Sam's decision to invite boyfriend Owen (James Tupper, Men in Trees) for dinner to meet her parents turns into a disaster when Owen's philosophy about chicken farms rubs chicken farm owner Howard the wrong way. Meanwhile, when Dena becomes concerned that Chase isn't spending enough time with her, she decides to be with him by sitting in on one of his meetings -- and unknowingly usurps his staunch authority with his employees; and Todd takes full advantage of having the apartment all to himself after asking Sam to stay at her parents' house while his mother's in town -- even after his mother cancelled her visit.
