When the office celebrates a promotion for Clark, Ken is oblivious since he lives in his own world…it’s the last straw for Clark dealing with Ken’s selfish ways. Clark writes a fake complaint comment card about Ken, so he’s forced to attend a training seminar for better bedside manners, which leaves Allison at home to have dinner with Ken’s parents.

On Halloween, Allison is disappointed the holiday doesn’t seem to scare Dave anymore, meaning her little boy is growing up, perhaps too fast.

Molly rebels and gets a Japanese tattoo, which spirals Ken and Allison into having a cultural face-off.

The episode opens with a flashback to Ken's botched marriage proposal on Halloween. Now 20 years later, Ken tries to arrange the perfect re-proposal for Allison.

When Allison gushes about how excited she is to go to Hawaii for the holidays, Ken realizes that he forgot to ask for those days off. So Ken, not wanting to admit he messed up, turns to lying, begging and bribing the master scheduler for the office (with whom no one has ever met), hoping he can give him the time off.

Molly admits to taking a sip of beer at a party, but insists she hated it and didn't drink the rest.

His experiment goes awry when he accidentally gets blitzed and makes a fool of himself in front of her friends.

Ken's sister Wendi, a successful doctor/TV host on a medical talk show, comes to visit the family and tension ensues. Ken can't admit that he's jealous of his sister's newfound success. So when Wendi invites Ken to be a guest on her show, he makes a mockery of it.
