Lois' lifestyle causes conflict within Peter who isn't sure about the changes but certainly likes most of Lois' new persona. But her new lifestyle soon begins to wear on him. When he gets tired at a party, he becomes a drag on Lois and she splits off to party with younger girls. Back home, Peter moans about her behavior.
