Kevin finds out that "office clown" Harry "Dead Wood" Detweiler (Rick Hurst) beat his father out of a promotion and is now NORCOM Vice-President while boating with his daughter Mimi (Soleil Moon Frye). In the company softball game, Jack gets knocked out when Kevin accidentally hits a ball at him, but he is the one apologizing for not telling his son about the promotion.

At the end of the day, he meets Winnie at the local pizza parlor. The hold each other as Madeline walks past and sees them, then walks to the jukebox, with a distressed look on her face.

Grandpa Arnold suddenly drops by and shanghaies the family to a funeral for his cousin Rose: a relative the younger Arnolds had never met and know very little about. At the wake, Kevin and Wayne meet their extended family; both are delighted when Jack's wealthy cousin Lloyd gives the boys $20 to split. In the heat of an argument over holding the money, Kevin accidentally drops it into Aunt Rose's open casket. By the time he and Wayne concoct a plan to retrieve their cash, the casket is sealed shut and taken away for the funeral. En route to Rose's graveside service, Grandpa becomes (uncharacteristically) enraged by the brothers' bickering over the money. He stops the car and orders both boys out, hollering that anybody who can't take a funeral seriously doesn't belong there at all; Wayne and Kevin can either walk home or two miles to the cemetery, their choice. Wayne (characteristically) sneers that it was Grandpa who dragged them out to this "stupid" funeral in the first place, while Kevin remarks (to himself) how people react differently to death. Both brothers finally reach the graveside service on foot, just in time for Grandpa's eulogy on how Rose always held family - extended and otherwise - in the utmost regard...and how, even in death, she remains part of their heritage.
