Mia wants a new chair, but Frank sees no reason to invest in expensive furniture. He believes the money has been spent better on a shared lawn mower with the neighbor. But the contents of Frank's bird box come across the good neighborhood, and Frank starts the sweet revenge. Among other things, he will pretend to be one of the Muhammad cartoonists. Before long, a life-threatening situation arises in the home, and Mia curses Frank's reed shoes far away.

Mia and Frank have moved in with Mia's parents. They are trying to find ways to cultivate the joys of privacy anyway. Casper's depression is now so severe that he has been hospitalized and Frank is in a dilemma, should he prioritize sex or his sick friend? Persistent attempts on the part of Frank and Mia to find "alone time" are wasted, and Frank admits that the father-in-law gets more sex than he does.
