Plot: Taylor's viewing of Tim Gunn's reality show is interrupted when Tom decides to watch the college basketball tournament with Freight Train, but he quickly becomes frustrated when Frieght Train enjoys spending quality bonding time with Tyler instead after Tyler starts picking the winners. To keep Tyler's feeling from getting hurt, Tom tries to break them up but finds out that Freight Train has actually bonded with Tyler, buying him golf clubs and going out together.

Tom tries to open up to his dad but finds out that his father never forgave him for failing in a stunt show as a child, costing them a trip to Orlando and ruining Freight Train's life with his bad luck. One Tom learns the real reason behind Freight Train's cold attitude, he is determined to find a new father figure and goes head-to-head against his dad and Tyler in a two-man golf tournament with the man that kept Freight Train from play pro football, Cannonball Williams. At the tournament, Freight Train worries about not being able to keep up with Cannonball and gets set straight by Tyler while Tom is determined not to lose his dad.

Meanwhile, Taylor runs to the store for Shubie when Vera refuses to go, but she becomes surprised when Taylor actually saves enough spare chang from running to afford to buy a 1967 Mustang on Ebay. Going for a ride with his buddies, they raise havoc all over town, crashing into the golf course and giving Tom a clear shot by taking out a tree. On the final hole, Tom only needs to make an easy shot but pauses to think about what winning the trophy would mean to Tyler. Tom swallows his pride and muffs the shot, allowing Tyler and Freight Train to win. Tyler admits that while Freight Train is a great Grandfather, his dad is an even better father. Shubie wraps things up by starting a Caddyshack-style party while Taylor burrows out from underground and his friends are rescued from the mangled remains of his car.
