Travis brings home his new girlfriend, Kirsten, a grad-student, to meet Jules. Jules feels instantly threatened when Ellie points out that, moving forward, any girl Travis brings home could be her future daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, Grayson's house has become the new place for the gang to hang out, which he hates, and Travis turns to Bobby for advice.

Jules says "I love you" to Grayson for the first time, but when Grayson doesn't reciprocate with the words she wants to hear, she's determined to host a "romantic" Thanksgiving in order force the moment on of him. Meanwhile, Ellie and Laurie team up to knock the optimism out of Andy, and Bobby is upset when the gang confesses that sometimes they can't understand what he's saying.

Jules wants to help Bobby gain his confidence back and thinks fixing up his boat and getting it back in the water will do the trick.

When Grayson doesn't share Jules' sadness on a series of unfortunate but accidental events, she questions whether they're meant to be together.

Meanwhile, Travis' new girlfriend throws Bobby off his golf game, and Ellie gets upset with Andy when he uses their joke on Laurie.

Although Laurie may be the worst houseguest ever, Jules is there for her when she needs a place to stay; Laurie helps Jules to realize she doesn't need to change for others; and when Bobby is jealous that Travis has gone to Grayson for advice, Grayson comes through for his buddy.

Jules wishes Grayson would share his feelings with her; Ellie insists she doesn't want to do anything for Valentine's Day; Andy makes a date with Bobby; Travis asks Laurie for help with his gift for Kirsten.

Once again Jules chooses to get too involved in Travis' life.

Jules tries to not interfere when Travis contemplates a big decision; the gang tries stop taking advantage of each other.
