The Barclays board their flight to Japan, with Donna and Jimmy navigating sibling banter and honeymoon logistics, while George and Mary try to relax after a few layovers. As they settle into their seats, George and Mary overhear familiar, unwelcome voices from first class, leading them to the shocking discovery that the loud and obnoxious Rathbone family is also on the flight. The episode ends with a comedic and tense reunion as George and Mary confront Bart Rathbone, much to their dismay.

67	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
As George and Mary recover from the shock of seeing the Rathbones on their flight to Japan, Rodney Rathbone makes a disruptive entrance, enraged by the news of Donna's recent marriage. He confronts Donna and her new husband Derek, leading to a heated exchange where Rodney boasts about their past and challenges Derek to prove his worth through a push-up contest. The situation escalates into an absurd showdown in the airplane aisle, with Donna exasperated by the antics and Jimmy gleefully capturing the chaos on camera.

68	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
At the Tokyo airport, the Barclays and Rathbones part ways, with Mary bidding Donna and Derek a fond farewell. However, the Barclay's relief is short-lived as the two families end up at the same hotel, even sharing the same floor, much to George's dismay and Bart's delight. Despite their desire to escape the Rathbones, the Barclays decide to tough it out to avoid additional expenses, reluctantly accepting that their vacation will be intertwined with their chaotic counterparts.

69	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
Derek and Donna start their honeymoon in Tokyo with Derek surprising Donna with a trip to a gaming convention instead of the romantic outing she expected. After spending six hours at the convention, they end up at a cramped capsule hotel due to a booking mistake, leading to comical discomfort but ultimately laughter and bonding. The next day, Derek redeems himself by taking Donna to a sushi bar, where she finally starts to feel the honeymoon experience she hoped for.

70	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
At breakfast, Bart Rathbone joins the Barclays, revealing that he is the top salesman for the Bonsai Corporation, which has flown his family to Japan to honor him with an award. The scene shifts to the Bonsai Corporation offices, where Japanese businessmen prepare to welcome Bart, expecting a person of great charisma and integrity based on his sales reports. As Bart, Doris, and Rodney arrive, the Rathbone family's antics, including a deodorant debacle in the elevator, leave a less-than-stellar first impression on the poised and formal Bonsai executives.

71	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
The Rathbones' cultural clash with Japanese cuisine and customs continues as they awkwardly navigate a sushi meal in the Bonsai Corporation office, leaving the businessmen questioning their "esteemed guest's" competence. Bart's fascination with a mounted katana leads to an impulsive display, culminating in him taking the sword on a city tour despite the businessmen's silent objections. The chaos peaks when Bart attempts a dramatic ninja move and accidentally destroys a significant statue, leaving everyone in shock and dismay.

72	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
the Rathbones face the wrath of the Bonsai Corporation after Bart accidentally destroys a significant statue, leading to public shame and the arrival of police and news crews. Meanwhile, the Barclays, relaxing in their hotel room, are shocked to see Bart on TV being arrested and realize they must help. Despite Jimmy's exhaustion, George and Mary head to the police station to support their troublesome acquaintances, emphasizing the unexpected bonds formed during their trip.

73	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
Jimmy is initially relieved to be away from the Rathbones' latest fiasco but can't help feeling concerned after reading alarming news about their situation. Unable to sleep, he reluctantly decides to investigate online, using a translator to understand the unfolding events. His persistence pays off when he stumbles upon a potential way to help the Rathbones, leaving him with a glimmer of hope and a renewed sense of purpose.

74	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
George and Mary arrive at the Tokyo police station to find Bart pleading for help, claiming a "tiny snafu" led to his imprisonment. Despite Bart's request for George to lie on his behalf, George refuses, and the policewoman explains the gravity of Bart's actions, revealing that he destroyed a beloved art installation. As Mary learns the potential consequences could include a steep fine or prison time, Jimmy heroically enters the scene, suggesting he might have a solution to the Rathbones' predicament.

75	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
In a Japanese courtroom, Jimmy dramatically assumes the role of an ace attorney despite having no legal credentials. During the hearing, he aggressively argues that the destroyed landmark was actually disliked by the public, using a stack of evidence to support his claim, despite objections from others in the courtroom. The judge, bemused by Jimmy’s unorthodox approach and misunderstanding of the hearing’s nature, privately questions the translator about Jimmy’s grasp of the proceedings.

76	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
Jimmy shifts from his over-the-top courtroom antics to a more sincere plea, persuading the judge to reduce the charges against Bart from a severe international incident to a mere fine for destruction of property. Outside the courtroom, Bart thanks Jimmy and offers a small but amusing discount on future purchases, while George and the rest of the Rathbones share their appreciation for his efforts. Back at the hotel, the Rathbones face a new dilemma about repaying a debt, only to be interrupted by Derek and Donna, who humorously misunderstand the situation.

77	Evan David	Thiago Del Ponte	????
the Rathbones face the dire prospect of being stranded in Japan due to unpaid damages, prompting the newlywed "Barkley's" to offer unexpected help. Derek and Donna reveal they possess a valuable video game that could cover the costs, which they were initially planning to sell for future honeymoons. Grateful for the assistance, the Rathbones and Barclays prepare to return home, with Bart enthusiastically proposing another combined family vacation to Europe, much to Donna’s bemusement.
