Doug wins two tickets to the NCAA men's championship basketball game in St. Louis and reluctantly agrees to take Arthur with him. Big mistake.

Doug, Carrie and Arthur are each stranded in different locations during a snowstorm. Doug is invited to wait out the storm with a Japanese couple, until he starts giving them advice. Meanwhile, Carrie finds shelter in a church and Arthur is forced to stay with Holly, much to her dismay since she has a date coming over.
