Joey's dad is back and he's handing out hundred dollar bills.
He's also changed his name from Carter Pigza to Charles Heinz.
Joey's mom thinks it's perfectly normal because she used to be Fran and now she's Maria.
Now Charles and Maria are calling Joey a new name, too.
Freddy.
And it turns out they were never divorced. They're even renewing their vows.
And the whole family is going to run a diner together.
Should Joey's parents really be the ones making all the decisions around here?
