Ray gets tired of being treated like a kid at his father's poker game, so he decides to ignore his father's advice and ends up losing all his money.

Frank is elected Man of the Year down at the Lodge, and Marie enlists the reluctant Ray and Robert to prepare his tribute.

After Frank stops by Ray and Debra's house to borrow some ointment for his thighs, he becomes unusually interested in spending time with Ray. Initially, Ray finds it weird and is concerned that his father has suffered a physical trauma to the head, but after two of Frank's friends from the lodge stop by, all becomes clear.

Everyone gets on Ray's case because he's doesn't go to Sunday Mass. When Ray starts feeling guilty and sees the good example his father Frank is setting by attending church, he commits to becoming a regular parishioner. But when he shows up at the church, he soon figures out the real reason his father likes attending Mass.

Thinking it would be hilarious to show the party-goers a typical day in the life of Frank and Marie, Ray and Debra do a dead-on impersonation of the two that brings down the house at the party. But when Frank and Marie turn the tables and do a Ray and Debra imitation, the couple finds it much less funny.

Ray writes a eulogy for his father Frank, who hasn't died yet. In the eulogy, he tells a childhood story about watching his tough dad pet the family bunny named Hoppy. Unfortunately for Ray, Marie reads the eulogy and gets offended when she learns that Ray hasn't written one for her.

Ray fears something is wrong with him after he comes home from a night out with his friends and tells Debra that he didn't enjoy it. She thinks Ray is finally growing up.

Ray throws a lame bachelor party for Robert and is shamed by Debra, Marie, and Amy into throwing him a proper one at the lodge, which will also be attended by Amy's father and brother.

When Debra accepts a position at Frank's lodge to help plan a member recruitment party, Ray begins to resent how much time she is spending away from home.
