We meet Jay, an older grandfather that recently re-married a much younger wife, Gloria. Along with Gloria comes her son, Manny. Jay starts to feel too old when he's mistaken for Gloria's father at one of Manny's soccer games by one of the other dads. Jay decides to head to the mall to start dressing hipper, while Manny decides he's going to romance a much older employee. Though Jay tries to stop poor Manny from embarassing himself, he goes for it anyway and Gloria tells him he has to start encouraging him more.
Meanwhile, Claire and Phil are struggling with parenting their kids as well.
