Dharma & Greg

Dharma e Greg si incontrano, ancora bambini, sulla metropolitana, e si scambiano un lungo sguardo. Anni dopo i due si rivedono sempre in metro, s'innamorano e impulsivamente decidono di scappare e sposarsi. Dopo il matrimonio, però, sorgono inevitabili litigi tra i due, causati dalle enormi differenze tra loro, e dai loro genitori, anch'essi molto diversi. Ad un certo punto sembra che i due protagonisti stiano già per lasciarsi, ma in seguito Greg raggiunge la moglie e i due appianano i loro contrasti.

Dharma e Jane scoprono sul tetto un anziano nativo americano, che le spiega di trovarsi in quel posto perché sta aspettando di morire, e che in quel luogo in passato sorgeva un cimitero indiano. Così Dharma decide di invitarlo a vivere nella loro casa fino al momento della sua morte, che si dovrà svolgere secondo un preciso rituale. A Greg la cosa non va giù: è convinto che l'uomo stia solo cercando di rubare tutti i loro oggetti preziosi. Quando l'anziano sembra scomparso, Greg si convince che il furto sia stato compiuto, ma in realtà poi si scopre che l'uomo è morto placidamente nella loro casa, come da rituale.

Greg ha un'occasione per essere eletto parlamentare, ma si preoccupa di come Dharma e la sua famiglia possano apparire per gente che non li conosce. Invece, la donna fa di tutto per apparire una perfetta donna in carriera, mentre la sua famiglia fa di tutto per restare aldifuori della questione. Durante una conferenza, però, Greg si fa sorprendere con la cerniera dei pantaloni abbassata, e in seguito viene fotografato mentre fa sesso con la moglie. I due pensano così che la campagna elettorale sia definitivamente persa, ma inaspettatamente questi eventi hanno un'eco positiva. Ma infine il candidato avversario di Greg svela di essere gay, rendendo così inutili tutti gli sforzi dei due.

A causa di un nuovo lavoro molto pericoloso, Greg richiede un miglioramento delle sue condizioni di sicurezza. Per ottenere questo risultato, come da prassi, vengono fatti dei controlli su lui e sulla sua famiglia. Si scopre così che in realtà Larry, al contrario di quanto avesse sempre pensato, in realtà è incensurato; per evitare che questo ci rimanga male nel saperlo, Greg decide di organizzare un finto fascicolo dell'FBI su di lui, che avrebbe dovuto rubare e nascondere. Nonostante qualche difficoltà organizzativa, il finto furto va a buon fine. Nel frattempo, si scopre che Edward non aveva divorziato dalla sua prima moglie e che quindi di fatto non è regolarmente sposato con Kitty; ma questa, invece di andare su tutte le furie, diventa inaspettatamente eccitata.

Per il giorno del ringraziamento, Dharma si propone di cucinare per la famiglia riunita, anche se non tutti sono d'accordo: ad esempio, i genitori della donna sono a digiuno per protesta contro l'uccisione dei tacchini, e, sempre per protesta, ne portano uno vivo alla cena. Dharma ha qualche difficoltà in cucina, in particolare con un'aragosta e con delle cipolle, che normalmente le piacciono ma in quell'occasione non riesce a sopportare. Questo particolare spinge Abby a pensare che la figlia sia incinta: così, tenendolo nascosto fino all'ultimo a Greg, decide di fare un test di gravidanza. Ma alla fine questo risulta negativo, causando in parte delusione per Dharma. Infine, viene servita la cena.

La donna, inizialmente disperata, decide in seguito di andare a parlare con l'istruttrice del corso concorrente, e scopre che questa in realtà ha ingannato gli iscritti con delle bugie, raccontando loro delle statistiche sugli scippi totalmente irrealistici. Dopo un incubo avuto da Dharma dopo questo incontro, le due si incontrano nuovamente, ma questa volta l'istruttrice di autodifesa è molto più aggressiva, picchiando la povera Dharma. In seguito, anche Greg, nel tentativo di vendicare la moglie, si fa picchiare dalla donna.

Nonostante la sua recente vittoria in una causa delicata, Greg è avvilito perché pensa che il suo lavoro non serva a niente. Dharma lo spinge così a licenziarsi, nella ricerca del lavoro ideale che gli porti la felicità. Ovviamente, i genitori dell'uomo, venuti a sapere di questo gesto, sono sconcertati, ma non riescono ad opporsi in nessun modo alla sua decisione.

Greg è geloso perché Leonard, l'ex fidanzato di Dharma è appena tornato da un viaggio in India e, non avendo un posto per dormire, Dharma lo invita a fermarsi a vivere nel salotto di casa. Inoltre, i genitori sia di Dhamra che di Greg sembrano preferire di gran lunga Leonard a lui: si ritrovano a discutere insieme e quasi si dimenticano di lui. Inoltre, Dharma esalta la scelta di castità fatta dall'ex e chiede a Greg di provare a stare per un po' di tempo senza fare sesso. L'uomo sembra non essere per niente d'accordo, ma è costretto ad accettare.

Per il giorni di San Valentino, Dharma e Greg decidono di passare un romantico week-end in una ridente località, che dovrebbe essere l'occasione giusta per far venire Dharma per la prima volta a contatto con la neve, che la donna non ha mai visto. Giunti sul posto, però, i due scoprono che in realtà il posto non è bello come il volantino voleva far credere: sono addirittura costretti a dormire in una roulotte, e della neve non se ne vede nemmeno l'ombra. Dharma non sembra molto scontenta della cosa, ma al contrario Greg si lamenta apertamente con i proprietari; la sera, improvvisamente, la roulotte si muove, tanto da far pensare ai due che si tratti di un sequestro di persona. Ma la mattina la coppia si sveglia, e scopre che i proprietari hanno deciso di portarli in un'altra località, molto più accogliente, e veramente innevata. Intanto, Abby e Larry cercano di invitare i Montgomery a una riunione ambientalista, ma questi equivocano e credono che i due stiano offrendo loro uno scambio di coppia.

Kitty è in procinto di festeggiare il suo cinquantesimo compleanno, ma la donna non è affatto contenta dell'avvicinarsi di questa ricorrenza. Così Dharma, Abby e Jane decidono di convincerla che quest'età è un passo molto importante della vita, e cercano di spingerla a comunicare di più con se stessa. Ma come prevedibile la donna sembra non reagire alle spinte delle tre, e addirittura progetta di praticare degli interventi di chirurgia plastica, cosa che sembra una bestemmia per Dharma ed Abby. In seguito, le tre riescono a convincere Kitty a lasciarsi andare e uscire con loro, truccata da donna più giovane; inizialmente tutto va bene, ma quando un uomo le dice che somiglia a sua madre, questa va su tutte le furie. In seguito, però, Dharma scopre che la madre dell'uomo ha solo 38 anni, e così il compleanno di Kitty si trasforma in una festa. Nel frattempo, gli uomini della famiglia sono travolti dalla febbre dei Giochi olimpici invernali: i quattro decidono di simulare le emozioni del bob lanciandosi da una montagna a bordo di una canoa.

Si avvicina la primavera, uno dei momenti in cui Dharma sembra diventare ancora più strana del solito. Per prima cosa, va a ballare nuda sul tetto della sua casa, in seguito trasforma il salotto in un giardino, ricoprendolo interamente di erba. In seguito, venuta a sapere che alla festa del country club a cui lei e Greg vengono invitati dai Montgomery ci sarà una gara di ballo, decide a tutti i costi di parteciparvi, nonostante la decisa opposizione dei genitori (soprattutto di Larry) e di Greg, che non si sente all'altezza per un concorso simile. Ma in seguito la donna riesce a convincere il marito, e i due iniziano così ad allenarsi in vista della gara. Giunti al momento fatidico, i due sembrano essere alla pari con un'altra coppia molto in gamba, e per cercare di vincere, Dharma decide di effettuare una mossa che i due non erano mai riusciti a completare prima, concludendo dunque l'esibizione con un clamoroso fiasco, atterrando in malo modo su un tavolo, e non riuscendo a classificarsi neppure tra i primi dodici.

When Greg confronts his boss, he is driven to desperation by the man's apparent complete inability to discriminate between similar items (Tahiti vs. Buffalo as a honeymoon destination, freshly baked bread vs. moldy supermarket bread), and almost unhinged by the boss's decision to put Pete in charge while he is in medical leave. At the same time Greg must deal with Dharma's impulse decision to open a store without first deciding what she will sell, and the fact that the place quickly becomes packed with people who find Dharma's environment strangely soothing and establish a barter economy amongst themselves.

After Dharma invites the developer and his wife to dinner, then has to fight off his sexual advances, she is forced to accept Greg's viewpoint -- that he is evil -- and to seek a flattered Kitty's advice on how to get rid of him and save her parents' beloved home. The solution involves Jane, Pete, a trampoline, some garbage cans, and the IRS... and a wonderful coda using the trampoline.
