Lisa gets invited to work at a prestigious science institute, seeing it as an opportunity to get away from her crazy and crowded family life. When Lori and Bobby attempt to have their daily conversation, a few misunderstandings lead to them having a rather awkward conversation. Because of this, the two fear that dating long distance isn't working out for them. With encouragement from their respective parents, Lori and Bobby attempt to show each other that they care for each other though various means, like signs of affection, a home video, and virtual dating, but when that ends up not working, the two decide to spend their day together, which is just as troublesome as when they were separate.
