Bob and Linda go out of town to attend a Burger Convention made up of Bob's online burger forum friends. Unable to find a suitable sitter, Teddy volunteers to watch the kids. While ordering them take out at Reggie's Deli, Tina becomes enamored with the delivery boy, Jonas. He gives her a ride back to the restaurant on his moped, though Teddy, asking the kids to think of him as "Uncle Teddy," thinks this is unsafe. Jonas, realizing that Tina's family own a burger joint, convinces her to let him and his friends hang out there after hours and get free food. Teddy, who turns out to be great with Gene and Louise, discovers Jonas and his friends in the restaurant and Tina cooking food for them. He kicks them out, which embarrasses and angers Tina. Before he takes off, Jonas tells Tina to meet them at the lighthouse and to bring them more "free" burgers. Teddy grounds Tina for misbehaving, but she sneaks out and meets the boys at the lighthouse. Tina is still enamored with Jonas, though it becomes apparent that his interests and habits are aggravating to her and his friends. In a last-ditch effort to come up with something cool to do, Jonas suggests they break into the lighthouse. They hoist Tina up to the window, but after she climbs in, a police officer catches her and the boys run away, abandoning her.
Meanwhile, Bob and Linda check into the hotel for the convention, only to learn that the other attendees hate Bob. Due to his lack of experience in online communication, the others mistook his frequent jokes and posts to be insults. Bob tries to explain that he likes them and didn't intend for his posts to be insulting, but the other attendees snub him. Attempting to cheer him up, Linda suggests that they just enjoy the hotel and its amenities together. However, the other attendees continue to harass them as they wait for their turn at the hot tub, forcing Bob and Linda into a standoff. When the attendees complain to the management and have them forced out, Bob and Linda retaliate by dumping the convention tubs of mayo (see Abby) and relish into the hot tub and are kicked out of the hotel.
Chatting with Bob and Linda on the phone, Teddy realizes that Tina has gone to the lighthouse to meet Jonas. Teddy is able to negotiate with the officer, explaining that Tina is a good kid. Tina apologizes to Teddy and thanks him, calling him "Uncle Teddy." They see Jonas sneaking back to get his moped, but Teddy is furious that Jonas had only been using Tina all this time and abandoned her. He throws Jonas's moped into the sea, as Bob and Linda spot them in their car as they pass by, unsure of what's going on. Teddy quickly tells the kids that it's bedtime, and the kids happily oblige.
