Don discovers he's jeopardized the lives of the raccoons by releasing them into the wild. Dad's obsession with building a cabin in the woods consumes the entire family.

Don moves out, Owen is determined to spend a night at his cabin much to Cynthia's dismay. And it's finally cereal pitch day, pitting Cynthia against rival Veronica.
Don considers therapy as Rita proposes a theory that raccoons are communicating on new levels. Meanwhile Mom, ready for the release of her latest cereal, is concerned about Dad's new obsession.
Mom's cereal hitting the shelves proves too much excitement for Shellers which means Bryce's romantic getaway plans may be shelved too. Dad is forced to face the fact that the Everlys are trouble.
As one door closes for Mom and her cereal, a new one opens when Shellers makes a surprising online discovery. Dad and Manny arrange an exchange with Dallas and the Everlys hoping to settle things.
