Kevin and his friends are now venturing into adolescence, as they find themselves lusting after Marsha Millany in a bikini at the town pool.

To bring the family closer, Norma suggests that the family attend Jack's company picnic on Labor Day, but the outing isn't as fun as they remember. Kevin finds out that "office clown" Harry "Dead Wood" Detweiler ( Rick Hurst ) beat his father out of a promotion and is now NORCOM Vice-President while boating with his daughter Mimi ( Soleil Moon Frye ). In the company softball game, Jack gets knocked out when Kevin accidentally hits a ball at him, but he is the one apologizing for not telling his son about the promotion. Wayne then quickly gets dumped by Angela and wonders why. However, the family comes together in the end when they see Karen off to college.
