Peter gets a check in the mail from the sale of his mother's home and he remembers that all of his old porn is still in there. When he returns to retrieve his stash, he finds a "to Peter from Peter" tape and realizes that his life has amounted to nothing. Reeling from his own failures, Peter then attempts to fix Chris before it's too late, and forces his son to spend time with Brian.

Peter finds a letter from his mother's estate and he decides to return to retrieve his teenage porn stash after the house is sold with the help of the guys. However, they meet the new owner of the home who invites them to get it out before his kids find it. After getting it home, the enjoyment is short lived and he finds a video note to himself from his teenage years when he was young and optimistic and he realizes that he never became the success that he'd thought he'd be. While watching, Chris enters and Peter sees himself mirrored in Chris and decides to keep him from becoming just like him.

He starts his training by dressing him flashy while trying to deny wanting attention, then teaches him to high step around while wearing giant hats. Brian points out that Chris needs to find his own path so Peter decides to have Chris follow and observe him as the most worldly person they know. Brian exposes him to things like Shakespeare in the Park and art but Chris naturally follows lowbrow pursuits. Eventually the hard work begins to rub off and Chris becomes refined, brushing off Peter's offer to have some old-fashioned fun.
