Plot[]
After Hilary leaves Nicky with Will, he decides to use Nicky as his son to attract girls when seeing the attention another single father is getting. Things go smoothly until a reporter for the school newspaper declares Will "Father of the Year" and has him on a live news report, something that Vivian and Phillip see from their hotel room.
On the news report, Will is given a years supply of baby products and a trip to Hawaii but soon feels guilty and admits the truth in front of Jackie, the school reporter and the live crew, giving all of the stuff to the real single father. Jackie and the school reporter are both angered while the single father thanks Will and reveals that the baby he had was not really his either as he was using the same routine as Will. As punishment for using Nicky, Phillip sits on Will, seeming squashing him by the screams Will makes.
