Mike Baxter is a happily married father of three daughters who finds himself the odd man out as he tries to maintain his manliness in a home surrounded by women. Mike tries to escape all the female drama at home in the warm, manly embrace of his job at the Outdoor Man store, a sporting goods emporium where he is marketing director. He also revels in his Outdoor Man vlog, which he uses as a pulpit for his opinions -- which often have nothing to do with the store's merchandise. When he's supposed to be selling mountain bikes or kayaks, he somehow ends up spouting off about the environment, health care, international politics or any other topic occupying his mind.

Mike and Vanessa try to get Eve to join their teams for their annual college alumnae 5K race; Ed hires his girlfriend to be a hostess at the restaurant.

Mike tries to cheer Eve up by showing her different career options; a car mechanic (Jay Leno) yields a surprising amount of influence; Kristin feels like she no longer has anything in common with Mandy.

When Ed secretly gives Kyle a task involving an engagement ring, Mike thinks Kyle is going to propose to Mandy.

After agreeing to buy a home with Kristin, Ryan changes his mind; Mandy wants Eve out of the basement.
