The episode starts out in the present day (1997). Debra is helping Ally build a solar system model for school when Frank, Marie and Robert all barge in. After Ray pushes them all out through the door, Debra asks Ray why they left their old apartment to move in next to his parents.
The episode then flashes back three years earlier (1994).
The flashback scene has Ray and Debra living in an apartment in Queens. Ally is a baby and Debra is pregnant. (We learn in later seasons that it was Debra's apartment before she married Ray.)
When they find out that Debra's pregnant with twin boys, they figure they need a bigger place...preferably a house. Ray examines a map and figures they can't be too close to his parents because they would be over every day. And they can't live too far away because they would become "overnight guests". There had to be someplace in the middle.
When the Barone family is informed that Ray and Debra want a house, Frank says he can get them one because he still has his broker's license. The house he has for them just happens to be the one across the street from them.
They go over to take a look at the house. Ray hates the idea of living next to his parents, but Debra thinks it's great. She eventually convinces Ray to buy the house.
•This episode's gags hark back to the pilot episode. Frank sniffs the twins heads and explains that he's "sucking in that youth". And Marie opens Debra's refrigerator and announces that she smells "something questionable".
•Actress Patricia Heaton actually was pregnant with her third child during the filming of this episode. So the writers and creators used her pregnancy in the episode.
•Robert's dog Shamsky appears in this episode. Robert also mentions his wife Joanne in the flashback scenes.
