Tim is set in his morning routine and Jill wants him to be a bit more flexible. Each dreams about what life will be like for them when they are seniors, each just as disturbing.

Jill and her sisters get together to plan on their parents' 50th wedding anniversary, but there's one problem; they can't stop bickering. After an unproductive first day, Jill talks to Tim and is telling him that her sisters' bickering is driving her nuts and she's tired of always having to be the sensible one. Tim tells her that she needs to lay down the law to put a stop to it. The next morning, Jill tries to have a truce declared between her and her sisters, but when they try to work on the party, they cannot agree on anything and the bickering continues. Jill says she had enough of this and storms out of the house. Her sisters shocked that she is acting this way, then Tim says the same thing to them but in a more abrasive way. After being away from the house Jill learns that she needs to say how she feels and in the end, her parents' anniversary party plans fall into place.
