Chris secretly longs for a few days to unwind when the demands of his work start piling up. Instead, he must prepare for a visit from television host Lucia Kent (Jennifer Lind) who plans to broadcast her show live from his house. To spruce things up, Chris decided to install a fountain and, ever frugal, begins the work himself. While digging in his backyard, he uncovers a hatch leading to a 1950's bomb shelter. Later, excited by his historical find, Chris invites Yola, Kenney, Roly, and Hershel to go below. But when the inside latch breaks off, trapping them all inside, it seems assured that Chris will have an endless holiday!

Meanwhile, Anson can't think or see straight when Julia, a hot new waitress at Bimbo's (Missy Peregrym) convinces him that he would be more appealing with green eyes. But the new tinted contact lenses don't do anything for his looks, his vision, or his love life. Dejected, he heads over to Chris' house to discover everyone inexplicably missing.

Yola isn't sure how she feels when her mother, Betty (Mimi Kuzyk,) receives a marriage proposal from a guy Yola used to date. Feeling heavy-hearted and very single, she does her best to help her mom with the wedding preparations while secretly wondering why it isn't the other way around.

On a flight to Nashville to sing a duet with Emmy Lou Harris, Chris and the gang are forced to crash land in a wheat field in the middle of nowhere. They come upon an isolated by picturesque farmhouse and are warmly greeted by Evie (Janet Wright) and her husband Del (Don S. Davis,) who recognize Chris right away. But despite their apparent good will, Chris and the others begin to suspect that Evie and her family are hiding something and have no intention of helping them to get home.

As Yola settles into the guest room, she notices the odd behavior of Evie's son, Teddy (John Corbett,) and how he is always sneaking up into the attic. More curious than afraid, she is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and is amazed by what she discovers.

Meanwhile, Anson has a dilemma. He's very attracted to Evie's daughter Inger (Allison Moorer,) but he made a promise to God to give up girls if they survived the plane crash. Now he's having to resist all her seductive advances and the temptation is making him miserable.

Chris accepts an invitation to sing the national anthem at the San Francisco Giants next game. Then Roly recounts Chris's previous attempt at the anthem, when he botched both the lyrics and the notorious high note. Chris remembers too, and the embarrassment and humiliation that went with it. But he's determined to face his fears and try again. When Chris wakes up the next morning with laryngitis and is ordered, by his doctor, to refrain from all talking and singing, Kenney's sure he's faking it. But Chris is a resourceful guy in more ways than one.

Meanwhile, Yola is worried she may have unintentionally offended Nicki Wooster (Belinda Metz,) the new president of Manacle Records, who has a prosthetic leg. Wanting to apologize, and 'get a leg up on the situation,' she only manages to make things worse.

Anson gets the brush-off from Bianca (Veronika Habal,) a lovely, powerfully built new waitress at Bimbo's. Later, Anson convinces Kenney and Roly to attend their friend C.J's bachelor party. Just as Kenney and Roly are trying to sneak out, the lights dim and two tall strippers emerge. To Anson's joy, one of them is Bianca. But he's not nearly so enthusiastic when he becomes a boy toy in their dance routine and starts to fear for his personal safety.

Believing his days are numbered, Chris feels obliged to go along when Uncle Matty weasels his way out of the nursing home and into his spare bedroom. But, once there, he makes a surprising recovery and starts to infiltrate every facet of Chris's life.

Yola is thrilled that her handsome new boyfriend Trevor (Michael Shanks) is so lacking in pretense despite being incredibly wealthy. So she's bewildered yet charmed when he believes her joke that she has made the knitted cashmere sweater she is wearing and then asks her to knit him one. Too smitten to see the folly of the situation, Yola agrees and secretly signs up for knitting lessons. But her promise to Trevor turns into a personal obsession as she tries to master the art of knitting without completely losing her mind.

Backstage, following a great show with guest star Paul Stanley of the rock group KISS, it's revealed that Chris has never thrown a party. A few days later, when news comes that Chris's latest album has gone platinum, he seizes the opportunity to reciprocate by throwing a big celebration party. Skeptical that he can pull it off, Yola offers to help. But Chris is still worried. Party costs are mounting. Worse still, Chris is convinced that no one will show up.

Meanwhile, as Yola begins dating her high school sweetheart Kyle (David Lovgren,) she's cautiously optimistic that this may be something more than the usual six week, doomed from the start, romance. When she's forced to find alternate supervision for her dog Jimi, Kyle pulls some strings to get him into the exclusive Greenbriar Canine Day Care. But Jimi's expulsion from doggie day care the very same day could have serious repercussions for Yola's blossoming relationship.

Chris is shocked to learn that one of his favorite childhood hangouts, a small amusement park, has been closed and may be torn down. On a nostalgic whim he buys it, renames it Isaakland, and makes plans to restore it to the family fun park of his youth. Though Yola, Kenney, Roly and Hershel are dubious, Anson is wildly excited by the idea including Chris's promise of a free pass on all the rides. But it's the old caretaker, Fletcher Furnell (Donnelly Rhodes,) who educates Chris about the harsh realities of running this beloved American tradition.

Yola is star struck to meet celebrated actor Robert Culp. When he asks her out on a date, Yola is flattered but leery of their age difference. However, Bob proves that his age is not an issue. In fact, it's Yola who struggles to keep up with Bob's numerous interests and irrepressible nature.

Seeing him perform with the band at Isaakland, a gang of 12 year-olds decide Anson is a cool guy and invite him to hang out with them. But when the kids confide that their idea of fun includes theivery and vandalism, Anson has some very grown-up decisions to make.

At the request of his mother, Dr. Dorothy Isaak, Chris agrees to organize a charity benefit concert at Bimbo's. The night of the event, during a torrential rain storm, he shares the stage with an amazing line-up of talent – among them Green Day, The Goo Goo Dolls, Art Alexakis, Trisha Yearwood, Stephan Jenkins, Gavin Rossdale, comedian Kathy Griffin, and, possibly, Tina Turner. Throughout the soggy, star-studded evening, Chris catches glimpses of a gorgeous naval officer whose gaze keeps eluding him.

Yola has a reputation for canceling personal plans at the last minute. SO she hurries to take care of some final details for the charity concert before leaving on a long-awaited vacation to Hawaii with friends. But her obsessive need to organize and manage every last detail of Chris' professional life ultimately causes her to miss the plane. Yola must finally admit that she has trouble letting go of her work.

Meanwhile, Anson is fervently necking with his on-and-off girlfriend Tanya (Luciana Carro,) in a broom closet at Bimbo's when she confides to him that she's being harassed by Gordon (Michael D. Bennett,) a guy she used to date. Anson boldly gives her his best advice on how to handle the situation, and ends up in the parking lot after the concert, dealing with Gordon, fist to face.
