Meanwhile, Mohican Airways is being rebranded as Ala-Hican after being bought out by Alaquippa. Rosie took the buy out to become full-time alderman and to focus on saving his neighbourhood from being demolished by the corrupt Mayor Tangenti. Bob Pogo took it as well to open Skinneees, a restaurant that only sells chicken skins. He rents Captain Chucklethrust’s (formerly Captain Chucklecrust’s) from Louis Gagliardi. Bob is later shown happily de-skinning chicken carcasses for opening day.

At a staff meeting, Alaquippa Ed and Burke (President of Ground Operations or POGO) introduce themselves and new company standards in the employee handbook much to Red and Carl’s chagrin. Frank tries to convince them to give it a chance, but Red and Carl announce that they are taking the buy out to continue with pornos in Chatsworth, California. Frank tries to convince Ed to continue doing things the way they did before. Ed then refuses and explains that the airport is operating in an inefficient manner; and tells Frank to come in for unpaid training that weekend. Frank threatens to take the buy out for his 20 years of service to Mohican. Ed explains that he was technically employed with Mohican for 6 1/2 months (being fired on Christmas Eve and rehired in April) and therefore, he won’t get a large buy out (only less than $50).

Later, Susan arrives at DeSegra Gates Country Club (Segra Gates in 1958) with Megan in tow, to meet with her parents for lunch. She tries to convince her father to come for Thanksgiving and to make up with Frank. She even mentions that she wants to invite Louis. Stan instantly refuses, having disowned him at Sue and Frank’s wedding reception in 1958. Flashbacks throughout the episode explain that Sue was trying to hide her pregnancy from her father. Stan found out after overhearing her conversation with Gert. He angrily decided to disown her and Sue spitefully reveals Louis’ sexuality. Sue regrets her actions and feels angry at her father. With Marilyn’s persuasion, Stan reluctantly agrees that he will come to Thanksgiving and be cordial with Frank and Louis. Back at home, Sue begins to put her cigarettes in the garbage disposal feeling proud of herself for not smoking. Her happy moment is disrupted by the police bringing Bill home. Later on while Frank is yelling at Bill for his arrest, she tries to salvage a cigarette from the garbage disposal.

Kevin then meets Alice's family, including her psychiatrist father, Dr. Erwin Goldman. He annoys Alice by lecturing them about teenage urges and invites Kevin to stay for dinner. The episode ends with Erwin and Kevin playing guitar and singing together.
