Episode 1: "Zoo"

Malcolm is depressed, and the family goes to the zoo. Reese battles a goat, while Malcolm and Dewey end up in a tiger pit. Dewey calms Malcolm long enough for Reese to save them by tossing the goat in the tiger pit. This experience makes Malcolm see his life in a whole new light. Lois' ex-boyfriend, Matt (Tim DeKay), works at the zoo and his demonstration of a tarantula on Hal results in Hal getting a nasty bite. While Hal recovers, Matt inadvertently reveals to him that Lois actually had a third boyfriend, leading to a serious confrontation between Hal and Lois. Francis and Piama's road trip across America results in them meeting a German couple named Otto (Kenneth Mars) and Gretchen (Meagen Fay) who offer Francis a job at their dude ranch.

Episode 2: "Humilithon"

Malcolm's first day of high school gets off to a bad start when Lois embarrasses him in front of the entire school, causing him to have no friends except the Krelboynes. He tries to commit an offence that would make Lois send him to military school, but Cynthia warns him that if he does so, she will 'never have sex with him again', lying and sacrificing her own reputation to restore his. Lois and Hal volunteer in the school, where Hal clashes with Mr. Herkabe. With Malcolm and Reese away, Dewey stays home alone for the first time in his life and has a wonderful time. On the ranch, Francis is overwhelmed with the workload due to Otto constantly allowing his employees to take extended vacations. Just when he is about to quit, Otto gifts him a truck, persuading him to stay.

Episode 3: "Family Reunion"

Francis and Piama visit just as the family goes to Hal's family reunion for his father's birthday, and Hal's family makes Lois miserable because she is from a lower-class family. Hal, Piama and the boys are furious for this and plot revenge on the family. Hal clashes with his father, Walter (Christopher Lloyd), and forces a confession from him by tickling him. The boys drive a golf cart over the celebration with the help of their younger cousins, destroying the party, and incurring the wrath of the adults. Even though Hal and Lois pretend to be angry at the boys, they are both proud of them for standing up to the family. Lois also finally starts treating Piama kindly, not wanting to turn out like her own in-laws.

Episode 4: "Stupid Girl"

Malcolm pretends to be stupid so he can win over a cute girl named Alison (Brittany Finamore) who really is stupid and soon finds that he is actually becoming dumber. Stevie wins Lois' approval and she takes him to the school dance. Hal rents a steamroller and becomes addicted to running over various objects until Dewey brings him back to his senses by standing in front of it. Meanwhile, Francis saves Otto from being conned by a con-artist selling him cow sunscreen.

Episode 5: "Forwards Backwards"

Days before Malcolm's birthday, he and Reese pull increasingly severe pranks against each other. Flashbacks throughout the episode gradually reveal how their feud began when Malcolm ate a blueberry Reese was saving. Dewey worries about his role as Abraham Lincoln in the school play and takes Lois' advice to imagine a set of parents, leading to a memorable performance. Hal enlists Craig to help him find Malcolm a birthday present, but is driven crazy by his constant demands. Although Craig calls off the deal, he rescues Hal from buying a bad comic book and forces the owner into negotiations. The comic book and all of Malcolm's presents end up going to Dewey as compensation for missing his play, due to Hal and Lois having to ground both Reese and Malcolm for their pranks. Meanwhile, Francis and Otto encounter a "devil cow" at the ranch and Francis discovers it is just an ordinary cow long overdue for milking.

Episode 6: "Forbidden Girlfriend"

Malcolm starts to date Nikki (Reagan Dale Neis), a girl from his school that he tutors in his free time. It becomes increasingly complicated to manage their alibis and avoid her dad who dislikes him. Hal and Lois cannot have sex for a week while Lois takes an antibiotic regimen. They find new energy to care for the kids and improve the house, but have a hard time staying apart. At the ranch, Otto is furious with a neighbouring ranch repeatedly destroying the fences that Francis has built to keep the horses inside, so that their own cattle can reach water. In the end, Francis proposes simply adding a gate in the fence.

Episode 7: "Malcolm Holds His Tongue"

Malcolm decides to keep his opinions to himself, but he becomes so repressed that he is hospitalised with a peptic ulcer. Reese must enlist Craig to drive him and his girlfriend, Alison, to a concert. When Reese learns that Craig wants to go on a hayride date and will not let him renege, Alison ditches Reese to go to the concert alone, and he is forced to spend the evening with Craig. Hal starts practicing race-walking, and ends up having talents for it, until he makes a fierce rival, Wheeler. Hal also decides to take on a local speed-walker and buys a speed walking outfit. Hal makes a run at beating this "common jogger", after learning Wheeler's dirty secret. Francis receives an expensive pair of boots from Hal and, over Piama's objections, soaks them in water and wears them for days on end to make them fit perfectly.

Episode 8: "Boys at Ranch"

Hal and the boys visit Francis at the ranch. Everyone is shocked to find that Francis is a lot different from whom they remember. As Hal laments that the ranch succeeded where he failed in instilling responsibility in Francis, the boys try to restore Francis to his old self by revealing a secret stash full of rockets and fireworks. Hal and Otto get drunk and end up stranded in the desert during the night. The boys set off the fireworks, helping to rescue Otto and Hal but blinding themselves.

Episode 9: "Grandma Sues"

Francis and Piama visit the family the same day Grandma Ida's last day of visit. However, Grandma Ida is injured by slipping on leaves Reese neglected to rake up, and she sues Lois and Hal – just when Lois discovers that she is pregnant. To make matters worse, she hires an expensive lawyer and sues for a vast sum. This turns to horror when their insurance company cancels their policy via a loophole, which could lead to Ida evicting them from their own home and taking all of their belongings due to them not being able to afford the out-of-pocket costs. The boys band together with Piama in support for Hal and Lois. However, upon learning that the family has no insurance, the lawyer refuses to aid Ida (since he will not make but pennies off of the settlement), who immediately decides to leave before she can be kicked out.

Episode 10: "If Boys Were Girls"

Hal asks Lois if she would like the new baby to be another boy or a girl, but they are interrupted by the boys fighting. During a hellish trip to the mall with Hal, an exasperated Lois imagines life with daughters instead of sons, with Reese as Renee (Mimi Paley), Malcolm as Mallory (Lisa Foiles), and Dewey as Daisy (Jennette McCurdy). Though the fantasy starts pleasantly, Lois soon discovers the problems with raising girls: Renee is a promiscuous bad girl who is pregnant by Mallory's crush, Mallory is a selfish and egotistical brat who is secretly on diet pills, and Daisy is a master manipulator. The problems are made worse with the arrival of Francis/Frances (Christopher Kennedy Masterson in drag), who had rebelled against Lois, left college, and married a middle-aged deadbeat. The girls gang up and blame Lois for all of their problems, just as the boys had done earlier, making Lois realise that girls are just as difficult to raise as boys. In the real world, Hal desperately searches for the perfect Valentine's Day present for Lois and settles for a baby's outfit. Though the boys are well-behaved for once and have thoughtfully bought a heart-shaped candy box, Lois still wishes for the new baby to be a girl.

Dewey creates a feud in Hal's six-man band for his amusement. At the ranch, Francis blows up Otto's favourite cow, Helga, in a branding accident, and cannot bring himself to tell him.

Episode 12: "Kicked Out"

A combination of Malcolm's disgust at the house falling apart around them, and Hal's fear-induced "zero tolerance" attempts at maintaining peace and order in the family, results in Malcolm being kicked out of the house. The longer he has no home, the more his sanity begins to slip away. Hal finds Malcolm at his ex-girlfriend's house and agrees to keep this between them, knowing that Lois would have gone through greater lengths to find him. At the ranch, Otto's family arrives and Francis has to deal with Otto's piano-playing nephew who intentionally annoys him, which leads to him smashing his piano in front of Otto's family. Reese attaches a fire hose to his back for more speed on his bike, which ends in a disaster.

Episode 13: "Stereo Store"

Hal gets a second job at "U-Buy It." Meanwhile, Jessica (Hayden Panettiere), a girl from Malcolm's school, babysits Malcolm, Reese, and Dewey while Hal works the night shift, and she ends up humiliating them in front of her friends. Hal tries to get in good with his slacker co-workers and goes to a party with them, but it ends up bad as the parents of the middle-aged party host comes home. Francis allows a film crew to shoot at the Grotto unaware that the film is pornographic, and tries to hide the truth from Otto and Gretchen.

Episode 14: "Hal's Friend"

Malcolm and Stevie convince their Krelboyne friend Dabney to become more independent from his overprotective mother. Dewey manipulates Reese to do favours for him by pretending Lois is giving Reese orders through the phone. Meanwhile, whilst Piama and Gretchen are on vacation for the weekend, Otto stays with Francis in his bed but to Francis' horror, Otto screams uncontrollably in his sleep.

Episode 15: "Garage Sale"

Home from a visit with her sister, Susan, who had called her "hopeless," Lois puts Reese in charge of the family garage sale to build his character, but he gets carried away with the authority. When Reese sells Dewey's piggy bank that had $16 inside it for a fraction of said money, and Lois refuses to do anything about it, Dewey takes revenge on the family by selling all the valuable items inside the house (TV, stereo, bookshelf, etc.) Hal finds his old pirate radio transmitter and restarts the station he ran in college under the pseudonym Kid Charlemagne. However, he ends up in trouble with the FCC. Malcolm finds an old computer worth thousands of dollars and arranges to sell it to Craig. At the last second, Hal pulls Craig away to help continue transmitting his radio show, and Reese intentionally destroys the computer. After learning how much the computer was worth, Lois severely punishes Reese for his behaviour. At the ranch, Otto becomes more and more depressed whilst dealing with his estrangement from his son, Rutger, worrying Francis and Gretchen dearly.

Episode 17: "Clip Show 2"

Hal forewarned against making out the will because he and Lois are not equipped for the task and wanted to go to a professional to make out the will.

Episode 18: "Reese's Party"

Reese decides to throw a party while Lois and Hal take a last weekend getaway before the baby is born. Unfortunately, he invites Francis' friend Donnie and his gang, on the same night that Malcolm had planned a romantic dinner with his new girlfriend Kathy (Danielle Panabaker), and they turn the party into a crystal meth operation.

Fearing that this might be his future self, Malcolm tries to help Leonard to improve his life. Lois cannot understand why she is gaining weight in spite of her dieting attempts. Dewey keeps playing stunts, using the excuse that the baby "told" him to. Lois is about to punish him, saying the baby is not talking to him, when Dewey tells her the baby "says" to look behind her, revealing Hal has deliberately been making her gain weight (finding her growing curves arousing). Francis gets a swollen ego when he and Piama find employment as nude models.

Episode 20: "Baby: Part 1"

Hal and the boys spend the day at a bridal exposition (which Hal had mistaken for a car exposition).
