Don Ludke, the father of Kim and Christine, surprises the family with an unexpected visit. Greg feels alienated since Don has never approved of him, and that sentiment remains unchanged. After failing to win Don's favor, Christine reveals that her father disapproves of Greg because he believes he lacks practical skills. When Don criticizes Greg's plan to buy a pre-built jungle gym, Greg decides to construct one himself to impress him. However, his efforts backfire when the structure collapses on him.
