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.

Dave and Gemma occasionally see a couples therapist to keep their marriage strong; after learning about this, Tina decides that she and Calvin should do the same.

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.

Gemma holds a fundraiser for a new school pool; Tina and the other teachers are being overworked; Dave convinces Calvin to finally commit to doing physical therapy for his knee.
