On Damage Control, parents tell their teenage child that they're going away for the weekend, but actually hide out with Bouvier a short distance from the house. Using secret cameras and an insider friend of the teenager, the parents and Bouvier watch every move the teen makes. Parents win money by correctly predicting the next action their child will take. At the end of the weekend, the parents return to the house. The teen can win money at that point by confessing to the events that took place. Eventually, Bouvier appears on the set to save the day, and reveals what actually went on - to "do some damage control", as he says.
