Ivy and Julie were watching The Brady Bunch when Andrew changed the channel without warning, saying The Six Million Dollar Man was on. Ivy thinks how impossible it was living with her older brother, and she recalls what happened last weekend. Ivy pokes her tofu as her brother started to brag about his kung-fu lesson.
