Eddie's birthday was off to a good start, until he sees that his van has been vandalized with the word, "nonse." This was a teen's poor attempt at spelling "nonce," which is a derogatory British slang word for sex offenders who prey on children. He tries to wash it off with soap and water, but this doesn't work. Before he fully breaks down, his wife Amanda suggests they take back the day and try to turn things around.

Eddie suggests they all go to get the supplies needed to remove the graffiti, go home to do the job, eat breakfast, go to the movies, then eat Chinese food for dinner. Things were looking up, and we see that the Millers are just like any normal family. As they drove to the hardware store, Eddie and Mandy shared stories from their childhood and how they met, their first kiss—much to the embarrassment of their daughter. They were even singing to the tune of 80s hit, "Take On Me," by Norwegian pop band A-ha.

But, of course, things don't go the Millers' way. Their trip to the hardware store ends with an outburst from Eddie. Just after a strange encounter with a store clerk who recognized him as Jamie's dad, he then sees the teen who vandalized his van from the parking lot. He confronts the kid and causes a scene, then splashes the van with paint and makes a mess on the store's parking lot which causes an even bigger scandal.
