However, Vision is perplexed by the impending anniversary, unaware of its significance. His attempts to clarify the evening's plans with Wanda over the phone are met with misunderstandings. Amidst this confusion, an odd advertisement for a Stark Industries toaster interrupts the sitcom's flow.

That evening, chaos unfolds as Wanda eagerly awaits a romantic evening with Vision. Her hopes are dashed when Vision returns with his boss, Mr. Hart, sparking a comical situation—at least for the audience's amusement. Wanda is displeased with Vision's miscommunication, but it turns out the heart on the calendar was a cryptic reference to Mr. Hart. After a brief misunderstanding, the pair decides to conjure some magic to salvage the evening.

Wanda swiftly utilizes her abilities to whip up a meal while Vision sings "Old MacDonald" to entertain their guests. As they gather around the table, Wanda and Vision struggle to recall their past and how they came to this town. Just as they begin to delve deeper, Mr. Hart suddenly chokes on his food, prompting Vision to swiftly intervene with his powers to dislodge the offending morsel.

After Mr. Hart departs for the night, Wanda and Vision bid him farewell and exhale a sigh of relief. As they sit side by side on the couch, they conjure a pair of rings, signaling the end of the episode—or is it? As the camera pans out, we glimpse a control room and a figure seemingly overseeing the channel's operations.
