Henry is forced to move in with his outspoken father Ed when he is fired from his job as writer for a men's magazine.

Al ver que su permanencia en el hogar paterno se prolongará indefinidamente, Henry decide instalar una conexión a Internet en el interior de la casa; para así poder trabajar. Pero, Ed, que no es un fanático de la tecnología, se niega de manera intransigente; incluso llegando al extremo de apuntar con una escopeta al técnico que Henry envía para realizar la instalación. Henry, siendo tan testarudo como su padre, responde a la situación llevándose su ordenador portátil al tejado para trabajar desde ese lugar desde donde puede captar una señal inalámbrica (wifi). Pero, cuando Henry se cae del tejado, Ed cede y permite que se realice la instalación de Internet en la casa.

Henry va a cenar temprano donde preparan sus tortitas favoritas. Allí Ed, su padre, que lo acompaña, reconoce a Tim; empleado del departamento de transportes que alteró la puntuación de su examen de conducir y que así pudiese obtener su ansiada licencia. Luego de ello, Tim fue despedido de su empleo y ahora debe servir mesas para sobrevivir. Cuando Ed declina aceptar su cuota de responsabilidad en el despido de Tim, Henry se enfurece; y los argumentos derivan en el resentimiento hacia su padre por haber engañado a su madre. Sin embargo, Vince, también hijo de Ed y hermano de Henry, revela que la verdad fue al revés. Ocurrió que fue la madre de Henry quién engañó a Ed; y todo parece indicar que Ed asumió la culpa de la ruptura familiar con el propósito de proteger a la mujer que crió a su hijo. Ello lleva a que Henry ve las cosas bajo una nueva luz.

Henry envía a Ed a junto una chica para pedirle que le diga lo que debe aprender para lidiar con su despido. Esta situación resulta en una doble cita cuando la chica insiste en llevar a su tía, y que Ed la acompañe. Así, mientras Ed y la tía en cuestión se llevan de maravilla, la cita de Henry no marcha nada bien. Ed lleva un largo tiempo siguiendo sus propias reglas, y no puede romperlas por Henry. Así, Ed termina humillándose a sí mismo para proteger a Henry de una situación embarazosa. Mientras tanto, Vince descubre una antigua caja con sus fotos de bebé y se desanima cuando se da cuenta que no está sonriendo en ninguna de ellas.

Henry toma prestada una de las camisas de Ed, su padre, sin pedírsela. Al notarlo, Ed avergüenza públicamente a Henry frente a Zoey, la chica que le gusta y con quien salió; para luego decirle que se la devuelva y obligándolo a pasar el resto de la velada sin ninguna camisa puesta. Cuando llegan a casa, a pesar de todo, Ed descubre que él sin querer le prestó a Josh, su mejor amigo, la chaqueta favorita de Henry. No queriendo ser sorprendido quebrantando una de sus propias reglas, Ed intenta recuperar la chaqueta sin que Henry lo note y antes de que la extrañe. Por desgracia para Ed, Josh usó la chaqueta para hacer entrar en calor a un hombre que se estaba ahogado; y que más tarde falleció. Esto significa que la chaqueta se encuentra en un ataúd lista para ir al cementerio.

Ed insists that while they don’t like each other, they are comfortable with the situation as it is, and there’s no need to get involved. Henry persists, and manages to forge a truce between the two men. But when Henry realizes that this is the same neighbor who confiscated his childhood bike, he becomes enraged and starts his own confrontation with Mr. Campbell. When Henry's prowling in his neighbor's shed gives Mr. Campbell a minor heart attack, we learn that Ed and Mr. Campbell are actually friends - in a twisted, hate-filled sort of way. Meanwhile, Vince and Bonnie have trouble adopting a dog when an animal shelter rejects their application

After she and Vince moved in to Ed's house, Bonnie tries to make the best of things by instituting a new tradition of the Goodson Family Dinner. At first everyone annoys each other to the point where they end up eating seperately. By the end of the episode, though, Ed realizes that bringing the family together once in a while is a good thing. He decides to reinstitute the Goodson Family Dinner providing everyone eats in silence. Meanwhile, both Ed and Henry learn lessons about ambition. Ed meets a young hotshot doctor during rounds at the hospital and wishes that Henry were more like him. When he learns that the doctor is willing to cut corners with his patients in order to get ahead, though, he realizes that his son is actually the better man. Henry, on the other hand, covers for a young fact checker at work and is punished by having to cover a senior citizen dance instead of doing an important political interview. After talking to his father, he realizes that sometimes he needs to be a little more aggresive if he wants to get ahead. Vince's self-esteem takes a hit when Bonnie hires outside workers to assemble a new cabinet she bought instead of letting her husband do it. In the end, she shows him that he doesn't have to be good at stuff like that to please her - loving her is enough.

On a day off from work, Henry decides to spend some quality time with his father. Ed, however, is only interested in picking up a Steve Garvey baseball that he ordered from Authentic Carl’s sports memorabilia shop. When Henry is unable to convince him to do anything else, he decides to tag along with his father. By the time the Goodsons reach the store, however, Authentic Carl has already sold the ball. Henry helps Ed find out who bought it, and they both stake out the ball owner’s house, waiting for him to get home. While Ed doesn’t get his ball, he does learn that father/son bonding can be an enjoyable experience. Vince and Bonnie, tired of Ed interrupting them in their new attic bedroom, decide to move into Ed’s garage for more privacy. They have also decided to adopt a positive attitude at all times in the hopes that this will help them conceive a child. But as much as they want to maintain their new-found optimism, the garage’s many horrible qualities test their patience.

When Vince and Bonnie learn that the reverend who married them didn't actually have a license, they decide to have a new wedding in Ed's house. Vince has trouble finding a tux that fits him, as the one he wore for his last wedding is too big, and when he takes it to the tailor it comes back too small. Meanwhile, Bonnie has invited her father, Terry, to walk her down the aisle. He is a gambling addict, and Ed is worried that him being there will do nothing but cause Bonnie disappointment. Bonnie tells Ed that she believes in her father, but Ed is proven right in the end. He catches Terry losing the money that Bonnie loaned him to get food and wine for the ceremony in a blackjack game. Ed bails him out and brings him back to the wedding, where Bonnie realizes that Ed is like the father she never had.

But when he gives her an amazing foot massage right before the debate begins, she is thrown off her game and Ed manages to sway the crowd. Meanwhile, Henry invites local news anchor Soledad Cho over to the house in order to conduct an interview with her. Vince decides to meet her because she is on his list of celebrities he can have sex with and not have it count as cheating on Bonnie. When she returns his advances, though, Vince decides that his marriage is more important than having sex with a celebrity crush.

As the newly-elected head of the Homeowners' Association, Ed is more concerned with pursuing his neighbor Rosemary Pernworth than he is with passing any legislation. But Rosemary isn't interested in Ed's casual, blunt approach to relationships - she wants romance and courtship. So with the help of Bonnie, Ed decides to try and become a better man in order to win the affection of his neighbor.

Ed gets jealous when he learns that Rosemary is also seeing another man - an arrogant millionaire named Don. After a talk with Henry, he decides to tell Rosemary that he wants them to be exclusive. But when he arrives at Rosemary’s house, Don tells him that he is going to ask Rosemary to go steady with him that night at a benefit dinner at the zoo. Ed knows that his only chance to stay with Rosemary depends on sneaking into the event and beating his rival to the punch.
