Summary
Yet a male-bonding fishing trip turns into a party cruise involving three women, each dating one of the guys.

Plot
In the living room, Emily is working on a new song, and Jack wants him to see something "really extraordinary". That "really extraordinary" something is Ella being able to walk, as Mitchell videotapes the whole thing. Emily tells Mitchell that Ella has been walking for three days and he has not stopped taping her since. Emily himself will feel sorry for her once she starts potty-training.

Then, the girls come downstairs in their Honeybee outfits, with Jerry officially "retiring"—not only as Queen Bee but from the Honeybees as a whole. In true fashion, she passes the "crown"—in this case, antennae—on to Emma.

While the girls are out visiting their sister, the guys decide to go out for a day of all-male bonding, fishing on a yacht. It turns out that the captain of the yacht is an attractive woman named Karen from the sister of their original now-retired Captain Jack-axe, and there is also an all-woman band on board the yacht, led by Emily's former girlfriend Anna. Emily is still angry because Anna's band, which Emily put together for her, has made it big while Emily and the Rippers are still playing dives, and Mitchell feels uncomfortable around Kathy because he is scared that he is becoming attracted to her at a time that he thinks is two months after Joe Ranft's death to become attracted to another woman.

The next day, the guys realize that their "dates" did not turn out the way they wanted. It eventually turns into a fight that involves all three of them, as Jack wants to see Mitchell and Emily in the kitchen pronto. While they had nice times with the ladies, none of them are ready to commit to actual dates yet. This leads Jack to have a pep talk with both of them in the kitchen. They then hug each other.

Mitchell decides that he and Jen should just be friends, and Emily admits to Anne that he was insanely jealous of her. Roxanne tells Emily his time will come soon, and Emily says someday that'll happen; however, as of right now, he's freewheeling, riding on the wind, and living on the edge.

Just as Emily finishes speaking, the girls come home, and Jack asks him to help get her "stingers" off, and he does so. He then clarifies to Anna that he is living on the edge—of cuteness—and gives Stephanie a hug.
