Cameron's ex-wife Paige returns and wants custody of Henry, and plans to move to Florida to raise bees.
When Don and Sharon go away for the night to rekindle their romance, Jeff throws a house party. Concerned, Carrie calls her Uncle Cameron to put an end to it... but seeing it as an escape, he joins the fun and brings reluctant son Henry with him.
On the eve of his 40th birthday, Cameron gets laid off from work and keeps it a secret from his family... who are planning to throw him a surprise party.
In the middle of an argument with Cameron, Colleen is rushed to the hospital with chest pains. Fearing she's had a heart attack, the family rushes to be by her side... with Cameron feeling especially guilty that the stress of their fight brought it on.
Cameron throws his annual barbeque, which quickly becomes a comedy of errors with one miscommunication after another among family members – and Cameron at the center of it all – turning what should be a fun family get-together into a group therapy session.
Family is always unpredictable, so why write a family comedy when you can live dangerously and improvise instead? Like real families, you never know what will happen when you give characters total freedom. Adult siblings Cameron, Sharon and Jenna have many years of shared history in this small town. Like every other family on the planet, their history includes many mistakes. This is proven by the multiple marriages and many children in their close extended clan.
