There are three simultaneous plots:
1. There's a heat wave, the goal is to get a pool
2. There isn't enough money, so the family holds a garage sale, but some are not willing to part with their belongings.
3. A superhero weapon is accidentally sold at the garage sale, efforts to recoup it ensue.
There are a bit more jokes and gags in this episode than usual and most of them are funny. Examples are: -Phoebe doesn't really think her moms powers were very threatening, she mentions that the worst thing her powers could do is cause someones lights to go out.
-The kid who bought the superhero weapon is extraordinarily verbally abusive to Max by calling him names like Hipster, Sideburns, Wallstreet, Chinatown and Tank top, which Max never wore up to that point, but does wear one to the boys house later in the episode.
-Hank tells the kids they don't have to sell things they still use, Nora puts on every bow she owns to avoid having to sell them, the result is she is a giant blob of bows.
-Barb fires up her old computer and witnesses things like a huge number of updates to process and the completion status of those updates going in reverse.
In the end the family ends up with a kiddie pool, but ends up respecting the mothers superpowers better after seeing them in action.
