While trying to impress the girl he likes, Derrick accidentally promises to bring her son’s father home from war. Randy helps plan the sort of tear-soaked soldier reunion that he never had with his own father. Meanwhile, Pete and Jill must set aside their differences to lead the platoon in a game of flag football against the athletically superior Marines.

Randy and Pete partake in Sgt. Major Cody’s Army Ranger trials, reigniting their intense competition over everything. Things take a turn when Jill joins the trial and both brothers think they’re in love with her. Meanwhile, Derrick feels emasculated by Erin’s ex, and enlists the platoon to make him seem more capable of manly tasks than he really is.

The Hill brothers celebrate Pete’s one-year anniversary of almost dying in Afghanistan, otherwise known as his “Alive Day.” After the funding has been cut for the annual ball, which was going to honor Major Cody, Pete enlists the platoon to create their own ball to honor him.
