The Pritchett families barbecue, normally held in August in Virginia, is being held in Boston in November. Joy seems to get very tired, every time her pending wedding to Jack is mentioned. Leonard has a part-time job delivering meals to shut-ins and his first stop won't let him go. Wyleen is struck on the head by a flying pork chop that brings them to the hospital. Tasha meets the "Dr. Feelgood" of her dreams. Joy passes out and is brought to the hospital. Leonard brings his shut-in to the hospital. After everyone is attended to, the barbecue can continue.
