Stanford student Stephanie Fleming invites her boyfriend Laird Mayhew over to "Netflix and chill". Shortly after, back home in Grand Rapids, Stephanie's dad Ned is celebrating his 55th birthday with friends and family at an Applebee's restaurant. During a slideshow presentation in his honor, Stephanie drops in via webcam to congratulate, when suddenly her boyfriend walks in on her and flashes the camera.

Ned Fleming is the CEO of a printing company that has been having a rough year. The company is in debt and is unable to close deals as their customers are increasingly having their printing done in China or switching to online ads. Ned talks to his coworker Lou Dunne about the incident from the previous night. Ned tells Lou that Stephanie wants the rest of the family to meet Laird, even though Stephanie never even mentioned having a boyfriend up until that night.
