Plot[]
With Bernie now his girlfriend, Andrew has been assigned Flanny the Love Bug. Jay attempts to introduce Matthew to his family, but his brothers violently fight over a McDonald's meal Jay had brought, and his mother passes out from heavy drinking. Nick is horrified to see that he has the same habit as his father to hold out his pinky finger while holding something. At school, the students have taken genetic tests for biology class. Missy finds out she is 30 percent Nigerian while Elijah finds out he is 47 percent. Nick finds out he has Scottish ancestry. Jay finds out he has a half-brother due to his father's cheating, and sees it as a chance to reintroduce Matthew to his family, to Matthew's reluctance. Elijah asks Missy out to a Jamaican restaurant for research (as the town does not have a Nigerian restaurant) and Missy is confused as to whether it is a date or not. Nick brings up the Scottish ancestry results at dinner, which causes Elliot to storm off and Diane to say that talking about his family is off-limits. Jay finds out his half-brother is a 26-year-old magician who dismisses the familial connection; Jay then gets the idea to start looking for others of his father's children around town. Jay's mother reveals she has a book of all the dirt on Guy in case of her disappearance, which Jay starts using to follow his father's other children listed. Nick and Andrew snoop in Nick's parent's closet, where they discover a box of medals and a passport for "William Alastair MacGregor" with a photo of Elliot as a young man. The two search the name on the Internet and find an old video of Nick's dad as a young champion of the sport of "Scottish nipple twisting". At the restaurant, Missy and Elijah soon bond over discussing the history of West African cultures and art, to Mona's frustration, but soon she delights when Missy accepts Elijah's invitation to a Friday night party. Jay finds out that he has dozens of secret half-siblings and plans to introduce Matthew to every one of them by inviting all of them to a "bastard family reunion". At the party, Guy arrives due to an alert he received about a naked lady showering, and soon Jay's announcement is overshadowed by all of Guy's offspring begging him for attention, which causes Guy to escape through a hidden tunnel while the other brothers loot the house and leave. Matthew tells Jay that despite what they said, he is much better than them and somehow ended up a good person. As Coach Steve is a kind of father figure to him, Jay introduces Matthew as his lover. Nick and Andrew engage in twisting each other's nipples until Elliot finds them, and explains that his father was obsessed with nipple twisting, raising his son to be a twister until he only felt loved when brutalizing someone else's nipples, and was so desperate for said love that he pulled an opponent's nipples off during a match. After that, he left his father's home and became a surgeon, vowing to be the opposite kind of father he had. Flanny, disgusted by Andrew's depravity in one day, quits being his Love Bug, but stays on after hearing Maury talk lovingly about Andrew's behavior. Missy finds out that the party is in fact a Christian Youth Group meeting, but does hold Elijah's hand.
