When Dave Johnson and his family arrive from Michigan, they're unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their previous small town. However, their opinionated next-door neighbor Calvin Butler is wary of the newcomers, certain that they'll disrupt the culture on the block. Dave realizes that fitting in with the new community is more complex than he had expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, there's an excellent chance of making the new neighborhood a great place to live.

Gemma and Dave are adjusting to Grover growing up and becoming a teenager; Marty and Calvin are struggling with different management styles at work; one of Marty's new employees, Courtney, might become something more.

Gemma and Tina are at odds with one another and Dave and Calvin try to bring them back together; Marty is sick and not handling it well, so Malcolm fills in for him and goes to a baby class with Courtney.

When Calvin discovers his friend Lorenzo is harboring a secret, he struggles with whether to share the information with Tina; Dave becomes concerned about Gemma's growing closeness to a coach at her school.

Calvin and Malcolm butt heads on coaching styles as Malcolm's little league team approaches its first game of the season; Tina tries to win over a food critic she inadvertently offended before he reviews her cupcakes.
