Mike invites the Lorenzos and Lionel to the Bunkers' house to play a board game in which players are given cards with penetrating questions encouraging them to be open and honest about their feelings. Archie skedaddles to Kelsey's bar, thinking the game sounds "[[AllIssuesArePoliticalIssues left-wing]]."
At first the game seems to be going smoothly enough, with Edith and Frank being given fun but frivolous questions, and answering accordingly. After that, however, things start going downhill, as the people's answers devolve into criticisms of Mike, which he becomes increasingly agitated about. Lionel is asked to tell someone in the group why he finds it hard to be honest with that person, and he uses the occasion to express his frustration at Mike's racially patronizing attitude toward him. Gloria's card asks her to give advice to the person in the group closest to her, and Mike starts to throw a fit when she chooses her mother over him. Mike is given a card asking him why he's mature, and he answers it's because he's tolerant of other people's opinions; both the question and his answer lead Gloria to laugh at him, implying she thinks he's both immature and intolerant. Things come to a head on Edith's next turn when her card leads her to tell Mike she thinks he's been "stuck-up lately" in the way he makes fun of Archie, and that "If you was really smarter than Archie, you'd be smart enough not to let him see that you're smarter than him." Believing Edith to be essentially calling him stupid, Mike flips over the board and storms out of the room.
Gloria argues with him in their room for a few minutes, and he finally rejoins the group, telling them he's ready to apologize. But it soon becomes apparent he barely thinks he did anything wrong and blames the others for doing a pile-on against him. The others are willing to let it go, too tired to argue with him anymore, but he insists on trying to get them to see his point of view. He asks Lionel to tell someone in the group something he's never said before. Lionel tells Edith how scared he was when his family first moved in, being the first black people in the neighborhood, and how much he appreciates how warm and welcoming she's always been toward them. Outraged that Lionel didn't direct any criticisms at her like he had at him, he begins to lose his temper again, and it soon comes out that he's taking out his frustrations on them because of his ongoing conflict with Archie, including his being indebted to a man he views as his intellectual inferior who's always been cold and unfriendly toward him. In despair, he runs off into the kitchen.

This time it's Edith who goes to pacify him. She tells him the reason Archie is always rude to him is because Archie is jealous of him, seeing a young man going to college with his life ahead of him, whereas he had to quit school to support his family and is now permanently stuck in a menial job. She leaves Mike to think over what she said. At that moment Archie returns, and Archie is baffled when Mike immediately hugs him.

* BerserkButton: While Mike's anger simmers for several minutes as his friends and family keep pointing out his faults, what finally causes him to explode in a tantrum is Edith's comment "If you was really smarter than Archie, you'd be smart enough not to let him see that you're smarter than him," followed by Gloria's response "Can't you believe the fact that she is right?" Edith's criticism is that Mike arrogantly flaunts his intellect in order to put Archie down, but Mike misconstrues her comment as suggesting he's dumber than Archie and therefore an idiot.

Edith's criticism is that Mike arrogantly flaunts his intellect in order to put Archie down, down (she's using the word ''smart'' ironically, to suggest Mike is showing poor judgment and character when he behaves this way, not that he's unintelligent per se), but Mike misconstrues her comment as suggesting he's dumber than Archie and therefore an idiot.

* ManChild: Mike's behavior during the episode leans into this territory, especially when he flips the board over and spills the pieces everywhere. Lampshaded by Gloria when she starts tittering after Mike is given a card asking him to explain why he's mature.
