Frank (William H. Macy) goes to the bar, where he seizes the opportunity to get a free drink. However, he is punched by Eddie (Joel Murray), who blames Frank for Ian (Cameron Monaghan) getting oral sex from Karen (Laura Slade Wiggins). When Frank returns home, he suddenly hits Ian in the nose, prompting Steve (Justin Chatwin) to scold him; Fiona (Emmy Rossum) is forced to ask Steve to leave before the situation worsens.

The following day, Frank goes missing. Fiona and her siblings express concern over Frank's whereabouts as it is the last Friday of the month, which is when Frank prepares to get his disability checks. Frank wakes up in Toronto and is subsequently arrested for not carrying a passport. As Fiona and her siblings debate on what to do as getting him a passport will take months, Steve reveals that he smuggled Frank into Canada while stealing a car, feeling he could finally solve their family issues. Fiona slaps him and forces him to find a way to bring him back. Steve gets an RV, which includes a secret smuggling compartment for Frank. Meanwhile, local cop Tony Markovich (Tyler Jacob Moore) asks Fiona out on a date, which she considers. After Steve successfully smuggles Frank back into Chicago, Fiona breaks up with him. He tries to win her over by getting her a new car, but she tells him she will return the money he paid for the washing machine.

Feeling unwanted by his family, Frank decides to move out of the house, but is unable to find a new home. He runs into Eddie at the bar, who apologizes for his actions and buys him a beer. Eddie reveals that he has left Karen and her agoraphobic mother Sheila (Joan Cusack), who is mentally ill and receives disability benefits from the welfare state. Intrigued, Frank visits Sheila and attempts to manipulate her into letting him stay at her house. He eventually convinces Sheila to have sex, but is quickly taken aback by her dominatrix behavior. The next morning, Karen is dismayed to learn that Frank has officially moved into their home.
