Dave heads outside when he hears honking in the driveway. Turns out it’s Hillary’s date. Dave tells the guy it’s not a drive-thru and he’s not sending Hillary out like she’s a Big Mac. So the kid knocks on the door like a proper suitor and Dave opens the door then shuts it in his face. After discovering Dave’s kicked out her date, Hillary complains that he never likes anyone she brings home. Then she tells him to pick her next date.
Vicky comes inside in a rage because the next-door neighbors have pulled her English Princess Diana rosebush out of the ground. Dave doesn’t seem to comprehend the gravity of the situation and is clearly not going to do anything about it… until Vicky whispers something in his ear. Now that there’s something in it for him, he heads next door.
Dave talks to Kenny’s father, Achmed, who tells him that he pulled out the rosebush because his wife wants to put in another fountain. Dave doesn’t get the logic, so Achmed explains that he actually pulled out his rosebush because it was on his property. Dave begs to differ, but Achmed explains that he had a land survey done by the county assessor’s office and that was the official finding.
Dave walks into Mike’s room and discovers him doing his homework in the nude. He complains to Vicky, who thinks it’s great that Mike’s so comfortable in his skin. Then she asks if Dave gave their neighbors hell for tearing out her prized roses. Uh, not exactly. Vicky can’t believe Dave believed Achmed’s story about the land survey. There’s something about that guy she doesn’t trust.
Hillary answers the door and discovers that her date, Jay, is ready for their rendezvous. Uh, we don’t have a date. Dave comes in and tells Hillary that uh, actually she does. Then he reminds her that she told him to pick her next date so he did. He met Jay at the high school shooting hoops and there’s no weakness in his game. Hillary thinks his weakness is that he’s loud, obnoxious and thinks he’s funny even though he’s not. Hey, he’s a lot like Dave! Hillary tells Jay she has other plans tonight; then Dave tells Jay that Hillary’s is going to be free Saturday night or she’ll never be free again.
Vicky comes home from the county assessor’s office where she’s discovered that there was no survey done on their property. Achmed lied. Dave tells her he’s going next door to give Achmed a piece of his mind.
Dave finds Achmed in the backyard and calls him a liar. Achmed admits to not having a survey done but tells Dave that he’s a loudmouth and none of the neighbors like him because he puts un-recyclable materials in the recycler and calls people liars! Oh yeah?! And so it goes until both men tell the other they’ll be hearing from their lawyers.
Back home, Dave tells Larry he can’t be friends with Kenny anymore. No fraternizing with the enemy. Fine, he’ll just sit all alone in the dark doing nothing. Vicky thinks it’s gone too far. She’s going to go next door and apologize. Dave tells her no, now it’s time to back him up. What’s in it for her? Dave whispers in Vicky’s ear. Apparently he’s been saving a few tricks for a rainy day.
Dave stops by Larry’s room to thank him for supporting him on the Kenny ban, but then notices two half-eaten sandwiches and demands that Kenny come out of the closet. Larry tells Dave that his friendship with Kenny is more important to him than some stupid rosebush.
Meanwhile, Hillary and Jay are on the porch making out. When Dave sees Jay’s hand go up Hillary’s shirt, he runs outside and kicks Jay out. That was easy. Hillary thought she was going to have to take her top off to get that reaction.
Larry and Kenny are in their respective backyards talking about how ridiculous their respective dads are being, and all the horrible things they’re saying about the other… when suddenly their competitive instincts kick in and they start yelling at each other.
Larry comes in and tells his parents that he’s through with Kenny. Vicky’s had it. It’s time for a truce. Dave’s more interested in putting a ten foot cement wall around their property. However, once he discovers he’s looking at around ten grand to do it, he decides to apologize instead.
Mike’s still walking around naked, so Dave decides to free himself from the confines of clothing as well. When Mike sees his dad lounging on the couch nude, he vows to put on clothes and feel uncomfortable in his skin and ashamed of his body forever more. Dave’s job is done.
