The latest episode of "House of Payne" kicks off with some classic tension between CJ and Janine. Janine returns home from work, only to find CJ relaxing on his day off. Naturally, a little shade is thrown, and the two start bickering over the smallest things. They eventually call a truce, but that doesn’t last long when their twins, Jayden and Hayden, announce they’re both running for student body president. CJ immediately volunteers to manage Jayden’s campaign, and Janine decides to help Hayden. Needless to say, that truce is off the table as the household turns into campaign headquarters for both kids.

Meanwhile, over at Ella and Curtis' place, Calvin drops by to vent about his son, Jr.'s latest outburst. After earning back his video games for good behavior, Jr. loses his temper and breaks his controller in a fit of rage. Calvin takes the games away again and insists Jr. will have to buy a new controller himself. Ella advises Calvin to break the cycle of punishment and encourage Jr. to find a healthy outlet for his frustration. Calvin somehow interprets that as signing Jr. up for football.

At first, Jr. is excited about the idea of playing football, but after a heart-to-heart with Grandma Ella, he starts having second thoughts. When Calvin returns, Jr. admits he's not so sure about football anymore, much to Ella's quiet relief. She suggests tennis as an alternative, leaving Jr. torn between the two sports. Calvin and Curtis try to push football, but Ella wisely advises Jr. to take his time and think it over.

Back in CJ and Janine’s world, both twins ultimately lose their bids for student body president. However, the shared disappointment brings CJ and Janine closer together, ending the episode on a positive note. In a sweet moment, the couple agrees to go on a date to reconnect, restoring harmony to the Payne household.
