Dismayed at the haphazard state of the warehouse's filing system, Willie hires Alan as office manager at Jase's suggestion. However, the changes that Alan implements around the workroom quickly drive the guys crazy and make Jase want to eat his words. An alarm malfunction at Willie and Korie's house prompts the Robertson women and girls to take a self-defense class, with John Luke as the instructor's assistant/victim.
The family celebrates Godwin's birthday with a Renaissance fair, but it takes a strange turn with the guys' choice of costumes. A medieval tournament between Alan, Jase, Willie, and Sadie goes awry in every event and produces a surprise winner. When Jep and Jessica visit a falconry expert to borrow one of his birds for the party, Jep gets carried away posing with them.
The family flies two wounded Marines, Mark and Christian, in from Walter Reed Medical Center to honor their service, planning a fishing trip and a Color Run. After the guys show them around the warehouse, Mark has to go to the hospital, but Christian goes fishing with them and participates in the Color Run. Author and former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell addresses the crowd at the start of the run, then visits Mark in the hospital afterward.
When Miss Kay starts thinking about opening a bakery to sell her pies, she butts heads with Alan over who should run it. His daughter Alex has to prove that she can handle Miss Kay's recipes, assuming she can decipher them first, and Phil ends up having to deliver the verdict in the final taste test. After the guys take a long lunch break at Godwin's favorite diner in Vicksburg, Mississippi, he tackles the owner's hot dog eating challenge in order to win a free T-shirt.
Reed, pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter, comes home from Nashville for an album release party. Though his long hair, tattoos, and broken-down 1960s-era van catch Jase and Missy by surprise, they and the rest of the family turn out to show their support. Willie brings in professional wrestler Kurt Angle to help toughen River up, but Jep's hero worship and Willie's competitive streak get the better of them both on the wrestling mat.
The brothers' wives challenge them to a frog hunt, with a night of dancing on the line if the wives catch more. Even though they secretly bring in Phil for help, the hunt proves tougher than expected for both teams as night falls. As John Luke and Mary Kate start packing (and overpacking) for college, they get a flood of conflicting advice from Si and Miss Kay over what to take and leave at home.
Willie organizes a road trip to take John Luke and Mary Kate to Liberty University for their first semester. Korie, Sadie, Jase, Missy, and Si come along for the ride. During a visit with Willie's friend Colt Ford in Nashville, Tennessee, Si drives the family crazy with his dreams of being a rock star. A housing assignment mix-up leaves John Luke and Mary Kate without a place to stay until their house is ready, so Willie leaves the Duck Commander RV with them. As the family flies home, they stop in Nashville again so Si can indulge his performing fantasy onstage with Colt. To celebrate River's seventh birthday, Jep and Jessica help him film and star in a superhero movie. Phil, Miss Kay, Martin, and Godwin end up being dragged into Jep's grandiose artistic vision, which slowly deteriorates into egotism and utter chaos.
Plans to celebrate Willie and Korie's 25th wedding anniversary keep going off the rails at every turn. Willie gets terrible gift ideas from his brothers, Korie eavesdrops on the rest of the family's party planning, and both of them realize that they have only been married for 24 years. After Jase gets a ticket for illegally parking his truck on the side of the road, Si comes up with a bizarre strategy to help him fight it in court that works even worse than expected.
Note: This episode introduces Willie and Korie's newly adopted son Rowdy.
Willie is less than thrilled after a chainsaw artist delivers a mystery statue that turns out to be of Willie himself, with a huge pot belly. The rest of the guys, though, get as many laughs out of it as they can and eventually catch Korie giving it a late-night trim. Jep's hunt for his old aquarium leads him to Miss Kay's overstuffed storage shed and results in a family intervention concerning her hoarding tendencies.
Missy, Reed, and Mia are in New York City, New York so Reed can propose to his girlfriend Brighton in Central Park, ignoring Jase's unorthodox suggestions for how to pop the question. The guys reflect on their own less-than-amazing proposals at the warehouse, and Si invites himself to pitch a beard camouflage device to Sadie's business class. Jase surprises Reed and Brighton by throwing a party for the whole family and re-proposing to Missy to celebrate 25 years of marriage.
When the president of Jase and Missy's homeowners' association asks Jase to get rid of a wild beaver running loose in the neighborhood, he brings in Mia for backup. The hunt succeeds, and Jase leverages favors out of the president in exchange for not leaving the carcass on his porch. Lil' Will tests Willie and Si to see which one is better qualified to teach him to drive - first on the road, then in an obstacle-filled go kart race - and eventually decides to get help from John Luke instead.
Jase and Jep set up a shooting competition to decide which of them should get their grandfather's rifle. After Jase wins one round with his shotgun and Jep wins another with his powerful long-range rifle, they use a cowboy action shooting showdown to break the tie. Rebecca is nervous about taking her fiance John Reed to meet her family in Taiwan, so Willie and Korie offer to let them practice engagement customs at home.
Willie and Korie get a surprise when they find Si working part-time as a bagger at the local grocery store. After his poor performance gets him fired, the guys arrange a bagging competition to help him win his job back. A chipped tooth stirs up Willie's long-standing fear of visiting the dentist; he tries to keep it a secret from Korie, but she finds out and teams up with Bella to get him to go.
A huge rainstorm and flooded roads strand Willie and most of the adults at Phil and Miss Kay's house, where they pass time during a power outage by reminiscing about their childhood. As Jessica and Sadie take charge of babysitting the younger children, Jessica finds herself wrangling Jep's chickens from their coop into the house. The guys hurry to protect the warehouse inventory from leaks in the roof, then raid Willie's office safe for food and have fun goofing off until he catches them in the act.
Willie drives Miss Kay to a bingo tournament and is surprised at the intensity of the players - including Si, who is supposed to be at work. After being heckled as a caller and seeing Si win $2,000, he joins the game only to embarrass himself and Miss Kay with his boisterous ineptitude. In the wake of the previous episode's storm, Jase and Jep take the children to play football in a muddy field, with Willie, Korie, and Sadie cheerfully joining the game for the second half.
As Sadie and Cole prepare to graduate from high school, Willie takes Sadie on a tour of the University of Louisiana at Monroe, hoping to persuade her to attend business school at his alma mater. She is more interested in the drama program, though, and she ropes Willie and Si into a highly unorthodox read-through from King Lear during an acting class. When John Luke and Mary Kate come home for a surprise visit, Phil, Jase, and Jep take them squirrel hunting, but Mary Kate quickly learns that she would much rather eat the game than clean it.
A debate over whether Miss Kay or Missy makes better cornbread turns into a taste-test challenge between their recipes and that of Alan's wife Lisa. Willie, Jase, and Alan judge the entries, only to end up in a three-way tie and spark a new cook-off among the Robertson wives - with Mountain Man as the judge and Korie throwing in a twist of her own. The guys tell Si about deer antler supplements that can give him more energy, but their prank to make him think he is getting stronger backfires after he overhears it and turns the tables.
Wanting to indulge his childhood cowboy fantasy, Jase invites the guys to attend a one-day rodeo camp with him. The events turn out to be harder than expected, but they enjoy putting on an exhibition for their families and friends. When Willie has to take Miss Kay and Bobo to a "date" with a friend's dog, he is dumbfounded at both their size difference and how seriously Miss Kay talks about their relationship.
After Willie's doctor suggests that he try to reduce his blood pressure, Korie starts cooking healthy food for him and makes him ride a bicycle to work. He tries to outsmart her at first, but changes his mind after she catches him eating barbecue ribs with a little help from Bella. Having left college to pursue a music career, Reed starts working part-time at the warehouse and finds himself facing a dilemma when Willie offers to hire him full-time.
Willie takes Jase to Arkansas for a sales pitch of the company's new line of turkey calls. Jase drives him to distraction during the trip, including booking them into a run-down motel for the night, and his plan to demonstrate the calls on a live turkey makes a mess of both the carpet and the client's order. Left in charge of the warehouse, Jep inadvertently sends out a package intended for Willie in an order the guys have packed up. After a scramble to the local shipping depots, they recover the package with a little help from one of Si's old friends - and find it to be a bag of golf tees.
Willie thinks Korie and the children are spending too much time on their phones, so he calls for the family to spend one day free of all technology. A planned fishing trip falls victim to old maps, his sons' inability to read them, and his own need to know how the LSU football game is going. After the guys pick up a head lice infestation from goofing around with Jep's new hat, Miss Kay shows up with a homemade remedy pungent enough to make them think the lice might not be so bad after all.
Willie nominates Jase for president of the homeowners' association as a joke, then enters the race himself in order to head off Jase's plan to repeal all the rules. The race takes its own bizarre turns as the brothers lobby for votes and find out how much work comes with the job. Jep offers to install a duck-viewing blind at the local zoo, but the project veers into ego-stroking when he has Miss Kay paint an exaggerated mural of himself and the guys for it.
Willie's purchase of a 3-D printer gives the guys an excuse to make toys and goof around at work. When he confiscates it and starts making prototype duck calls, though, they start to worry that this technology will take over their jobs and have to do what they dread most - actual work. After Si offers to invest in John Luke's snow cone stand against Willie's advice, he commandeers the business and cooks up some bizarre soup recipes.
After a cottonmouth kills Miss Kay's pet squirrel, she puts Jase in charge of hunting and killing it. He rounds up Cole, Jep, and Si for the job, which expands into a full-scale assault on the swamp with the help of napalm, dynamite, and Jep's radio-controlled truck. Puzzled by Rebecca's business strategy, Willie visits her boutique and gets pulled into a promotional photo shoot along with Jase, Jep, and Si.
Willie takes Lil' Will shopping for his first car, but the qualities they want (practical/affordable vs. sporty) and Lil' Will's desire for a motorcycle leave them at an impasse. Parents and kids team up to outmaneuver each other, with Korie helping Willie and John Luke on Lil' Will's side. Jase's idea for a "flying" duck decoy on a zip-line sends the guys to the swamp for a field test, with him doing most of the dirty work, and thoroughly fails to impress Willie.
An argument over whether Willie or Jase is the better tracker leads to a manhunt challenge. As Willie and Jep try to avoid capture by Jase and Si, Willie employs an arsenal of sneaky tricks only to find a big surprise waiting for him at the end of the course. Korie, Missy, and the older kids help with a charity project in Uganda, where John Luke finds the language barrier to be rather less imposing than he thinks.
While still in Uganda, Korie reminds Willie that he has to host a sleepover for Bella and her friends. An interruption by a couple of boys from Bella's school brings Willie, Jep, and the girls together to even the score and have a little fun along the way. Jase takes the guys out for a round of nighttime golf, with a donut run at stake, but ends up owing the course manager a lot more when he overstays his welcome in pursuit of a good score.
While advising Lil' Will on ways to win a girl's heart, Willie decides to demonstrate by doing something romantic for Korie without spending any money. He mobilizes the guys to put together a drive-in movie theater on the family land, impressing Korie with his resourcefulness. Jase's doubts about Missy's ability as a matchmaker leads them to make a wager over who can find a better romantic interest for Mountain Man, but his eventual choice catches both of them flat-footed.
Jase goes against Jep in a company-sponsored bass fishing tournament, bringing in Si and the guest of honor - professional fisherman Bill Dance - to fill out his team. Si spends the day telling Bill outrageous stories and looking for a mythical giant bass, driving Jase crazy in his push to win. Bill's comments on Willie's graying beard prompt him to try dyeing it, with the family's help and a slight color miscue along the way.
Short of manpower for a dove hunt on the first day of the season, Jase strikes a deal to get Jep, Mia, and Merritt to come along. Heat and a lack of doves derail the hunt, and the group's visit to an escape room game facility goes wrong after Jase takes the "escape" part a little too seriously. When Willie buys a deuce-and-a-half truck, Si commandeers it to give "official" tours of the company grounds and runs it out of gas on Willie's lawn.
Si's decision to go fishing leads the guys to a canal infested with Asian carp - an invasive species, and a safety hazard to boaters due to their strong jumping. The guys spend the day catching all they can, then try to find a way to make them edible with help from Miss Kay. The recipe is put to the test when Willie finds himself facing an unexpected capacity crowd at the diner and chaos in the kitchen caused by Si's antics.
The Robertsons band together to renovate a tennis court that Willie built at their favorite summer camp 20 years ago. Si and the brothers quickly get on each other's nerves in their cabin, Jep leads the kids in an unauthorized swimming break and winds up on lifeguard duty, and Reed and Cole manage to drop a dead tree squarely onto the court while felling it. With the help of a construction crew, they get the court cleaned and restored for future campers to enjoy.
Willie sets up a huge surprise party to celebrate Rowdy's adoption becoming official, with all his favorite activities and a welcome into the Robertson clan from the other children. Impressed by the results of a house-call massage to loosen his stiff muscles, Jase spreads the word among the guys and commandeers the masseuse at Missy's spa to look after them at the warehouse.
Jep takes a crash course in magic so he can perform at Gus's first birthday party, with Martin and Godwin as assistants, but the show ends up with a few unexpected rough edges. Willie and Jase double back to the snow cone truck where Willie left Si's favorite cup, only to find the truck gone. None of the new cups they buy for him measures up to his standards, and he insists that they scour the city for his lost one.
With Reed and Brighton's wedding coming up, Jase and Missy take dancing lessons from Sadie. Korie decides that she and Willie could use a refresher of their own to keep from embarrassing themselves after the ceremony. Jase's plans to officiate nearly fall through because his state certification has expired, but Reed helps him renew it online just in time.
Willie, Korie, and the guys confront Si about his sudden unusual behavior around the warehouse and learn that he has started pursuing a music career in his off-hours. He plans to retire from Duck Commander and wants a huge going-away party, taking time first to show Jep, Martin, and Godwin the secrets he has hidden around the warehouse - including a fully stocked "nap fort."
Willie, Jase, and Phil want to make one of Si's favorite duck calls from 25 years ago as a gift, but they have to go to Mississippi to have a new mold made for it. A walk around the workshop brings back memories of the company's early years.
Si insists on a bigger stage than the loading dock Korie wants to use, saying that he needs the space so that he and his backing band can perform. On the day of the party, Willie hosts a comedy roast of Si - who proceeds to surprise everyone by bringing in ZZ Top as his band. Willie gives him the first duck call from the workshop's new production run; after the party, he sneaks into the duck call room and steals his favorite chair as an additional souvenir of his time at Duck Commander.
