After three months of dating, Evan invites Gently to his parents' 40th anniversary party. What starts out as a lovely evening quickly goes awry when Evan's father has too much to drink and his mother can't hide her contempt for Gently.

Evan takes a day away from his new tech company to help Gently make as many wedding decisions as possible, but they soon realize they have wildly different expectations for their big day.

At Evan's urging, he and Gently spend the day "shopping" for a counselor to help them address their issues, but it soon becomes apparent that their problems are deeper than either of them imagined.
