When Ray's upper class in-laws come for a visit, he begs his parents to be nice to them. Ray admits to his parents that he doesn't always see eye-to-eye with Debra's folks but manages to fake it, and he'd like his parents to do the same when they all go out and try to have a family dinner.

Ray gets tired of being treated like a kid at his father's poker game, so he decides to ignore his father's advice and ends up losing all his money.

When Ray's free time goes to coaching Nemo's basketball team in preparation for the Pizza League championships, he is reminded by Debra that their kids are growing up fast and he's missing precious time with them.
