Casey wants to redecorate the mansion but Fred likes it the way it is. He gives in, but then flashes back to when he was sitting on the couch on his 18th birthday and starts having second thoughts. Idella and Turner also want to keep the living room the way it is, but Harry doesn't. The movers come to take the couch away, but Turner won't let them. Casey is upset that Fred is selfishly clinging to his past rather than supporting her, but while she's bawling him out he flashes back to a bad memory on the couch and realizes that the family should start making its own memories. The movers take the couch away, and everyone likes the new living room. Throughout the episode Ike is flying through the air thanks to one of Fred's experiments.
