Alex's new company is putting her up at a new luxury apartment with full amenities and a list of high-profile residents that the family is eager to take advantage of, without her knowing. Phil is on a mission to review the restaurant's famous sliders for his food blog, while Mitch and Cam sneak in separately to meet its most famous resident, David Beckham.

==Episode Description==
The adults, along with Manny and Luke, visit Alex at the Prescott, a luxury apartment complex her company has provided for her. Everyone wants to test out the huge list of amenities, but Alex forbids it as all guests must be accompanied by a resident (with the threat of eviction if this rule is broken) and she's too busy with a project to leave her apartment. Obviously, the family then separately decide to memorise her passcode and come back in order to use the luxuries without her knowledge. Phil has a blog on which he talks about food but has a troll that he has set his followers on, not knowing the troll is actually Jay. Since Jay only sees that a review wears a hoodie, David borrows Phil's and Jay mistakenly believes that David Beckham is the reviewer. Gloria announces to Claire that she heard about a famous stylist working in the building's new hair salon and Claire decides to dye her hair while Phil avoids the security robot since he does not live in this building.
Luke and Manny take zumba gym in order to seduce older women while Cam and Mitch want to meet the Beckhams who are also residents. David Beckham happens to be participating in a bowling tournament that day with Courtney Cox.
Also, a series of quiproquos begin as Luke and Manny both see Claire's back , Manny when her dyer works and Luke when her dyer is gone. Claire actually hides from Gloria who was rescued by Higgins, ruining Phil's favourite hot-dog. Jay searches for a special room to watch his movies because at home, Manny's commentaries prevent him from seeing it. And Higgins joins Mitch and Cam at the pool bath. Luke and Manny are surprised when both Courteney and David meet them and Phil and Gloria both believe that the other is attracted by him/her. Claire, meanwhile, thinks her hair are always dark, and can't understand why G
As every character wear a peignoir and meet each other, Mitch discusses with Courteney Cox and Cam befriends David Beckham. Jay and Gloria meet each other and decide to spend some quality time in the hot tub together.
In the post credits tag scene, Alex visits the family to show them a list of extra bills she's received due to their expenses. As she reads them off Mitch suddenly realises that they left Cam at the Prescott, where he is continuing to run up his tab.
