As the curtains rise on the third installment of "The Four Seasons," Claude (portrayed by Marco Calvani) groans about the persistent mosquitoes, while Ginny (Erika Henningsen) frolics joyfully in the shimmering waters. Ginny playfully reminds Nick (Steve Carell) of how he teased her for donning her bikini underneath her clothes, insisting it was a worthwhile precaution before urging the rest of the group to join her in the aquatic fun. Nick, alone among them, takes up her invitation.
Later, Ginny enlightens Jack (Will Forte) and the others about their accommodations being one of the foremost zero-waste hotels. Surprise ripples through the group as they notice Danny (Colman Domingo) sporting bleached blonde hair. Danny quips that dying his hair is the only adventure he's been permitted in the past three months, adding that he's poised to return to work soon upon securing a lucrative project from a prominent hospitality firm in Austin—a prospect he admits he's enjoying contemplating, yet intends to decline. Ginny reveals that the yurts are equipped with air horns to deter any crocodiles lurking nearby.
In a private conversation, Jack and Kate (Tina Fey) dissect Ginny's remarks. Kate laments that Nick is undergoing a transformation in his personality solely for the sake of his 30-year-old girlfriend, wondering why he couldn't undergo his midlife crisis within the confines of their home. Jack expresses concern that Nick might inadvertently refer to Ginny by his late wife's name, Anne. Danny joins their huddle to discuss the eccentricities of their current situation, griping about the hotel's quirks. Kate concedes that Anne (Kerri Kenney) hasn't been faring well and resents having to keep their trip under wraps. Anne's misery has extended to wishing ill upon everyone else's happiness. Interrupted by the sound of intimate activities, Danny opts to use the air horn, cutting the moment short. Soon after, Danny and Nick find themselves together in the office. Danny voices his discomfort with the surroundings, while Nick implores him to feign enjoyment, considering the meticulous planning Ginny has invested in their trip. Danny stresses the importance of introducing the Mays to their unique lifestyle. He attempts to dissuade Nick from reliving his youth, but Nick persists, begging Danny to play along for Ginny's sake.
Claude later assists Danny by applying sunscreen to his legs and feet. Following a delightful boat ride, they all settle on the beach, where Claude reveals that Kate and Danny once shared a romantic past, a revelation Danny promptly denies—until Kate corrects him by mentioning they shared three kisses, to which Danny counters, arguing two were merely part of a theatrical production. Jack shares his background with Nick, revealing he worked under Nick for four years before being let go due to his inadequate skills in market analysis. Jack harbored a soft spot for small businesses, which clashed with Nick's priorities. Nick casually mentions that Ginny is his dental hygienist and they're heading to Burning Man the following month. An unintentional slip from Kate, who addresses Ginny as Beth, prompts Ginny to wonder if she should be concerned. Claude clarifies that Beth is Ginny's daughter, while Danny enthusiastically claims they're enchanted with the hotel.
Elsewhere, Kate and Danny converse about towels and Claude in hushed tones. Danny recounts Claude's post-surgery struggles, noting that while his doctor assures him he's out of danger, Claude remains skeptical. Ginny inquiries about the group's enjoyment, to which Nick assurances them they are having a grand time, although Ginny detects signs of exhaustion on their faces. Nick peruses the list of activities Ginny has meticulously arranged for everyone's amusement.
Nick puts on a brave face, pretending that everything is just peachy. Later in the evening, Jack confides in Kate, revealing that Ginny had an unintended glimpse of his private parts. That very night, Danny voices his discontent about their yurt accommodations. In response, Claude sends him off to the beach while he attempts to rectify the living quarters. Meanwhile, Kate catches sight of Nick shedding tears. She informs Jack that Nick is sitting alone by the fire pit, drowning his sorrows in booze. Kate speculates that Nick has finally come to terms with the mess he's made of his life, urging Jack to go check on him. Soon after, their ears catch the unmistakable sounds of Nick and Ginny indulging in intimate moments once again.
The following morning, Claude hands Danny his Vasotec, his worries growing about Danny's well-being. Claude starts contemplating finding alternative lodging. They then join Nick, who presents Ginny with a thoughtful gift. Danny announces their plans for a historical adventure to view ancient petroglyphs, reassuring everyone that they are free to enjoy the pedal pub in their absence. In a private conversation, Nick approaches Kate, pleading with her and Jack to stop acting so oddly. Kate counters by suggesting that he's the one acting peculiar. Their discussion escalates into an argument just before they head out for paddle boarding.
Ginny directs Kate's attention to a secret beach they had stumbled upon on TikTok, emphasizing the need to climb up rocky terrain to reach it. Kate persuades Nick to join them in the climb. Determined, Nick manages to scale the rocks on his own but ends up cutting his foot in the process. Upon their return, Kate urges the office attendant to summon an ambulance. Elsewhere, Danny and Claude are lounging at a swanky resort when an employee recognizes them from the yurt place, offering them a cabana for a mere $100.
Ginny dashes to a pharmacy to procure cream for Nick's injured foot. Nick comes to a realization: everyone around him leaves because he himself had left Anne. Kate reassures him that he doesn't have to put up a front with them. Nick insists that he's happier now than he's ever been. Kate mentions witnessing his tears by the fire, to which Nick responds that he was crying out of disbelief at how fortunate he considers himself. Meanwhile, Claude and Danny continue to enjoy their stay at the posh resort. When Danny steps into the bathroom, he's astounded to find Anne, unexpectedly present at the same resort.
