Plot
Emily, Joey, Matt, and Rachel play Boggle in Mitchell's dining room. When Emily easily beats her opponents, Rachel suggests she sign up for the Boggle tournament at the Cluck club. Meanwhile, Mitchell, Zaltman, Mike, and Jordan are mesmerized when a commercial announces the Ninth Annual Aniville Mower Expo. Emily enters the Cluck club competition and, after easily breezing past the other players, wins a coveted trophy. But to Emily, the biggest honor is getting to represent Mary in the state Boggle championships. Mitchell agrees to act as his wife's coach after he learns it takes place in Aniville the very same weekend as the Mower Expo. He tells his friends that the Boggle tournament will keep Emily busy while they sneak off for some real fun.

Emily and Mitchell say goodbye to Jack and Matt and head off for Aniville. Despite their best intentions, and their promise not to throw any parties, Jack and Matt accidentally ruin the family coffee table, drip varnish on the carpet, and scorch a section of wall. Meanwhile, Emily is introduced to Christy Clove, Boggle champion of Aniville for seven non-consecutive years. Christy easily intimidates Emily by criticizing a jacket given to her by the Aback Boggle Boosters. Shortly before the tournament begins, Mitchell tells his wife about the Mower Expo. Emily makes an impassioned plea for Mitchell not to run off in her hour of need. He agrees to stay and act as her coach. When the tournament begins, Mitchell gets off to a shaky start, and Christy Clove takes a commanding lead, when there ready, Mitchell tells the rules, while Jack record him, when Mitchell said "Jack, can you please put that camera down?".

Emily is ranked 255 out of 256... one step ahead of a Boggle-playing chicken. But she valiantly continues to play. Meanwhile, Mitchell's buddies show up at the tournament. At first, Mitchell chooses to help coach his wife. But some sharp words from Zaltman and the others change his mind, and the men head for the Mower Expo. Slowly but surely, Emily regains her confidence and rises through the ranks until she makes it into the finals. She is horrified, however, when she realizes her opponent is none other than a laughing Christy Clove. Mitchell realizes he cannot enjoy himself at the expo knowing his wife needs him. He races back to the Boggle tournament just in time to give his wife the pencil she needs. Brimming with confidence, Mitchell beats Christy and is declared the new Texas State Boggle Champion. The closing scene has Mitchell and Emily kissing.

In a closing credits scene, we see that Jack and Matt had hired several people to clean up the damage they caused. In the middle of all this, Michell and Emily enter the house, startling Jack, Matt and the workers. Mistaking it for a party and believing that Jack and Matt had broken their promise, Mitchell dismisses the workers, thinking that they're some of Jack and Matt's friends; and Emily grounds both Jack and Matt for their actions.
