In an effort to surprise the family with a spectacular Christmas gift, Jimmy buys a Hawaiin vacation for five from a friend who can no longer use the tickets. Thinking he's going to score big points with the family, he is shocked when their reactions to this luxurious gift are less than stellar. Once the family actually gets to the airport, one crisis after another prevents them from even getting off the ground, let alone to the Aloha State for the holidays.

Donna and Jimmy's doctor/friend, Ben Carlson, and his wife Sarah are heading for divorce. Jimmy and Donna take sides and the battle begins. Peaches exposes young Wendy to make-up for the first time and Donna is not happy about it. Gene finds himself having a stroke of good luck at the car lot by selling Jaguars by the droves to bitter, soon-to-be ex-wives of really rich men. Peaches opens up her house to host an Alcoholics Anonymous party.
