After Rodrick's party, his parents could no longer trust him to take care of the house and his siblings alone. At first rodrick protested the idea of a babysitter, saying that Greg and Manny didn't need one since he could watch them, when it was revealed that the babysitter would also be monitoring rodrick as well. Upset by his parents (understandable) lack of trust, he sets out to get this person to quit. When he saw his mother open the door, his old childhood best friend was not who he expected to see.
