Joey can't persuade Laura to give him more then two tickets for his TV series' Deep Powder's fancy premiere, while he already promised to take the whole home gang along, so he fixes the ladies up with dates from the production team: Alex gets an older lesbian, Gina his otherwise unknown manager Martin, who didn't even want to come, but turns out to be Laura's ex and nightmare. Only Michael gets Joey's own guest ticket, but loses interest in a sexy girl, who clearly made a pass at him, when he spots actor Brent Spiner, who played his SciFi idol, Data (the android from Star Trek the Next Generation), for whom that part is alas the one subject he's sick of discussing, but agent Bobbie forces him; he actually finds Michael insightful, so Michael must chose. Joey has a surprisingly exciting way to calm obsessive Laura down...

Joey finds it hard to get in the Christmas spirit due to the Californian heat, while Gina even stopped buying a tree when Michael lost his naive Christmas faith- at age three. Joey is in a new series, Powder Deep, where the rest of the cast is so green that he is the 'veteran' playing a patriarch in the snowy North, but he manages to upset the utterly obsessive producer Lauren Beck, so after spilling the beans on the next episode at a press conference he fears the missing last page of the new script probably means his character captain Powder's death in a bomb explosion...

Joey didn't get the lines for a Deep Powder promotion shot, and finds on air it's actually a viewer vote to decide whether his, Gunnar's or Bodie's character will die. Yet he worries more about handling Sara who asked him to live together. Once the couple realize neither is really ready for that, she makes a drastic choice... While Alex is returning to the dating scene, Michael accepts Joey's offer to ask Bobbie to help him and his mate Seth, who got them both removed from the ticket-line for the latest Star Wars movie, to get into a professional screening, but Michael sits not only next to a crew member, instead of Seth the second ticket is for Bobbie, who afterward has to face lioness-mother Gina's wrath...

When Alex delights in Gina's home-made lasagna, she's taught to cook it for her husband, but later claims to have improved it with a secret ingredient- a duel is declared, to be jury-tasted by eager Joey and reluctant Michael. Joey ignores a warning from producer-director Lauren Beck not to get romantically involved with his show daughter-performer Katie, who strikes jealously when she erroneously thinks Joey hits on Lauren. Joey can't talk her over, asks his agent Bobbie, but she makes it even worse... Meanwhile the home-front forced Michael to pick from the equally good lasagnas, alas not ma's...
