To prove that he and Alex are just like regular people after being chastised by his co-workers, Patrick takes his famous celebrity girlfriend to fellow teacher Kevin's barbecue – and Alex turns out to be the hit of the party. But Patrick begins to sense that his friends are taking advantage of Alex's celebrity when she agrees to have the wedding of Principal Harris' daughter at her house, and the wedding guests end up paying more attention to Alex than to the bride and groom.

Alex and Patrick's relationship is put to the test when they decide to move in together. Meanwhile, Alex has a tough decision to make when she's offered a role in a film that's set for a long shoot in Italy – which would separate her from Patrick for quite some time.
