Jessica is surprised when Deidre agrees to recommend her for an open position as dean at her kids' private school. However, Jessica is soon disappointed when she learns she was a diversity hire and the position has no real authority. With help from Louis, an undeterred Jessica finds a way to make herself heard at the school. Meanwhile, Evan is recruited for the high school mathlete team and is excited to hang with his brothers, only to find out that Eddie and Emery don't really like to hang together at school.
Needing only a spelling bee trophy to complete his academic "triathlon", Evan accepts Eddie's help when he assures him he can get classmate and former bee champion Simryn to coach him. Evan soon learns Eddie has an ulterior motive: helping Jessica's favorite child to gain favor when his expected low SAT scores arrive. However, to Eddie's shock, he scores very well on the SATs. Meanwhile, Jessica pressures Emery to get a job, but to her dismay, he gets hired as a shirtless model for a mall clothing store.
Right after Jessica gives Honey stern advice on how to handle her clingy daughter Maria, Evan starts clinging to Jessica following a breakup with his girlfriend. Elsewhere, Emery wants to continue to accompany Eddie and Louis as they review various burger restaurants, despite deciding to become a vegan.
When the trusty family minivan takes a turn for the worse, Jessica and Louis each process the loss in their own way. Meanwhile, Eddie convinces his brothers to take a road trip with him to find their Washington, D.C. time capsule.
In the future, Louis and Jessica are shown attending a Harvard graduation. In the present, Eddie gets a letter from Harvard stating he will be visited by an alum, which turns out to be Andy Richter who is filling in for Harvard alum Conan O'Brien. After interviewing Eddie while Jessica constantly butts in, Richter says it's unlikely that a child of such a "helicopter parent" will do well at Harvard. Jessica blames herself for Eddie not getting into Harvard, but Eddie reveals that he really wants to attend culinary school. Meanwhile, Evan and Emery have a disagreement when Evan is writing his memoirs and steals some of Emery's stories as his own. In the future again, it's revealed that the Harvard graduation is Evan's in 2008, with Louis, Jessica, Eddie, Emery and Grandma Jenny all attending the ceremony.
