At SmackDown Live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Mike is drafting his fantasy football team in order to connect with his friends, and the prize is a championship belt with Mike's dad George's face on it (and is affectionately named "The George").
Back at Castle Marmiz, Mike spends time with Monroe and Maryse when Marjo shows up. Miz and Maryse want Marjo - who has a fear of the water after something that happened at a public pool - to be able to swim in case Monroe wanders off and falls into the pool.
Mike prepares for the fantasy football draft, but Maryse wants him to go get diapers as soon as he gets ready. Mike tells Maryse that he will get everything and get the draft done. When Mike heads out, he gets a call from a neighbor and tells him he will not auto-draft this year. He then spends the time shopping, taking calls from Maryse - who is asking for more things - and drafting players for the fantasy football team all at once while dealing with spotty cellphone coverage at the Costco. Not surprisingly, some of Mike's draft picks end up becoming auto-drafts.
Mike makes it home with a few extra things, and Maryse gives him a hard time for not buying the exact brand of butt cream she asked for. Suddenly, Mike and Maryse notice that Marjo is in the pool on a pedal boat. Marjo says she has a pedal boat because she likes being on the water but does not like swimming.
Mike gets another call from his neighbor. This time around, he is waiting on the online delivery trucks to show up so he can intercept the packages when they are dropped off and pretend that he got everything from the store. During the wait, he makes some draft picks, but one of the delivery people rings the doorbell and Mike gets caught out by Maryse. Mike admits to Maryse that he had everything delivered, and Maryse - who makes it a priority for the both of them to be happy - makes it up to Mike with a ticket to Cleveland so he can go to the draft with his friends.
