At Rental Marmiz in Calabasas, California, Maryse tells Mike that Monroe is getting faster while she is getting slower. When Mike puts Monroe down to get something from the refrigerator, Monroe goes missing and Maryse shows up with Monroe. Mike proposes a "man-to-man defense" strategy of keeping track of two children.
Barbara and Marjo come up with zany baby name ideas as they, Mike and Maryse go ice skating. Mike and Barbara can barely stay on the ice, but Marjo definitely knows how to skate and is very fast, much to Mike's surprise. Maryse wants to have an ice skating tradition for her and Mike's children.
At Rental Marmiz, Mike is in the market for a pool fence, and makes sure that Monroe does not fall into the nearby pool. Mike tells Maryse that the earliest they can get a pool fence is next week, much to Maryse's chagrin.
Mike, Maryse and Barbara go clothes shopping. Here, it is revealed that Barbara only buys things that are on sale and that "[she] shop[s] till [she] drops, and [she doesn't] drop." Mike and Maryse, in an attempt to get out of a shopping trip, put something in Barbara's purse, then try to get Barbara in trouble for attempted theft.
Mike tries to make golfing a family tradition, thinking it has all the things that a family can come together with. Maryse wants to do something that everybody can do, however.
At Rental Marmiz, Maryse's friend Anne shows up with her two kids so she can take care of stuff. Mike finds out that Jack - one of the two kids - is quite fast, and as soon as he loses track of him, all heck breaks loose, as one causes trouble while Mike is focused on the other.
Mike cathces up with Maryse and asks for help. Much to his surprise, Jack proves a handful even for Maryse, and Monroe is in the stroller alone in an elevator. Mike watches Monroe while Maryse and Jack meet Mike and Monroe on the floor below. Mike and Maryse realize having more than one kid is not all it is cracked up to be.
Mike tries to make pancakes with Monroe, and comes up with the idea of "Pancake Thursdays." Maryse likes the idea, even if the pancakes are burnt and contain cottage cheese. Suddenly, Maryse realizes that they have a tradition in photo shoots, as they have been doing this for as long as they have been together to celebrate things that have really mattered, and it also helps that it just happened and was not forced. Mike celebrates with a selfie of the family.
At Rental Marmiz, the pool fence is finally set up. Mike talks about the day he and Maryse had taking care of more than one kid, and Mike becomes more of a "prevent defense" guy.
