Plot
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn complain that they are too old to be the spokespersons of Honest Abe's Tire Store, and believe they are under appreciated. They decide to resign from their post, tired of being lumped together as the Harper Quads.
A little while later, the Harpers are replaced by the musical Kramden Quadruplets: Emma, Jules, George and Lyle. Much to their jealousy, the Kramden Quads are musically talented and receive special treatment from Abe, who has big plans for the new quadruplets and is even able to remember their names. The Harper Quads try to convince Abe to let them have their job back. However, Abe believes that their quadruplet charm has worn off since they frequently fight, whereas the Kramden Quads never fight.
The Harper Quads believe that the Kramden Quadruplets aren't really quads since they don't fight. To prove their point, they plan to collect DNA samples from the Kramdens and have it analyzed by Mae's mother. They invite the Kramdens over to the store, only for their plan to be revealed when Emma notices the bag reading DNA sample. The Harpers give Mae the Kramden's DNA samples, and their own DNA samples to be tested.
Abe approaches the Harper Quads and gives them their job back after the Kramden Quadruplets suddenly leave. They are approached by Mae, who reveals that the Kramden Quadruplets are indeed real multiples, however, one of the Harper Quadruplets isn't related to the others. The Harpers are upset that they're not all biologically related, however, Anne and Tom assure them that it's not blood doesn't make family, but love. Mae's mom retests the DNA samples, and it is revealed that one of them got contaminated... by Squishy, who's been chewing on everything lately. [1]
