S04E07 — Viva Las Joey

Teaser: Michelle tells Jesse she has an "owie". Main Synopsis: Because of an illness, the Aronson Chimps, who are scheduled to open for Wayne Newton in Las Vegas, can't perform, so Joey's agent gets him booked to take the place of the Aronson Chimps. As Joey is packing, and everyone is preparing to go to Las Vegas, Jesse suggests that Joey call his mother Mindy to tell her to come to Las Vegas to see him, but Joey mentions that Mindy has a job working as Goofy at Disney World, so Jesse asks Joey if he would like to invite his father to see the show. Joey tells Jesse that he doesn't think his father, Colonel Gladstone, would be able to make it to the show. This gives D.J. and Stephanie an idea -- why don't they surprise Joey by secretly inviting the Colonel to the show? The family heads to Las Vegas after D.J. and Stephanie leave a message on the Colonel's answering machine. In Joey's dressing room, Stephanie slips up and mentions that she and D.J. secretly invited the Colonel. Danny
