Chet takes Frank out on a jet-plane ride just as he and his neighbors are about to work on making a new room in his house. Phillip gets jealous of Bill's crush on Bridgette.
Tropes:
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Anthony's Establishing Character Moment is him annoying Phillip by saying he got an orange.
- A Birthday, Not a Break: The episode takes place on Kevin's 15th birthday. Frank gives him a crowbar as a "present" and puts him to work ripping the siding off of the house for the nursery Frank and Chet are planning to build. Meanwhile, the rest of the neighborhood men are just sitting around drinking beer while Kevin does all the work.
- Bilingual Bonus: Chet brags about Nguyen-Nguyen saying his name in her sleep. In Vietnamese, "chết" is used as a kind of all-purpose swear word, but literally means "die!"
- Call-Back: Frank recalls the episode The Trough where the new owner of Mohican Airways, Brandy Dunbarton (wife of Roger Dunbarton), took Bill to the bathroom while at the baseball stadium.
- Manipulative Bastard: This episode marks the first time Frank gets a taste of Chet's true personality, which stirs the first doubts he has about Chet. During the flight in the fighter-jet. Chet suggests that he and Frank pick up women at the Officers' Club. Frank, who is as devoted to Sue as ever, tries to politely refuse, which causes Chet to accuse Frank of thinking he's better than Chet. The scene culminates with Chet pretending that the plane has lost control and is going to crash before pulling back at the last minute. When they reach the ground, Chet is smiling politely, but with a smirk that seems meant to tell Frank not to cross him. Frank is clearly shaken by the incident.
- Taking the Heat: Bill does this for Philip.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: One of many in the series, this one happens when Frank becomes sick during Chet's joke that the plane is going down. Chet jokes that Frank "owes him a new windshield."
