronica, who doesn't like to cook, doesn't have a good time. Diane takes the Thibodeaux family out to eat. During the meal, A.J. lists a bunch of things he wants. This takes Diane by surprise. She thinks he's spoiled, just like his sister. Diane tells A.J. and Brittney how hard it was for her family when she had her heart attack, especially financially. She hopes she made her point: the kids should be appreciative of everything they have in life. Richard gathers his family and Veronica together. He tells Veronica that his relatives and friends will be coming to the house the following day. Veronica, in turn, says that everyone will have to pitch together and clean the entire house. The kids aren't pleased. Veronica says she's the queen, and everyone will have to deal with it.

[TV-PG]  		After throwing a party for friends and relatives of their host family, Diane and Veronica decide how to allocate $50,000 in prize money. Diane has noticed that the Thibodeuxs rarely do things together as a family. She enlists Brittney's help in planning an upcoming party for the Thibodeuxs' relatives and friends. She wants to keep some of the planning a secret from everyone else. Brittney agrees to help keep the secret. Meanwhile Veronica tells the Famigliette family about their duties in cleaning up the house. Arianna says she can't clean a room because she's allergic to dust. Veronica thinks Arianna is just being lazy. Veronica and Richard chastise Cody when he mouths back during the conversation. Marc, meanwhile, is assigned to clean up the bathroom. Veronica then concentrates on Arianna's room, which is covered in a layer of dust. Veronica can't believe how dusty the room is, especially since Arianna is an allergy sufferer. Meanwhile Diane takes Brittney to the store to shop for the party. Brittney is embarrassed by Diane's behavior. During the shopping spree, Diane sprays Cool Whip directly into Brittney's mouth. They both laugh. Diane feels she has finally started to bond with Brittney. Diane admits she's nervous about the party because the Thibodeuxs don't have any white friends. She thinks everyone at the party will either love her or hate her. Frenchella, Alvin's sister-in-law, remarks that Diane never stops talking, and her Boston accent makes it even more difficult to decipher what she's saying. Diane gets uncomfortable when Alvin takes out a deck of cards. She says everyone is going to participate in games, such as a balloon toss, an egg toss, and a donut-eating contest. Everyone enjoys themselves. Meanwhile, back at the Famigliette house, Veronica gets uncomfortable being around the party guests. Someone remarks that "Diane" looks a little different. Veronica takes it in stride, and begins to warm up to the relatives and friends at the party. It makes her realize she must spend more time with her own kids. As they have their last meal together, Alvin and Diane share a warm hug. Alvin remarks how much his family loves Diane. A.J. remarks that he doesn't miss his mother at all. Diane says that she's come to think of A.J. as her other son, and she feels as though she now has family in Atlanta. Later Brittney goes to Diane's room and tells her she had a wonderful time during Diane's stay. Diane begins to cry as she talks about Brittney. It comes time for Diane and Veronica to decide how the $50,000 will be spent. They write down their instructions and seal them in an envelope. When the time comes to leave for the airport, Diane bids the Thibodeuxs a quick goodbye. Meanwhile Veronica says goodbye to the Famiglietti family and is driven to the airport. Diane and Veronica meet for the very first time. They share a warm hug and remark how much they love each other's families. Diane tells Veronica how much Brittney loves her. Diane also says that Veronica needs to spend more time with her family. Eventually Diane and Veronica exchange envelopes and hug. When Diane arrives home in Boston, her family greets her warmly. Arianna remarks how much more she appreciates her mother since the swapping. Back in Atlanta the Thibodeuxs remark they doubt their mother has changed very much since participating in the experiment. Diane tells her family about the twist: she and Veronica decided how the $50,000 is to be spent. This comes as a shock to everyone. Diane opens the envelope and reads Veronica's note. Marc is given $8,000 to buy a car. Justin is given $1,500 to buy a go-cart. Cody is given $1,000 to buy a PlayStation. Arianna receives $8,000 to purchase a car. The rest of the money is to be spent on remodeling the bathroom and a trip to Florida. Meanwhile Veronica tells her family about the twist. She opens Diane's note, but has a difficult time reading it. It includes money for an SUV, a swimming pool, a flat-screen television, a wedding set, a gambling spree, spending cash for Brittney so she can go shopping with her mother, and money for A.J.'s college tuition. Veronica remarks that she's not happy with Diane's decisions.

Colleen and Ronnie have four children: twelve-year-old RJ; eleven-year-old Alexis; ten-year-old Anthony; and six-year-old Vinnie.

[TV-PG]  		A musical mother who travels the country in a recreational vehicle trades places with a well-to-do real-estate agent whose daughter likes to sing. Janette O'Brien and her family travel some 25,000 miles a year in a recreational vehicle. Along with her husband Dan, and two children - fourteen-year-old Kyle and eleven-year-old Maura - Janette performs in a family band, entertaining audiences throughout the year. Janette loves being able to spend so much time with her kids, who are home-schooled. Both Janette and Dan are former teachers. Janette admits that working and living in a recreational vehicle presents its challenges, but those challenges, she feels, makes her family even stronger. In Smithfield, Virginia, Michelle Shackelford, a real-estate agent, lives in a large brick house with her new husband Craig, and their three daughters: seventeen-year-old Tasha; ten-year-old Devin; and seven-year-old Holly. Michelle says everyone in her family is a Republican. What Michelle hates more than anything else is being bored. The time comes for Janette and Michelle to say goodbye to their families. Both women are somewhat nervous to meet their new "husbands" at the airport. Michelle puts on her best poker face when she sees the recreational vehicle. Upon seeing Michelle for the first time, Maura remarks that she's really happy to see that her new "mother" isn't obese or anorexic. Janette admits feeling out of her element when she sees the Shackelfords' large house. Meanwhile the O'Briens give Michelle a quick tour of their home-on-wheels. When Janette wakes up the next morning, she reacts with surprise when Craig doesn't help his daughters prepare lunches for school. Meanwhile Michelle adjusts to living in such a small space with so many other people. Janette tells the Shackelfords she'd like to have a talent show so she can get to know everyone a little better. Craig isn't very enthusiastic about the idea. When it comes Janette's time to sing, she can't remember all the lyrics. Tasha, however, sings an entire song, and has a pleasant voice. Janette believes Craig should have been more supportive of Tasha's singing efforts. Michelle helps Dan navigate as he drives the RV toward the family's next concert date. The constant traveling begins to take its toll. Meanwhile Janette decides to take Craig out for something to eat so she can get to know him a little better. The conversation does not go well. Craig tells Janette she's only seen a snapshot of how the family functions, and shouldn't judge him based on his interaction with Tasha as she sang. Craig asks Janette if she's gotten anything out of interacting with his family. Janette says she'd love to have a dog (the Shackelfords have two). Dan asks Michelle to sing with their band. Michelle says she's a horrible singer and isn't comfortable with the idea. She nonetheless accompanies the group onto the stage. The crowd gives the family a standing ovation. Michelle gets caught up in the enthusiasm. Craig decides to host a party so Janette can meet his friends and family. At first it's very awkward for Janette, because Craig doesn't make an effort to introduce her to people. Janette announces that Tasha is going to sing for the party guests. Tasha belts out a song that captivates the group. When she finishes, everyone cheers. Janette feels as if she's made a difference. It comes time for Janette and Michelle to say goodbye to their host families. Later Janette and Michelle meet for the first time. Michelle tells Janette her husband misses her terribly, and has a very gifted family. Michelle's enthusiasm catches Janette somewhat off guard, as Janette was prepared to tell Michelle about things in her family that need attention. Janette tells Michelle that Craig could be a better parent by paying more attention to the children. Michelle admits that living with the O'Briens was a positive experience, and has shown her how to be a better mother. Michelle and Janette exchange letters explaining how the $50,000 in prize money is to be spent. When Michelle returns home, the girls are anxious to show her some of the things they learned from Janette. Janette informs her family about the show's twist: Michelle got to choose how the money gets divvied up. Michelle allocates money for Kyle to attend Disney's Art and Cartoon School, money for Maura to attend NASA's Astronaut Space Camp, money for Janette and Dan to go on vacation, and the rest to be spent as they choose. Michelle reads Janette's letter aloud. Janette allocates money for Tasha to buy a new guitar, money for a trip in a recreational vehicle, a large chunk of money to pay off outstanding credit-card debt, and money to attend a parenting seminar. Everyone is very pleased with the outcome. The O'Briens enjoy playing some music.

Meanwhile Diego says goodbye to Diana before she drives off in a taxi. Jim meets Diana at the airport and helps her with her luggage. Diana learns that vegans not only don't eat meat, they don't eat any dairy products, either. When Diana sees the Gates house for the first time, she's very impressed. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, Diego greets Barbara as she exits the airplane. Barbara is a little taken aback when she sees the Loupe house. She compares the sprawling structure to a museum. ZZ says that every chance he gets, he's going fishing and not returning until midnight. Diana decides to give the Gates children some mounted alligator heads as gifts. When Jim sees the heads, he realizes it's going to be a tough week for Barbara. Meanwhile ZZ takes Barbara behind the house and shows her the alligators that live nearby. Barbara isn't prepared for the sight of hundreds of alligator skulls, and compares the collection to a mass grave. When Barbara wakes up the next morning, she decides to do a little exploring. She disapproves of the conditions the family's animals live in. Later she tries rousting ZZ, but has a difficult time getting him out of bed. Barbara gives Diego a fruit smoothie. Diego claims he likes the taste, but in reality he doesn't care for it. Diego takes Barbara for a boat ride through the swamp. Barbara doesn't like it when Diego talks about hunting animals. Afterward Diego takes Barbara and ZZ to a seafood restaurant that specializes in Cajun cuisine. Barbara waits until they get to the restaurant to reveal that she's a vegan.

In Louisiana Barbara Gates decides to help ZZ with his homework. Unfortunately she gives ZZ the wrong information when it comes to making the word "monkey" plural. Meanwhile the Gates family decides to take Diana Tregle snorkeling. They hope she'll change her mind about eating animals. Instead the sight of fish make her hungry. The Gateses take Diana to a nearby restaurant that serves vegan food as well as seafood. The children grow upset when Diana orders fish. Diana goes to a store and buys some alligator meat so she can make gumbo for an upcoming family gathering. Diana then discovers a piece of paper taped to the inside of a kitchen cabinet. On the paper is written Barbara's belief that meat is not to be served in the house. Diana decides to go ahead and make the gumbo, but without the alligator meat. Meanwhile Barbara sends ZZ back to the bathroom several times when he fails to brush his teeth to her satisfaction. ZZ eventually begins to cry. Barbara thinks what ZZ needs is to be disciplined. Diego realizes ZZ isn't crying because of Barbara's demands; it's because he misses his mother. Diana resorts to experimentation when she cooks the vegan gumbo. Unfortunately everyone who tastes the gumbo thinks it's way too spicy. Later Diana tries explaining to the Gates' friends and family that she doesn't harm any of the alligators she owns. Then one of the Gates children walks into the living room carrying one of Diana's alligator heads. Diana explains that she also handles snakes, and when she encounters a poisonous one, she kills it, because a poisonous snake might bite and kill her son. One of the women at the gathering admits that although she's a vegan, she kills black widow spiders because they threaten her children. In Louisiana Barbara cooks some vegan food for an upcoming party. Barbara reacts when she realizes the family dog urinated in the kitchen. She pushes the dog towards the urine and swats it.

Later Barbara shows the guests an animal rights video, hoping she can change some of their minds about killing animals. Barbara weeps as she watches the tape. Diego decides to return to the Cajun restaurant so ZZ can get some food that's non-vegan. Barbara speaks about her beliefs regarding the killing of animals. Then she says she'll have a taste of animal meat because she's open-minded. She admits the gator is tasty. The time comes for Barbara and Diana to say their final goodbyes to their host families. Barbara is disappointed when no one is around to see her off. However, the entire Gates family says goodbye to Diana. Later Barbara and Diana meet for the first time. Diana tells Barbara she made vegan gumbo for her family. Barbara decides to confront Diana with her observations on what's wrong with her family (Barbara had been keeping a journal). She tells Diana she thinks ZZ is depressed and needs to eat different food. Diana tells Barbara she's not being open-minded. Barbara and Diana's families are overjoyed when they're finally reunited. Then Barbara and Diana inform everyone about the show's twist: they got to decide how the $50,000 will be spent on their host family. ZZ worries that he might not get the mud boat he wanted because he misbehaved in front of Barbara. Diana reads Barbara's letter aloud. Money is allocated for charitable organizations, a vacation, engines for the family's tour boats, a new roof. and ZZ's mud boat. ZZ is overjoyed. Before Barbara reads Diana's letter, she tells the family they must be happy with Diana's decisions. Diana allocates some cash for Barbara's children, money for a vacation, ten-thousand dollars for Jason to plant an orchard on an adjacent lot, and money for a Jacuzzi. Barbara begins to cry, because she would have used the money differently. Then Barbara realizes Diana is giving her $20,000 to spend however she'd like. Barbara is pleased.
