Malcolm in the Middle (2000)

S7E15 A.A.

Francis is surprised by a visit from Lois and Hal as they come to honor his one-year milestone of sobriety. During one of his A.A. meetings, a shocking truth surfaces: it was actually Lois who pressured him into drinking in the first place. Meanwhile, back at home, Dewey discovers Hal’s hidden spare key for his car and seeks out Malcolm and Reese to take him to the arcade, but as expected, they turn him down.
