Plot

After Doug learned that his wife Carrie had not given up an apartment in Manhattan as promised, though he quit his job as an IPS driver for a job as a salesman, whom he asked for which he did, he was very angry. Doug does not want to attend the wedding of his father Arthur to Ava St Clair (Lainie Kazan), which takes place in Poughkeepsie. However, his best friend, Deacon Palmer, took him there.

Ava St Clair reveals to Carrie that after several failed marriages, she is now just marrying a gay man. Ava then learns that Arthur is not gay and immediately leaves the ceremony, without telling Arthur. Carrie tried to comfort Arthur by telling her, "She wants a friend." Arthur refused to announce that the marriage was inactive, and suggested to Veronica Olchin, Spence's mother (Anne Meara) in the men's room. He initially refused, but later accepted. Carrie and Spence were both shocked and opposed to the decision. The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Feldman (Josh Cooke), because the original bride Ava was a Jew, though Arthur and Veronica were not Jews. The wedding ended with Arthur smashing the glass with his feet, while everyone cheered, "Mazel tov!".

Soon after, Carrie was informed that the baby she and Doug wanted the adoption had been waiting for them in Beijing. However, Doug does not want to have a baby with him anymore because of his betrayal of the apartment. A very pregnant Holly (Nicole Sullivan) also appeared at the wedding, just like Heffernans' neighbor Lou Ferrigno. At this point, he also reveals that Holly's husband recently left her. When Lou tried to entertain everyone with "Exciting Days", he was greeted by a very unhappy expression.

Doug, who sat outside behind the building where the ceremony took place, made an offer for Spence to be his new roommate, because he divorced Carrie, but then pulled back the offer when Holly told her story. Very drunk, he challenged each of them to a wrestling match, but fell asleep while fighting with Holly. When Arthur finds out that Doug will not toast as his best man, he throws a role to Spence, who turns him on, and finally, Deacon is forced to make toast, even though Deacon begs that he does not know him well.

Spence is trying to get back with Doug's cousin Danny, because Arthur will be living with his wife, Veronica, now. She learns, however, that Danny has Sandy's new girlfriend (Jillian Bach) who lives with her.

Holly and Spence started talking and realized that they both had no place to live, so they decided to get the apartment together. Danny returns without Sandy, and points out that Spence and he moved back together. Spence accepted, leaving Holly alone without a place to live.

Meanwhile, Kelly shows Carrie that she should not feel so guilty about keeping the apartment, because Doug let Carrie down many times in the past. Carrie was sure and told Doug to leave.

The two decide that they want to get a Chinese baby for themselves and get on the same plane, even though Carrie leaves the house first, and Doug has to find his passport, which Deacon found on the vegetable shelf. Holly meets Rabbi Feldman and they succeed. Holly will move with her and move to Judaism. Doug then surprises Carrie on the plane, by greeting him rudely "Hello!" and showed her passport with victory. He also added that "Deacon's BLT is so delicious, like my revenge."

They use long flights to solve their problems and stay together. After getting a Ming-Mei baby from an adoption agency, Carrie finds out that she is pregnant. He is afraid of upcoming changes, but Doug is optimistic that they will be able to cope together.

This episode quickly progressed one year and showed Doug and Carrie with their two small children in their living room. Arthur came with a suitcase, announcing that his marriage "did not work."

The episode ended with a three-minute montage scene from the nine season event for A Million Billion song "Milk & Honey". When the song is over, the series ends with a final screen shot: " thank you for the ride... ".
