Tim’s (Tim Allen) plans for a big rowdy Super Bowl party are thrown for a loop when Jill (Patricia Richardson) comes down with the flu and begs him not to have his friends over. Tim, who wasn’t paying attention during the “in sickness and in health” portion of his wedding vows, tries to have it both ways – coaching the guys to watch the game quietly downstairs while half-assedly caring for Jill upstairs. When Jill finally loses her patience, Wilson (Earl Hindman) helps Tim realize that he needs to be more nurturing, and he attempts to make things right by brewing Jill some of Wilson’s special anti-nausea bee tea.

When Tim figures out what’s going on, Wilson (Earl Hindman) helps him to realize that he doesn’t need to push Brad so hard to succeed, and he gives Brad permission to quit the paper route to focus on school.

Jill Taylor (Patricia Richardson) is hard at work producing the fourth grade Christmas pageant – and she’s getting absolutely no help from the boys, who have a hockey game, or Tim (Tim Allen), who runs out the door to a party at the auto body shop. When she moves Tim’s hot rod out of the garage so she can paint sets for the pageant, she forgets to put a cover over it – and as a result, the car gets filled with snow when a freak blizzard hits. When Tim finds the damage to the car, he’s furious at Jill, who refuses to apologize because Tim does this sort of thing to her all the time and she’s always understanding. Tim and Al (Richard Karn) work around the clock to try and restore the car before an upcoming photoshoot for a hot rod magazine, while Jill learns from Wilson (Earl Hindman) that she just screwed up and needs to say sorry. When Tim and Al fall asleep on the couch, Jill finishes restoring the car to peak condition – and tells Tim she’s sorry she screwed up.
