The episode begins with Ben asking Jonathan why he's wearing sunglasses in the house. Jonathan replies that they're prescription glasses, and that he thinks he looks cool. Jonathan then asks Ben if he's seen his cell phone, but Ben won't help him find it. He asks Ben why he's being so difficult, and discovers that Ben has been drinking extra thick hot cocoa.
Jonathan calls the office and tells Laura that he's running late, as he had to go and pick up his regular glasses. He warns Laura that when she sees him, it will be with glasses, and that she should prepare herself.
Later in the day, Jonathan asks Laura to come into his office, and that he needs her help, but she tells him that it isn't a good time, and shuts him off. When Laura does come in, Jonathan asks her to hold up an eye chart that Jonathan has made to test himself.
At the bar, Jonathan asks Julie if she could find herself attracted to a bald guy with glasses. Upon showing her his new glasses, Julie bursts out laughing. Stanley tells Jonathan that his eyes may not be getting worse due to age, and that maybe there's some other problem.
Back at the apartment, Jonathan tells Ben that he's decided not to wear glasses, since he doesn't need them, and doesn't look good in them. He goes to get a chair to sit down, only to discover that Ben's moved the chairs around the apartment, and put twenty watt light bulbs in the sockets to make it harder to see. The two then have a conversation about getting older, and the need to find humor in aging.
