A serious accident has left Angelo in the hospital fighting to survive while others place blame as emotions run high.
But the trip goes south when Daphne uses the opportunity to act out and Bay receives news regarding Angelo's family history.
Looking for a distraction, Daphne organizes a Senior Skip Day for her Carlton classmates, but things get out of hand.
Meanwhile, Kathryn, John and Regina are surprised to learn the severity of Daphne's bad behavior; and Tank assists Toby with his new burgeoning business.
Daphne grows depressed as she realizes how her bad choices are sure to ruin her plans to attend medical school.
Daphne wakes up as Bay Kennish ("Bay-Daphne") with her hearing intact, who is a skilled soccer player in training for the Olympics; while Bay wakes up as Daphne Sorrento ("Daphne-Bay"), deaf but a recognized artist, with a brother, Angelo Junior (AJ).
However, these benefits come at a price: workaholic cosmetics entrepreneur Kathryn and depressed, stay-at-home has-been John are on the verge of divorce; Toby is an angst-ridden Emo; Emmett is only Daphne-Bay's platonic friend; and Regina has never conquered her alcoholism.
When the girls decide this is worse, they fail at trying to reverse it at a disastrous Christmas-eve dinner party at the Kennishes, and succeed at waking up back to normal only after embracing the mothers' traditions which they once hated.
