The Johnsons can't agree on what movie to see on their traditional Christmas trip to the theatre, and Junior feels embarrassed about taking a gap year after he runs into his ex-girlfriend.

When Junior is accepted to Howard and Stanford, Dre tries to convince him to attend his alma mater. Ruby decides she's going to manage Jack's comedy career, forcing Diane to compete for her attention.

Dre and Bow decide to go back to their therapist, who suggests they make time for a date night. When the bouncy castle gets left behind after Devante's birthday party, Jack and Diane take advantage of it in different ways.

Tensions are high between Dre and Bow as their contractor arrives to remodel the kitchen. Dre reflects on the good times in his relationship with Bow.

The family is divided over the idea of getting a dog. Meanwhile, Bow's brother Johan is in town and he doesn't get the warm welcome he expects from Ruby.

After Dre and Bow drop Junior off at college, he returns home, having decided he wants to take a gap year. Elsewhere, Jack and Diane begin to question whether they should still be sharing a room.
